SEMA 2016
Reno Heon. Episode #56 is brought to you by these kick ass sponsors - support those that support you. www.brotherstrucks.com - Your #1 source for 1947-87 Chevy and GMC restoration parts. www.classicperform.com - What’s stopping you? - Use “C10TALK” code and save 10% off your entire purchase. www.dakotadigital.com - Is it time to replace those faded original gauges? Check out there VHX and new HDX series gauges. www.azproperformance.com- Are ready to upgrade from stock, AZ Pro has your upgrade options covered. www.royalpurple.com - When you demand maximum performance! Hell Ya! We were able to sit down with Reno Heon from AccuAir at SEMA 2016. The guys from AccuAir set up a small recording studio just of of their show room display and it worked. It worked perfect. Reno and I were siting right next to each other - really, like 4-6 inches and we had a great time getting the C10 Nation caught up on everything going on with The Leader in Air Suspension. AccuAir just released their brand new ENDO-T, ENDO- VT, and coming Spring/Summer 2017 their new ENDO-CVT will be available to all of us! Reno and I talk about the history of the company. From the first few employee’s they had and how most of them are still with the company 15 years later. It hasn’t always been easy! Reno talks about some o f the struggles they had in the beginning and working with family. Reno admits that a ton of hard work, great timing, and some luck has helped his company prosper into what is now 15 years later the industry leader in Air Suspension. But admits that their customers are also such a big part of their success. Using AccuAir on their builds, promoting the products and being such loyal customers. By day 4 of SEMA, Reno knows that the reaction to their new ENDO system is beyond well received by the masses. Their booth was popping all week in anticipation for the products. Scott Lattinen from SicChops was in the booth this year with their killer 62 Suburban, converted to Blazer - “Overcast”. Damn Son! Reno, dives into the specifics of the ENDO, talking about the tank and its capacity, the R&D that went into if and how it is DOT approved. The ENDO-VT, which is the new tank with the valves integrated into the new aluminum tank. The values are split, 2 on each side how ever the end user chooses. We talk a lot about the new ENDO - CVT, which will be a compressor inside the tank along with the internal valves. So Rad Ass! Multiple questions about the new system arise from so many variables:
How much air will the tank be able to hold if there is a compressor inside? -What about moisture inside of the unit? -How fast will the compressors work? -What’s new about the valves - “Flow Control”? -How much is all of this going to be? -Can I build it as I go? -Can I use my old elevel? -What is the draw from the compressor? Reno answers them ALL! Reno reflects on SEMA 2016. -Proud! -Thankful! Are the two words that come to his mind! I am sure exhausted is in there too. We start to wrap up and Reno talks about what the future holds for AccuAir and air suspension. Reno, Dustin and the team have no plans of slowing things down. They have big ideas and just the team to make it happen. Their marketing team, behind Ben Terry continues to push the envelope and bring us the much desired interactive videos, tech, and up to date information. The future looks bright for this company and I was honored to sit down with Reno at SEMA to get the story. Thank you AccuAir for taking the time to give us the story.
Reno, Dustin, Ben, Derek, Lefty, Taylor - the entire staff, we appreciate your time. Ronnie

Ok lets jump right into the second half of the Brothers Truck interview with Steve and Jim Flanders. "Microwave Society" and the Amazon effect. How the hell can any company keep up with what people expect? Remember when stuff used to take 4-6 weeks to be delivered? Remember when we would have to take our film to be delivered and it would take a week. 1 hour was a total upgrade. What is the biggest change they have seen in the last 5-20 years? The new Brothers website? NOS parts vs. Reman'd parts? How have the aftermarket parts changed since you started? Value vs. Quality? Best price is NOT always best deal! Social Media and how it's effected your company and business? TV shows and working with Sam's garage PowerNation and Motorhead Garage. Do you have an in house studio? What do you use it for? What current projects do you have going on currently? When is your busiest time of year? Is there a large demand outside of the states? How about shipping out of country? Biggest challenges? More Website stuff? Canned beer - lol!! I had a blast doing the interview with these guys. Steve and Jim are truck guys, they made the interview easy and fun. I look forward to doing it again soon, Ronnie

