Busted Knuckles- 1948 Chevy 3100- Toys for Tya
The truck culture is generally geared toward bearded men who bear a resemblance to rugged lumberjacks with the knowledge of used car salesmen. When you hear about a truck owned by a woman, some may wonder about the extent of her involvement in the build but still admire the progress. When you find out the

2003 Chevy Silverado- Avoiding the Shaft
Most people don’t think about replacing the U-joints on their truck until they hear the telltale whine. That’s exactly what happened to us and Project Over/Under recently. With the truck basically complete, we’ve mostly been enjoying it, but we’ve also done a little fine-tuning. We changed out the exhaust—our former kit was rubbing in a

1967 Chevy C10- Ol’ Blue
There are not very many people who share Shawn Shipers’ experience. He has been fortunate to still own the first car he purchased in the fall of 1987 on his 16th birthday: an all-original shortbed with a six-cylinder, three-on-the-tree ’67 C10 pickup he named Ol’ Blue. This was Shawn’s main form of transportation through high
