Taking things to the extreme, Ricky Holly's C10 set the bar high when he unveiled it on our cover of issue 12. Mind to Metal in Houston delivered on their promise to build an amazing frame using 2x4-inch boxed rails and a wild four-link cantilever airbag rear setup. Twenty-two and twenty-four-inch Bonspeed wheels provide the rolling stock with Toyo tires on each corner. The paint is custom yet classic with realistic chrome airbrushing wrapping the truck. A completely-dressed LS1 powers the C10 and a wild interior complete with custom dash, seats, console and audio system round out the modifications. Combining late model technology with a classic truck style is why we can't get enough of Ricky's latest ride.

Setup flawlessly in a traditional, yet hot-rod style, this '56 F-100 is a beautiful example of building a classic truck the right way. Using a tubular steel frame from TCI and coilovers, not airbags, the '56 was built to handle with the best of them. Polished Boyd Coddington wheels, wide BFG meats, and Wilwood big brakes add to the performance of this classic Blue Oval. Under the hood lies a blueprinted Ford 460ci big-block with all the goodies and opening the doors reveals a cab filled with leather and billet. Simple, beautiful, and one of the finest Ford's you'll see, Steve and Becki outdid themselves by not overdoing their truck.

A fact we can't get over about this '71 Chevy Blazer with '67 front sheet metal is 140. There are over 140 body mods on this rolling metal sculpture. From the insane roadster work, to the front windshield, to the doors and rear fenders, to the top of the flat hood, this Chevy has it all. It sports a clean two-tone paint scheme, big Billet Specialties wheels, and Baer big brakes. Best of all, there's a GM Performance Parts 572ci big-block under the hood that is ready to run. Peeking inside showcases an interior that features an all-steel fabricated dash, multiple monitors, and an awesome audio system. All in all, this Blazer has us dreamin' of Southern California cruisin'.
