Drop in some creative background slides and you have a terrific color spread); Mickey’s Minnie (Truckin‘s staff dropped by the local Mickey Mouse orginazation for a look-see at one fine customized GMC S-15, which is part of Disneyland’s Videopolis display. Check out this custom four-by); Havasu River Run ’86 (Every spring, the Arizona F-100s Ltd., get together with the guys from Pick Ups Ltd. Westminster for one heck of a party.

Cherokee also is known for his fire-water concoction called “ice tea”); Low 4×4 (You might want to take a double look at this lowered Chevy S-10 because there is actually a four-wheel driveline hiding underneath this weed-eater. He’s talking about raising it…sometime); Bed Comfort Kit (It can get pretty rough going when you have to sleep in the bed of a truck – unless you just happen to have one of these easy-to-install padded and carpeted bed kits) Departments – Editorial; Readers’ Rap; Shop Manual; Ford Folio; Van Scan; Just Mini Truckin’; Truck Stuff; Guest Editorial; Book Review – Paint; Readers’ Rides; Catalog Corner; Happenings
