What magazines are out there?

Are there any specific monthly or quarterly magazines that are for our trucks? I get hot rod and truckin magazine but want ones that are more specific to ours. Any out there?

Thanks
Mike

Well there has been some discussion here lately about a couple of our guys in True Blue Ford Trucks: THE Ford-only Truck magazine, True Blue Trucks features all Ford trucks, classic, new, rusty, shiny, gas, diesel, toys, workers, street rods, 4x4 off road

The cover of the latest magazine had Eidth. This thread has a pdf of the article.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...harleymsn.html

I'm not sure of any others.

I get Vintage Truck. Not heavy reading, more about stock old trucks. Never really anything about heavily modified trucks which is why I like it. A few interesting tech articles each month.

Interested to see if there are better mags about stock classic trucks....

I get Classic Truck & Custom Classic Truck magazines. They've got a decent mix of trucks and articles.

I have bought Classic Truck and Custom Classic truck mags for about 6 years but find that there is mostly advertising and very high end dollar mods not in my budget. Sooo what I have done recently to lessen my frustration is to go on line to these very truck mags and read them there.

I have a laptop and wireless internet at home, so my laptop is my new "magazine"

I get classic truck which seems pretty good. I must say on a recent trip I picked up Vintage Truck and I thought it was very good and geared toward the stock crowd.

I get Auto Restorer. It is not truck specific but the "how to" stuff is well written about real life work on vintage vehicles.

is that the one that was printed in black & white and said they didnt run ads because they want to bring you "honest" opinions about various parts, and not be pressured by the almighty advertising dollar?
