The Fall 2026 issue of C10 Builder’s Guide is all about horsepower, creativity, and the trucks that keep pushing the C10 scene forward. Leading the charge is Boosted & Draggin’, a wicked 1960 Chevy packing serious power under the hood and earning its place on this year’s Performance Special Issue cover. Inside, you'll find an incredible mix of builds, including Sexual Chocolate, a beautifully preserved time capsule that proves great style never goes out of fashion, and Swapped & Dropped, a diesel powered C10 that breaks the mold in all the right ways. Fans of clean squarebodies will appreciate Clara, a stunning lady in red, while Layin’ Low showcases Jonathan Forrest’s Duramax powered squarebody that perfectly blends modern performance with classic Chevy lines.
This issue also brings readers to two standout events with coverage from Orange Beach Invasion and Lone Star Throwdown, capturing some of the best trucks and enthusiasts from across the country. For those looking to improve their own projects, the C10 Performance Guide is packed with ideas and upgrades to help get more out of your build, while Project Rocky Goes Low follows the latest chapter in transforming one well known truck. Whether you love patina, performance, show trucks, or street driven classics, this issue delivers plenty of inspiration and practical knowledge for every C10 enthusiast.
