Found a box of my old car magazines while I was digging through the work room and it got me thinking about renewing a subscription to Chevy High Performance. Great magazine that covers a lot, but they typically stick with the car market more than trucks. What are some of your favorite automotive related magazines that you read?

4 Wheel & Offroad magazine. Since the advent of the internet much of their content can be found online now...

They still try to sell their mag though with the popup. It has been my experience popups don't sell anything.

The Rodders Journal Greatest thing in print, period.
Car and Driver Mostly for the goofy **** that John Philips comes up with
Street Rodder Premium 2nd greatest thing in print, kind of a poor mans Rodders Journal LOL

Speaking of mags, I think the world needs a squarebody only magazine, with something for all of us in it. Finding coverage of squares in 4x4 magazines is like finding hens teeth, I guess they figured its all been done already right?

For years I had a subscription for Super Chevy, it was my favorite. I've also had Chevy High Performance, Car Craft, Hot Rod, Car & Driver, Four Wheeler, Off Road, 4 Wheel... and likely a couple I'm forgetting. Now I just get Hot Rod and Car & Driver. I'd like to still get them all, but that's just too many coming in (I never throw them out).

Now I like to buy the old magazines (80's mostly) at the swap meets.

I have boxes of old Chevy High Performace, and Super Chevy. Those were my 2 favorites. I also have some Hot Rod and Car Craft from back in the day.

Custom Classic Trucks normally has some good articles on squarebodys. American Truck is produced by a former editor of CCT + LMC and theyve had 2 good issues so far. Street Trucks, Popular Hot Rodding, and Hot Rod Deluxe are also on my list that I pick up from time to time.

Custom classic trucks, and street trucks. One of my favorite ones was sport truck but they decided to stop printing them.

I used to get the American Truck magazine and loved it. First issue I saw was a complete technical write up on changing all your cabs rubber pieces and just fun **** to do on weekends. Most the trucks were square bodies with the exception of a classic 67 (I think) chevy truck that was beautiful. Perfect balance and great reading.

I could never find it again after I got my second issue.

I would kill for a Cuda.:gunner::biggun:

X2. Had a triple black hemi cuda come across barrett-jackson a few years ago.:driver:

I'd give 077's little wee-wee for one. He gave a nut for a gto in the salvage thread. Then I think C4 gave the other one for a truck. Soooo.

I wouldn't mine having a Cuda, but damn sure wouldn't kill for it. I do know a couple of GM vehicles I'd kill for. Of course I couldn't like the person to much.

I'd rather have the SCTA capable BARRAcuda that Troy Trepanier built for George Poteet a while back myself....
