Vintage Trucks Article

[tristan]

I decided to strike a blow for the 1969-72 Blazer/Jimmy nation as I am tired of all of the vintage 4X4 media attention being hogged by Broncos, Jeeps and even Scouts. I wrote and photographed a feature article on the restoration of my 1971 Jimmy that is being published in the May/June issue of Vintage Truck, now available on newstands everywhere. If you get the newstand version my truck is shown at the top of the cover and the article appears on pp. 14-18.

Some of you know my Jimmy as "Project Checkbook" on the Projects and Builds forum. I called the article "A Second Life for the Ochre Ogre." The editors of VT did a nice job for me as the article includes 15 or so color pictures to accompany the text. I hope that the article will help to get our vehicles equal public attention with their competitors from back in the day.
