Truck Builder Magazine?
Has anyone got any old copies of this? I am specifically interested in the October/November 2001 issue.
It had a tech article about installing a Jaguar IRS, yes thats IRS not IFS. There have been a lot of discussions recently on the front end mod.
I decided a long time ago to use a Jag rear axle and recently was told that there was a really good tech article on this in the said magazine.
So anyone out there got one?
I have tried to see if reprints are available, but I cant find any.
Thanks
Lee

Lee; Don't know if this will help any but; at last Supernationals I meet a guy (Terry Altman) Russville Arkansas who's 55 F100 was fitted with a 91 Lexus V-8 and a "86" Jaguar IRS. His Truck took runner up if I remenber correctly. He owns a body shop in that town, probably could do a search thru web site to locate him personnally.
I do have the recent article from August 05 issue of Custom Classic Truck that cover his truck and the F100 Truck of the year; if you would like I could send it to ya?
Just send me a mailing address........
P.S My mother & sister where born not to far from South Hampton UK; unfortnatley my Grandmother pass away acouple years ago...

Yes I have seen Terry and Teri's Truck in the Custom Classic Truck feature. It looks very Nice indeed. I think that the article in th earlier mag was a little simpler and not so fancy. I intend to have a weekend driver (if not a daily) and I dont intend spending the time or money that Terry did on his 55.
I beleive that it was a simple weld in frame that supports the axle rather than lots of rods.

The easiest way to install the Jag IRS is to retain the original cage and fasten the cage to the truck frame. The rear cage, like the front crossmember will control all off the gemetry brakes etc. The downside is the cage is not a pretty thing. Good luck, I am doing the Jag IFS but 9 inch rear on leaf spriings in the rear.

I am not sure if the magazine is still published as I can only find reference to old copies. But you could try here: http://www.mondotimes.com/2/topics/5/entertainment/11/13596
Hope that helps,

AFAIK it's still published... Buckaroo puts it out... same company as Street Rod Builder...and Super Rod... John Dianna's company.. nice slick mag with high end trucks but it does have some very nice tech pieces in it, lots of pictures... It started with oct 2001 I subscribed for a year then it really moved to later model trucks... Barnes and Noble and Books-a-million both keep it on their mag rack...

Thanks John,
Really appreciate that, super fast response too.
Isnt this site, the members and the internet really cool! Who would have imagined 10 years ago that fellow enthusiasts of old classic trucks would be able to chat and exchange info across the globe as easily as this.
Superb!
Cheers

What was in that issue? The first time I bought it it had the Henne's 55 Orange 55 F100 in it. It also made mention of you in the editorial section. Buckaroo has relocated to Dayton, TN. This is a town between Knoxville and Chattanooga on I-75. They are still publishing Truck Builder. They do nice features and great tech articles. I normally go to Books - A - Million. Look thru and decide if I want to buy it.
