ON THE COVER:

With all the high-dollar C10s

being built these days, it’s hard

to pick which ones make it on our

cover. But every once in a while,

there’s one that deviates slightly

from the norm and gets a second

look from us. Mostly due to the

color combo and wheel choice

(maybe the Corvette dash),

Shawn Sipers has one of those

trucks. Photo by Grant Cox.
