DEPARTMENTS ON THE COVER:^ Although its clean paint and
straight sheetmetal are not junkyard-
themed, Wyatt Barry’s super-clean 1974
C20 makes use of all sorts of scrounged
parts, from the Olds 455 big-block engine to
the homebrew 1-ton front axle and more. It
was captured perfectly by ace cameraman
Harry Wagner.