Episode #34 is brought to you by these kick ass companies! What a story! Bryan (Landaburu) is excited to get back into the C10 Game. He grew up around C10 Trucks and his first car/truck was a C10. So he finally finds the C10 for him. After some long negotiations with the owner, they finally come to terms. Bryan is ecstatic, he's just purchased a beautiful 1965 C10. Now the fun part of deciding on how he should get the truck home to Reno, NV. Bryan does a TON of research and finally decides to go with Passport Transport, an enclosed, very reputable carrier. Well, this is where the story takes a twist. During transport, it appears that something happened to the brakes that caused the trailer to catch fire and Bryan's C10 was sitting in the Hot Zone! Tune in to hear what happens next and why after months of frustration and anger, Bryan's story has a very happy ending. Welcome (back) to the C10 Nation, Bryan! In this episode I also talk with Kathy a "Open Transport" Broker, her and her husband also are owner/operators of an open trailer along with Kathy's Broker business, so she provides us with a unique perspective to some common mistakes and Pitfalls to look out for. I also talk with Tanner from Reliable Carriers, he is an Operations Manager with the company. We talk about the benefits to using a closed carrier with a long history of satisfied customers. A lot of great info in this one, I hope you dig it - Ronnie

Episode #30 is brought to you by - Alright Alright!! Who is Chris Stafford (@severdchris) - The Bayou Builder? Chris is a Husband, Father, Builder, Serviceman, and a Blue Collar Mill Worker - thats who he is!! DAMN SON!!!!! You might be familiar with Chris’s 1966 C10 Custom that was recently named the Street Trucks, Truck of the Year!! Wow, congrats and well deserved. Chris tells the C10 Nation how he got interested in cars and trucks - at a young age he would play with Matchbox cars and like most of us, this innocent childhood past time became a lifetime passion! Chris is married and has a young daughter - the “Hotrod Diva!” - His family is in full support of Chris and his passion. Chris is raising his family #C10Strong with that Severed Style. Speaking of Severed, Severed Ties is his other family. Chris tells C10 Talk how he go involved with Severed and why he choose this club over any other. He explains the benefits of being in Severed Ties and we discuss the Club Culture. Chris, has been in the National Guard since High School. He served a tour in Afghanistan, as a Bridge Builder. Spending a year away from his family and 6 months out of Country. When he returned plans changed on ol’ Clyde. Chris’s Uncle was a big reason why he got into Trucks and he had passed away when Chris was away serving his country. Chris’s way to pay tribute to his Uncle was build the truck in his Honor. Clyde (SEMA 2014) became the Sherman Special. Special it was - if you can’t recall this 66 C10 just take a glance at Chris’s Instagram @severdchris and you’ll know exactly why it was on the cover of one of last years C10 Builders Guide and ended up being the Street Trucks TOTY. Chris tells us about two builds that he is getting ready to start as well. a 1959 Apache “Thunder Chief” and a SEMA Squarebody C10 named ‘“Silver Fox” perfect! Chris has big plans for these trucks and we know the C10 Nation will be watching this builder continue to put out killer Stafford Garage rides. He has a recipe that is proven to be popular, so heres to SEMA 2016. We look forward to seeing the Silver Fox and we hope this SEMA build follows in the foot steps of its predecessor Clyde. Thanks Chris for taking the time to sit down with C10 Talk and bringing your story to the C10 Nation. Thank you for your service to our Country and a special thanks goes out to your family for allowing you the time and support to do what you love. Heres to 2016, Cheers bro - Ronnie

