I subscribe to both CT and CCT magazine, and often wonder if any of the folks whose trucks grace the pages of those mags ( including some "rust buckets" who leave me scratching my head) are members of this forum. The winners of the "F 100 of the year" at the Supernationals, for instance. If there are, they apparently prefer to remain anonymous..

On two separate occasions, I had my IH pickups in the International Happenings publication, (a '68 4x4 and '73 4x4) That was after I sold them both, lol. They were certainly nothing to brag about, but the new owner thought so, or something.

Fking is one that comes to mind, and Imlowr2 should have his in there, IMO. There's other here as well, just that my mind is drawing a blank.

I did make the pages of CCT during the Super Nats coverage one year, too bad I didn't have my truck there though. They snapped a pic of me and another member talking about his truck.

Talking

My truck has been in Classic Trucks and Custom and Classic Trucks magazine. The first time was in '98 at the Supernats and then later in '04 or so in Classic Trucks and then Custom Classic Trucks mag in the coverage of the Owensboro,KY show. I'm not sure of the year right now. I'll have to look in my truck to see the exact year? It was a BIG honor for me to have my truck in a mag.

Not on a magazine cover but my 73 Mustang made a calendar a few years ago. All I got was a free calendar though. I thought it was cool.

Mine wasn't in a magazine per-se, but me and some FTE guys from KS (Bronco's and late model guys) were in a Ford promo video...my wife even got a sound byte! All we got was a burned copy of the DVD though...still, that's a lot of fun.
