May/June 2017 Vintage Truck

NEW ISSUE - The May/June 2017 issue of Vintage Truck magazine will be available in subscriber mailboxes and on newsstands soon. Our cover is a 1958 Dodge D100 Sweptside. As amazing as it is to find a rare and highly sought-after collector truck, it is even more amazing when someone walks up and offers to sell you one. That is just what happened to 4X4 collector Marc Minarik when he was enjoying the 2012 Muscle Cars at the Strip show (formerly Mopars at the Strip) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the time, it was owned by Bobby Smith of Mocksville, North Carolina, who restored it and won many Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) awards with it. The Chevy is now on permanent display at the Keystone Truck & Tractor Museum in Colonial Heights, Virginia.
