C10 Builder's Guide Fall 2022

WELL, WE DID IT. We created another badass C10 mag dedicated strictly to the genre we all grew up with. I have to admit I definitely never anticipated running this here book, but it’s definitely now a labor of love. We poured heart and soul into this issue, and I truly hope you can see it shine through. Starting with a bang, Fat Fender debuts one of the most insane yet clean C10 builds of our time. Then we had to fill these pages with a ton of killer features from all eras and types to quench our thirst for all things custom. This issue jumps right in with more pages dedicated to C10s/GM post AD with some of the most heavily modified and custom shop builds all the way…

The truck was in a shed for more than 10 years and had 87,000 original miles on the inline-six with three on the tree. After getting the truck home from Atlanta, Andy devised a plan for a complete tear-down. Hunt & Gather Andy began his plans by having a local body shop assess the ’67, and an agreement was made. He disassembled everything except the cab and sent it off for bodywork. During the bodywork phase, Andy started to gather his parts for a complete build. He scored a custom bench seat at the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge,…

WHEN THE BEGINNING OF THE year comes around, one show is on everyone’s mind: Lone Star Throwdown. As the saying goes, “Everything is BIG in Texas,” and the same motto goes for this show. Even the location for the show has to be BIG, because the Lone Star Expo Center at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds proved again that it can handle the over 1,900 pre-registered cars/trucks that showed up this year.

The tale we are here to pass on today, however, is the story of his 1965 C10 affectionately known as Busted. Catfished… Kinda When Weaver initially found this Chevy online from a man in West Virginia, you might be able to say he had been slightly catfished by what he got… a.k.a. the truck may not have been the gem that he expected at the time to begin transforming. Let’s go ahead and list…
