Street Trucks May 2023

THE TIME IS NOW! If you’re a hard-core fan of Street Trucks and you consume every bit of content we create, you know that we recently spent a weekend re-coating our garage floor as a weekend-warrior project to take a break from the nonstop noise surrounding this 30-year-old brand. For the last five years, I’ve been aggressively evolving Street Trucks from a primarily printed product to a diverse digital experience. Sure signs of success are a full inbox on every outlet imaginable and a skyrocketing graph of traffic on every analytics report available. So what do we do when we find a secret to success? We spread the love! So here’s the concept: All of our brands—including Street Trucks, Diesel World, Tread, C10 Builder’s Guide, F-100 Builder’s Guide, EV Builder’s…

WHEN IT COMES TO TURNING A BUILD IDEA FOR AN OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY SHOW VEHICLE INTO A SHOW-STOPPING, FINISHED PRODUCT, THERE’S USUALLY A STRUGGLE IN FINDING THE RIGHT SHOP TO TURN YOUR IDEAS INTO REALITY. Fortunately for Cameron Bishop from Phoenix, finding the right shop was easy. Cameron owns and operates Cuttingedge Hotrods and Fabrication, so getting the exact work done he needs isn’t a problem. There have been close to a million C10 builds over the years, but Cameron wanted something different, something that fit a style that he’s always liked. Cameron always loved Group 5 special-production race cars of the ’70s and ’80s and wondered what a classic truck would look like if Group 5 had a truck class. He picked up a 1972 Chevrolet C10 and began brainstorming about…

ONCE KNOWN AS THE OAKLAND ROADSTER SHOW, THE GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW NOW ENTERS ITS 73RD YEAR AS THE LONGEST-RUNNING INDOOR CAR SHOW IN THE WORLD.

Vehicles park between buildings as part of the show, making the walk fun and entertaining for all. This year’s amazing collection of America’s Most Beautiful Roadster contenders made it hard for the crew at this event to crown the 2023…

I told my mom that someday I wanted to make my S-10 look like something I was seeing in all the magazines. She pushed me to do so, and I promised her that I would get here one day. THE OLD SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU WALK IS AN ACCURATE SENTIMENT IN THE WORLD OF AUTOMOTIVE CUSTOMIZATION. Most truck fanatics get their first taste for personalizing during their teenage years with an inexpensive, entry-level pickup (most likely a mini-truck). Many of us on staff started with one, and a few of us still have them to this day. From simple and easy bolt-ons to much more extensive modifications, there’s so much to be made of these “starter” trucks. Jason Medina of Deltona, Florida, can relate to this…
