ALL I WANTED WAS A V-8
Wrapped in a sleek black paintjob, Steve Owens' '61 Ford F-100 features suspension from a '95 Corvette and a 460 big-block mill.

NEW-ERA MUSCLE
This new Dodge Ram was transformed into a Super Truck by the legendary Mr. Norm Kraus-and you can have one of your own!

HEADCASE
Nelson Zapata's '93 Mazda B2200 was built not once but twice. After a nasty collision, the truck was made even nicer than before.

HAND-ME-DOWN
This '94 Chevrolet Silverado Stepside was a hand-me-down from Brady Beard's dad. Instead of thrashing it, Brady showed some respect and built it into a showpiece.

MEAN GREEN
It took DeJuan Taylor 26 years to build up his '58 Apache from a $75 pile of parts. It debuted at the Grand National Roadster Show and pulled the Second Place trophy in its class.

SPIT SHINE FOR AN OLD CLUNKER
Engine restoration that's light on the wallet and easy on the eyes. So grab some spray paint and tin foil, because it's time to freshen up under the hood.

ROLLING IN STYLE
If you have a new truck and want to add some security and good looks to the bed area, then check out this story on Pace Edwards' Bedlocker.

A RECIPE FOR MPG
In this time of high gas prices, nobody in their right mind would install high-performance parts... except us. To our surprise, not only did we see power gains, we got more mpg.

TOOL OF THE MONTH: PULSETECH'S XTREME CHARGER
The Xtreme Charger has the power to bring batteries back from the dead, literally.

WORKING AT THE TRUCK WASH
This is part one in a three-part series on how to detail your truck. This story covers the basic hand wash with Meguiar's products.

MIND OVER METAL
Check out how the crew at Scott's Hot Rods transforms flat sheets of metal into some really bitchen parts.

BE AN INTERNET SUPER HERO
The Motorsports Hero color video camera from GoPro is small, self-contained, and takes video and still photos at a price most of us can afford.

SECURITY WITH STYLE
Snugtop's Super Sport shell is a smooth-sided fiberglass cap that not only looks great but also added a huge amount of lockable storage to our Tundra project.

PEARLS OF WISDOM
We scoured Sport Truck's archives and dusted off some of the best tech tips to appear since the magazine's inception-and we added a hot blonde to make them even better.

TOO FFF'N WILD
The Forbidden Fantasy Show 'n' Shine was held at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds, in Perris, California. There were 634 vehicles, and one lucky raffle contestant won a full-custom, '87 Toyota extended-cab SR5 turbo.

3-DAY RUN FROM THE BORDER
The 3rd Annual Tex Mex was a sight to behold with activities like the Mini Trucker Olympics, which featured the Beer Chug, Cowboy Golf, and the Drunken Tricycle/Razor Scooter Races.
