CRUZIN MAGAZINE #285 / HOT ROD HAULERS #6
East bound and down… welcome to another Hot Rod Haulers special edition!
A stunning cover car this month in the form of David ‘Chub’ Townsends’ 1938 Ford pickup, built to a show-class finish with a go-hard attitude, thanks to a six-pack of carbs on a big block Chevy! Also, a truck of a different nature, a rare (for Australia) Mercury M-100, which now serves as a shop rig for the team at Pacific Quick Change.
But that’s not all (and never will be!). How about a four-cylinder Mercuirser-powered Model A closed cab, a home-brew Hemi-powered ’44 Ford pickup, and one very classy ’54 Chevy. We also spotlight a ’39 Willys gasser from the past, check out the truckin stars of the Grand National Roadster Show in the USA, and head to an Aussie pickup round-up on the Queensland Sunshine Coast. There is a little tech in this issue as well, with some tips and tricks on aging timber for your pickup bed.
We also check in to see how the Big Knob ’34 roadster performed at the recent DLRA SpeedWeek, ogle the action at Port Road Drags and the Bainesse Hop in NZ, revisit the sultry artworks of Claudia Hek, tune into all-gal group The Surfrajettes, and Alan Barton reimagines a classic scale model kit.