Episode #28 Del Uschenko www.delmospeed.com is brought to you by www.brotherstrucks.com Your #1 source for 1947-1987 Chevy and GMC truck parts. And www.accuair.com Your industry leader in Air Suspension Management.
Part 2 with Del!! Well if one episode wasn't enough, now you have another episode to hang with the man himself, Delmo!! It's really crazy when you think about how many builds Del has under his belt. He has been cranking out bad ass builds for years. We don;t talk about them all, but man he has been a force in not only the C10 Movement, really the more of a Resto-movement! We ask Del if he considers himself a Trendsetter? With so many builder and truck enthusiast following his style, does he feel a pressure to continue to put out the best, most cutting edge stuff? Who does Del pull inspiration from and look to for input? With so many builds does Del have a favorite? How about a least favorite? How long does a Del build take? Has he ever turned down a customer? Why? Where does he see the C10 Truck Trends going? How did his relationship with AccuAir come about and what does he think of them? Why does Del NOT have his own truck? Does he want one? Does he think he will just build trucks his way and then sell his trucks to customers, more of a Del brand build vs. Customer build. Why does he feel that his best is his last!! What do Del and Ola like to do in there down time that they do have? What does the future look like for Del? Is he moving? Is there a TV show in his future? And so much more. Del is truly leading the way with his style - Del being Del and we are all benefiting from it. A visionary amongst us who is very humble with his abilities and persona. I am glad that we were able to sit down and catch up. I am glad I can call him a friend. A true class act. Happy New Year C10 Nation, thanks for all of your support over the year - 2015 has been great. Heres to 2016!! Cheers Del, to you and Ola - Have a Happy and Safe New Year, I look forward to the moving party!

Episode #27 This Episode is brought to you by - And We sit down and talk to the Canadian Kid, Del Uschenko - otherwise known as Delmo. Del tells us who his early influence were and how he got into wrenching and customizing cars and trucks. Del started early, his first two trucks were C10's - one a 70's Squarebody and the second a 1963 C10. No wonder him and Dino get along so well. Before Del moved to the States he was wrenching and running his own Hot Rod shop in Canada. He sold that after building some big time cars and headed South. Del tells us that Ola and him sold their houses, along with the shop and loaded up a U-haul and a 1961 Ford Uni-Body and headed South. He knew California had a bitchin car scene so that was the destination. Eventually they ended up in Burbank. From there, Ola, a Nurse found work at the local hospital and Del was going to work on cars. Before opening up his own shop Del worked at the famous Hollywood Hot Rods, although not landing the job on the first try!! You'll have to listen, to hear the rest of that story. While at Hollywood Hot Rods, Del built a KILLER 1965 C10, that was laid out with all the right touches. He created a build thread on the 1967-72 truck forum and the thing took off from there. This build put Del on the map in the C10 world and from there a Star was born. Del and I talk about how far the C10 Nation has come since then. It has become a movement of sorts, from SEMA this year to Dino's Git Down, the C10 Community is thriving and the builds are just getting better. Delmo has built plenty more since the "65 C10" and he has 9 in the shop as of this interview. Del being Del!! Great guy, just doing his thing. We we're glad he is doing his thing, and bringing his style to the C10 Nation, because we love it. Thanks Del.

Marc Mullin grew up in his Dad's shop, working from a very young age. Learning hard work, pride, and so much more. One thing that Marc probably didn't realize was he was learning more about life then in probably anticipated. He was also forming a very tight relationship and bond with his boss, his dad! Over the years Marc and his Dad became best of friends, life was good. Then, like a lot of families some form of health issue takes the ones we love. Marc and his family were not immune to this has his father became ill and eventually passed away. Like a lot of guys this was very hard on Marc and he needed to fill that void. It wasn't easy and is definitely a work in progress, but Marc started a new project - his 1963 C10 Truck. The Shadow is a work in progress that Marc is building from the ground up really and the C10 Nation has jumped on board for the build. Marc swears his dad is with him along the journey and that is what matters. Follow along this episode as Marc takes us on a journey of life and a journey of his truck. He plans on having it done for next years Columbus Goodguys. We wish him the the best of luck and look forward to seeing this thing all done.

