Living the Life and Printing the Passion

What up, Street Trucks fam! We have been working hard across all our Engaged Media titles to make sure you get the best in custom car and truck culture delivered directly to you. But it doesn’t stop there—we’re also building a strong online automotive enthusiast community over at Motortopia.com. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s the time! It’s a place where gearheads like you can upload pics of your rides and promote your auto events for free. It’s an awesome way to share your hard work—and who knows, it might even catch the eye of fellow enthusiasts planning their next big event trip.

Now, let’s talk about what’s in this issue. We’re kicking things off with a jaw-dropping Ford Alumiduty truck that’s been fully polished, showing off the raw metal that was hidden under the factory paintjob. Then, dive into the details of a custom body-dropped red F-250 dually featuring work by Bob Grant and stunning photos by Johnny O. We also have a retro-inspired blue OBS Chevy that’s sure to hit you with some serious nostalgia.

A fan of the ’03-’06 Silverado? Check out “Nina,” a clean and custom red Cateye Silverado that’s as fierce as she is stylish. Our cover truck this month is a classic Chevy C-10 brought up to modern standards—a perfect blend of old-school cool and new-school tech. We’ll also take you behind the scenes at APEX Auto Leather, give you coverage from the Lowdown Roundup and Southern Tradition shows, and take a deep dive into the history of the iconic Ford Bronco. Plus, we’re installing QA1 coilovers on a 1998 Chevy Tahoe.

Make sure to head over to Motortopia and share your builds and events. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got! Email me directly with any editorial considerations!

 

Keep it custom, Chris Hamilton
