Cool read, thx! Think they could've done better with the pics but hey, that's just me.

Ken: Congrats!
Not only have you put together a visually stunning truck, I bet your face hurts when you get out of the drivers seat, from the ear to ear grin you wear the whole time you are driving it!!
They say heroin is addicting, but that's because they have never tried adrenalin!!

:)
....but I kind of think heroin may be cheaper! lol

Well done!
James

I agree! I thought it was just me. I've only seen the online version (haven't gotten my lazy butt to the bookstore to buy the magazine yet), but their photography doesn't do justice to that beautiful truck.

I agree that they could be better, but with many magazines it is now the owner's responsibility to provide the photos and sometimes even the story for the feature (or have someone do it for them). So they aren't necessarily taken by a pro, and I don't suspect the magazine sent out a staff photographer.

Nevertheless, a unique build and great looking truck, congrats Castruck!

Guys Wes is associate editor for magazine.
He shot All pics and wrote the article from info I provided.
He was very interested in the chassis but they don't shoot chassis pics for magazine for some reason.
Anyway thanks for all the response
Cas will See you all at SS.

I agree, the full body pics don't even do the paint on Cas justice.
In the sunlight that shade of blue just Glows!!!
Got to thank Ken for the long ride in Cas to the Icecream Stand and the Museum.
Also from the hotel to Altoona Palooza. That is one cool and very fast ride!

I am guessing as to why they don't shoot the chassy.

Maybe it is so if there is not something entirely road worthy it prevents the owner from getting in trouble for it.

I don't know, just thinking out loud.