Episode #23 Josh Brady This episode is brought to you by, and
In this episode we talk to Josh Brady who is the creator of the 67-72 Chevy Truck Forum. This forum is probably the biggest asset and resource to anyone looking to gain knowledge regarding C10 Trucks. Josh started the forum when he was 14!! Is that crazy or what! When Josh's dad was 13 he bought a 1969 C10 truck and Josh wanted to find out more about the trucks. He couldn't so he created the forum. The response was incredible and Josh had to grow the forum infrastructure to keep up with the data and usage. We talk to Josh about what other trucks he has? Did he end up with the 1969 Truck? How many users does the site have? We discuss competing sites? How has social media like Instagram and Facebook affected the activity of the forum. Does he feel threatened by social media? What are some of the biggest challenge's that Josh has had to face? Is the forum profitable? How big is the forum staff? Are the Admin. and Moderators compensated? Is there confusion regarding the name? Has he ever thought about changing the name? Why he created the other address's to link to the main site - and What has been the most rewarding thing about the forum? What builders does he watch? Where does he see the forum in 5 years, and dies he anticipate any major changes? Getting to know Josh was a lot of fun as I have been a forum member for awhile now and love it! Very cool to find out about how it all started and much. much , more!

Live from Brothers Trucks, 17th Annual Truck Show & Shine. Over 440, 1947-1987 Chevy & GMC Trucks in one show. We talk to people from allover the country - that have driven out to California to attend the Show. One family drove 2200 miles from Ohio to attend the show. They plan their family vacation around the show date. Now that’s AWESOME! Another family, our buddy Ruben Salazar, drove all they way from Houston, Texas with 4 kids in tow! We were able to catch up with Jake Oro, a college student who owns a sweet 1971 C10 that his Dad John Oro (aka the #Johnfather) DID NOT help him buy! He did it ALL on his own!! My favorite interview of the day was Uncle Richard, this young 81 year old shares his story of how he started his restoration on his 1955 Chevy Truck when he was 74 years young. Thats right - 74! “You’re never to old to start!” We talked to a lot of great folks that brought their trucks out, and some were just checking our others rides, either way the atmosphere was a fun family environment that was packed with bitchen trucks. We were able to grab a few of the award winners just after they got their awards, so that was cool since some didn’t really expect to win, while others did! We caught up with John and Marisol the winners of the “Best of Show” award - lets just say that John got a great 35th Birthday present. He was grinning from ear to ear, and rightfully so - well deserved award for this couple and their amazing 1968 C10. Last we catch up with Jim Flanders of Brothers Trucks. We talk about how far the show has come in it’s 17th year and how crazy it seems that 17 years ago Jim and his brother Steve were planning their first show at there shop. One story that Jim shares is about a family that had their daughter right after the Brothers first show and now he knows exactly how many years the show has been running based on his daughters age - crazy cool. This show is like a family reunion for the Brothers Trucks family, friends, and staff. All hands on deck, everyone pitches in and helps, from kids to parents. It’s that kind of show, it’s that kind of company. They like to hold the show for their customers to be able to show off their pride and joy. Its really a way for the Brothers family and staff to not only give back, but see the fruits of their labor and know that on the other end of each order or the phone could be one of these 440 truck builders.
Fun show, good time, great people! Enjoy, Ronnie

