From the Editor: When we hit print on a new issue of Drive, it’s always a chance to spotlight killer craftsmanship, creative builds, and the people who pour heart and soul into these classic machines. This one’s no different. Our cover feature, “Dime Piece,” is a true neck-snapper, a bagged and body-dropped ‘99 S-10 with shaved everything and a clean-as-hell engine bay. Props to David Pavich for seeing this vision through and building a true head-turner that’s still cruised hard. On the event front, our Lone Star Throwdown recap covers one of the biggest custom shows in Texas. Whether it was full-blown show trucks or patina’d cruisers, this show had it all. And trust us, next year, you’re gonna want to be there. Rounding things out is a stunning take…

SOME GUYS BUILD TRUCKS TO STAND OUT. OTHERS BUILD ‘EM to bring back a piece of the past. For Byron Morgan, his 1974 Chevy C10 Cheyenne Super is more than just clean lines and slick paint—it’s a tribute to his wife’s uncle and a deep love for classic squarebodies. This ride’s not just a showpiece—it’s a full-on frame-up revival that took three years and $75K to finish. Built in Rigby, Idaho, Byron didn’t cut corners. He wanted it right, and he made sure every bolt, bushing, and bracket was touched, swapped, or restored. “Every nut and bolt on this truck was replaced and done in my shop,” he says. This ride’s not just a showpiece—it’s a full-on frame-up revival that took three years and $75K to finish. BUILT TO CRUISE,…
GET READY TO FEEL THE ground quake because Lone Star Throwdown didn’t just roll through Texas—it shook it to its core. This isn’t some laid-back, pop-the-hood Sunday cruise-in. This is LST—the wildest, loudest, most unapologetically hardcore truck show on the map. We’re talking frame-dragging lows, tower-scraping highs, billet-shining clean, and everything in between. And when Mother Nature tried to crash the party with a little Texas rain? We cranked the RPMs and rolled even harder. The fairgrounds in Conroe transformed into a truck lover’s playground, packed bumper-to-bumper with insane custom rigs. From bagged and body-dropped street slayers scraping pavement, to lifted titans flexing sky-high on 28s and beyond, it was an all-out visual overload. But let’s be real—the C10s stole center stage. These aren’t just trucks—they’re rolling testaments to passion…
EVERY NOW AND THEN, A truck build comes along that hits differently. Not just because of the parts bolted on or the paint sprayed down, but because of the story behind it. That’s exactly the case with David Pavich’s 1972 Chevy C10, better known in the scene as “Dimebagged.” The journey started like a lot of ours— scrolling classifieds, chasing leads, and dreaming of the perfect project. David finally struck gold in Alpharetta, Georgia, when he found a clean two-tone C10 that stopped him in his tracks. The color combo was killer, but seeing it in person made it real. As it rolled off the trailer, David knew this wasn’t just another truck; it was the truck. But like any real build story, things didn’t go smoothly right off the…
DOWN IN THE HEART OF the Rio Grande Valley, there’s a tradition unlike any other—every build gets baptized with a name. And once again, Cesar Tijerina has made sure his latest creation stands out with more than just its jaw-dropping looks. Meet “Color Blind,” a name that started as an inside joke among friends and quickly became a badge of honor for one of the most impressive C10s to roll out of deep South Texas. This isn’t your average shop truck. It’s a 1968 original short-wheelbase C10 that went from a bare frame to a full showstopper in just four months. That’s right—Cesar and his team touched every nut, bolt, weld, and panel in a whirlwind timeline that most wouldn’t dare to attempt. But for Cesar, it was just another…
