Let me know what they're worth to ya. -Jason 1 Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Pretty sure I have an issue of minitruckin with that truck featured in it. Early 90's build. Would be a very cool truck even today IF you painted it a little different. Might just have to lose the graphics. Jason 1 Quote Link to comment

1lo620 Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I see them every once in awhile on trucks. If i see some I let you know... 1 Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 If i remember correctly, those wheels were only available in 84-86 and then only on the ST(sport truck?) models. I think it was mostly a trim package and wheels. I have seen a couple of very nice factory steering wheels on the ST models also. Might have been leather, and a little smaller than the standard models. Jason 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Come on Dave, stop holding back....I wanna see the black choptop :D 1 Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Its not black if your talking about the one that you sold me the tranny for. it was white with flames, And there are pics of it all over. it was at canby last year. And it is in the process of being redone, probly wont be done complete until late 08. Money is an issue right now. I am going to try to sell my Lowrider to fund the chop top. SO if anyone is looking for a featured (lowrider magazine) Isuzu full juice, rodeo front end tropper brakes,(4 wheel disc) custom interior on and on. $5500 well over $20000 invested. 74000 original miles.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey guys, just bringing this post forward. I'm still looking for most of those magazines listed. Help if You've got them available. There are a few changes to that list so let Me know if any of those are lying around in Your way!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 My list is shrinking. Not many needed now, but still a few. Any of You guys find any old mags lying around since this last post? Please email Me with Your extras. I pretty much only need very hard to find and rare copies now though. The common or late issues I already have. On My need list: Ultra Truck (by Truckin' magazine) 1985 through 1988 issues Mini Truckin' 1988/89 Vol 2 #1 1988/89 Vol 2 #2 1989 Vol 3 #1 1991 March Odd issues hit & miss looking for Pickup, Van & 4WD 1971 through 1979 18 issues 1001 Truck and Van ideas 1975 through 1980 or 81 Travelin' Vans, Pickups and Mini Trucks 1976 through 1979 Street Truckin' 1978 on Sport Trucking 1980 on Street Trucks #1, #2, #3 and #9 Have all the rest.

Thanks!! steroid620@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Oh yeah.................... This is what a 30+ year collection of EVERY KNOWN magazine with a mini truck photo looks like!!! There are still aproximately 8 to 10 more computer boxes of magazines besides these. That is because the ones I refrence frequently or are scanning are on My bookshelf in plastic organizers. About 5 of the boxes shown are extra magazines that will someday be listed on ebay. My Japanese magazines are elsewhere also in plastic so they are not shown in this photo. I also own all service manuals and owners manuels as well as about 60 ads and a few brochures. Now you see what keeps Me out of trouble!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Weaver Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have a small collection of Truckin' and Mini Truck magazines that I bought at a yard sale for $1. 1983-1985 Mini Truck 80s and 90s Truckin' and a few various others (Pickup, Van & 4WD, Hot Rod, etc...) It's a goopd resource for repair procedures and design ideas. 2 Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I thought I would take a minute to tell You guys about this project. First off... A lot of collectors start a collection and become "obnoxious" after a while. I truly hope that I never, ever come across that way to any of You guys. This collection is more than a passion. It is the only way that I know of to preserve HISTORY. Yes, I could say "look what I have" or "I have it and You don't". A lot of collectors get like that. But face it, this is NOT a priceless baseball card or coin collection. They are magazines!! But they are ALL THAT IS LEFT of an era. If somebody doesn't take on this project, future generations will never know what was done with mini trucks. Take the Japanese magazines for example. If I had not began to track them down, purchase them, scan and then post the photos, We would never have known about the "U model", fourdoor trucks and raritys such as the Chevy Luv wagons. History like that. It is My sincere desire to get these magazines, all the memoribilia that I found and saved, and anything else related to what WE LOVE in a secure, safe environment. I am collecting them all to share and pass on to others for years to come ANYTHING that was ever done mini truck-wise. It is a pleasure to share with You all and hopefully I will be able to do so for years to come. Not many have realized the historic aspect of mini trucking so I decided to take it on while magazines are still affordable and available. As this project drews finally to completition, You guys will know that all has been done to preserve years and years as well as the efforts of many that built trucks and enjoyed them. The other aspect is ACCURACY. With what has been found and archived, there is no misconception on who made an accessory, how to spot the difference from others, where they were sold and for how much. This is very important. I hope to never come across as a "wise guy" or a "know it all". I have said in other threads that if I can not verify something giving an issue date and page number if You don't believe My claims, then I will say "I'm not sure" or "I don't know". This is what archiving is all about. Accuracy. Finally, as I have met a few of You in person and on here, It has been very cool to point out what was done long ago. Tracking down old leads and friends from the past has been incredible! Making new friends too! We are very fortuniant to have such a cool hobby! It is up to US ALL to preserve it and make it just as cool for the "newbies" that will want facts and information years from now. So there it is............. did I keep it under a minute??? Talk to You later, I've got to go check the mail!!! ANOTHER MAGAZINE!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I love My magazines! ! ! See, this is why!!!!!!! Yes, THIS was built in the 70s............ and neither You or I would have ever believed it unless We saw it!! Another magazine find!!!!! Now You can see what You can do to a 320 that is rusted out on the lower body!!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Ok how bout a pro street 620 ? from the summer 90 issue... I would like to make me a one piece front end, but I would still want hood access.
