The Spring 2026 issue of C10 Builder’s Guide celebrates the passion, heritage, and horsepower that define the C10 community. This season’s cover story, SLMD64 C10, follows Tony and Anthony Leal a father son team whose shared project became much more than a build. Together they crafted a show-stopping ’64 and created a lifetime bond in the process.
Inside, the issue kicks off with Venom, a feature that proves what doesn’t kill you only fuels the fire. From Shawn Parsons’ clean and classic Yellow Bag ’65 to Rob Green’s brutish Dirty30 wrecker, the lineup highlights creativity across generations of Chevy steel. Fans of bold personality will love Double Trouble, spotlighting the Ambriz duo’s Thing 1 & Thing 2, while Loosy, a ’69 C10 built for street aggression, brings rowdy energy to the mix. Rounding it out, Slowpoke takes the “low and slow” mindset literally with style to spare.
This issue also features the C10 Holiday Shopping Guide, packed with parts and gift ideas for every truck lover. Tech enthusiasts get hands-on with a modern LS intake upgrade in Project Rocky, and show coverage from Los Chevroleteros 2025 brings heat straight from Mexico’s vibrant truck scene.
With legacy, lifestyle, and plenty of horsepower on display, Issue 41 delivers everything C10 fans love past, present, and future.
