it was also on the cover of a Truckin issue with all the best minis from those old days. I have the magazine, but no way to upload a pic of it except to take a digital pic of it which never works too well.

I think alot of people make claims of "remembering" it or "having" the issues, but they really dont, if its so great and everyone has the issue....why hasnt anyone ever scanned it?

I personally have never seen the truck, and really would like to see what all the buzz is about.

Take one anyway. Put the magazine on a white surface, and point the flas away from the glossy cover. It works fine. I've done it.

Ballistic was owned by Pat Nichols...the truck was one of the 1st b/d'd trucks out.I'm not so sure it was the 1st though. Not sayin it wasn't though. I have the issue somewhere in storage myself...the Truckin issue was a HotMinitrucks pictorial issue if I remember correctly. I have that somewhere as well. I also heard the stories that it ended up part in dumpster and part hangin on a shop wall due to the fact he didnt want any1 else to own it not sure but it deffinatly was/still is a badass truck even by todays standards.
