Yes it is 12V.

Magazines, well what do you plan to do with it?

Vintage Truck is great if you are going original, or would like to see some original style trucks, especially flat decks.

Classic Trucks and Custom Classic Trucks are similar and published by the same company. Both are examples of modern magazines that are as much about advertizing as showing tech articles and feature trucks. Classic Trucks is by now way only meant for stock trucks, in fact they rarely have much in it on stock trucks. They have had some great articles on upgrading brakes, steering, drivetrains, interiors. Custom Classic Trucks show a bit more of the wild side, such as chopping tops.

I subscribe to both Vintage Truck and Classic Trucks, and usually look at Custom Classic Trucks on the newstand to see if there is much in it worth buying.

I found another great source of information is to order a few of the catalogs from the different vendors. This will give you an idea of what is reproduced and what is not. Also some of the catalogs have a few tech articles with them.
