Heckman is the proud owner of this Russet colored 1977 step side. Mark purchased
this truck new in January of 1977 for $5200. But, like most of us, plain wasn't good
enough for Mark. So, in 1996 Mark began a detailed list of modifications that would set
his truck apart from all others.
The frame has been sanded, smoothed, painted, and dropped 6" closer to the
ground. The body has been shaved, smoothed, and sprayed with Russet metallic lacquer
and "ghost" flames. Open the hood and you're greeted by tons of shiny
stuff that is all atop a 350 bored .030 over, and stuffed with components from Crane,
Isky, and Comp Cams to name a few. On top of the polished Edelbrock intake sit two
500 CFM carburetors.
Mark's truck, nicknamed "Preshus," rolls on a set of Billet Specialties
wheels inside BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Mark's truck is currently featured on TruckWorld.com
and will be in a upcoming issue of Super Chevy magazine. Thanks for the picture
Mark.
 Dustin Cross sent
us this shot of his 1974 GMC 3/4ton. A 454 is stuffed under the hood of this
two-tone GMC. Dustin's truck also has A/C, factory tachometer, and a wood bed.
Dustin's is also the first GMC to be posted on the site. Where are all the
others? Thanks for the picture Dustin.
 Bert Boot sent us this picture of his 1973
Suburban all the way from Amsterdam. You'll notice that even though this is a
foreign Burb, the steering wheel is on the left side of the truck. That's because it
was imported directly from California!
According to Bert, he has been able to keep it looking so nice because he has scored
paint and preservatives from his job with the Amsterdam Tram Company. Bert's Burb is
equipped with electronic ignition, a 350 V8, and is powered by Earth gas instead of
gasoline. Bert says that he loses a few horsepower by running Earth gas, but saves
money.
Next time we want to whine about the price of gas in the states, remember this, it
costs $3.90 per gallon in Amsterdam! (For more information on Earth gas, email
Bert at primadeluxe@hotmail.com.)
 Max Verner sent us this shot of his Camouflage
1984 K30. The Camo crusader is powered by a 6.2 liter Diesel. To add some
ground clearance on the trails, the K30 has a 4" Trailmaster suspension lift, double
Trailmaster steering damper, and rolls on 35" BFGoodrich tires. In the bed
you'll find a Smittybilt double roll bar, spare wheel on a special stand, and a Prorunner
net instead of tailgate. Up front Max has added a homemade push bar to the nose of
his K30. Thanks for the picture Max!
 JK sent us a picture of his other truck.
This time of his 1979 Camper Special. The truck shows 186,000 miles on the odometer
and is powered by a 400 small block backed by a 400TH transmission. The tranny
is hooked to an NP203 transfer case that sends the power to a 10 bolt front axle and 14
bolt full-floating rear axle wearing factory 16.5 X 8.25 wheels. The creature
comforts that have made this an enjoyable 186,000 miles include power steering, tilt
steering, power brakes, power windows, and air conditioning. Thanks for the picture
JK.