Squarebody Syndicate Run to Brothers 2015 “How could you guys be HOT, when you’re driving in trucks so cool!” Ryan B - Canada. What started as just an idea turned into an unforgettable trip with 5 killer Squares and a bunch of friends. We met up in West Phoenix Saturday morning the day before the Brothers Truck Show. We all got on the road around 8am and we were headed West on the I-10, cruising at 75 mph in these 40+ year old trucks. I started off with Sam Castronova first and talked to him about his first Squarebody - his 1973 C10 that he purchased from Joe Yezzi earlier this year. Sam tells us Joe told him it was a cream puff, but then says - not really, it was a piece of crap!! Either way we are rolling smooth at 75 mph without any issues, so either it was a cream puff or Sam got this C10 dialed in just right - it has the right stance with a 4/6 static drop and the sweetest leather seat i could could ask to sit in. Sam and I were having so much fun we literally passed one of the scheduled stops and and really couldn’t turn back around. I was bummed as I was looking to an iced drink, namely a cold Iced Coffee - oh well the guys would never rub it in by sending multiple pictures to us to make sure we knew what we were missing out on!!!! So Sam and I ended up getting to the next stop before everyone else. This stop was one that I don’t think most knew about, but it was at an abandoned Gas/Service station, “Desert Center” - where we would set up to grill some sausage and peppers, drink some refreshments and smoke a few cigars! Yes it was as fun as it sounds. We also left our respectful mark, from a little tagging and decals stuck all over. Another cool story to come out of the stop was Dan Morrow sent a picture of the stop over to his Mom and she recognized the stop and said “that’s Desert Center, we used to stop there when you were a kid!” The truck Dan and his family used to drive out West to Cali, is still in Dan’s possession, a 1978 C20. Very cool story! Next up I jump in with Rob Yezzi and talk to him about the journey, and his sweet Squarebody C10. How he acquired it and what his plans are for this sweet 1973 C10 trucks.
From Rob, I jumped over to Broey’s cool C10 with an even cooler story behind it. This 1975 Squarebody was previously owned by Scott Ivey. Scott Ivey was known for building killer rides, but unfortunately his life was taken way to soon by a drunk driver while he was driving his K5 Blazer. Broey tells us how he too acquired this sweet C10 and what his plans are for the truck are. Trying to keep the right balance of what Scott wanted for the truck and what Broey would probably want to do to it - put it on the ground, as in Porterbuilt - touching those pinch’s! It’s a good problem to have because this original Square will be cool no mater what Broey decides to do to it. Broey and I both probably lost a few pounds doing his recording because it was high noon, and hot. We had to roll up the windows, so we were sweating our ass’s off - the guys behind us were saying they could see us wiping the sweat off with our T-Shirt as we were driving. I ultimately said roll down the windows to get a little flow going through the cab. So, sorry fellas the audio is rough on this segment, but damn son - it was hot as hell!!! Next, I get to hang with Jason Miller. Jason’s 77’ K5 has A/C and damn it feels so good. We are almost into Riverside when I get in with him and we are cruising into Corona at this point. Jason tells us about what is really his daily driver, how he got the Blazer to this point and what all he has done - from all new gaskets from Brothers Trucks, brand new Billet Specialties rims and a rebuilt 350/350 combo. Well all I’ve got to say is Damn Son, this thing looks great and it rides just as good. We arrive into Cali and hang out Saturday night with the C10 Club at the hotel, which really turns into a fun little- hangin with the fellas type night. Up early and head over to the 17th Brothers Trucks Show and Shine show! Check out our next episode as we cover the show with live interviews, and show coverage. We decide to return Sunday night as we fell we all have enough fuel in our tanks, and the trucks are performing just as good, if not better. We grab some grub, and head East in the 10 - the temps are cooler, the traffic is minimal, I think we made the right decision. I jump in with Rob Beasly - aka, Black Rob, aka BLK!! Rob is now driving Sam’s Square, Artie. This was a fun interview because Rob drove a 2015 GMC over to the show and now he’s behind the wheel of one sweet C10 - we are cruising and he gives us a different perspective of the trip over and the trip back. He always brings a unique passion and energy that makes for a great interview. Lastly for the live audio I just finish with the Square “Ambassador” Joe Yezzi. We just had Joe on the show for Episode #16 - but now we are on the tail end of the journey. We get his thoughts on what ends up being a GREAT weekend, 44hrs! We start 0700 Sat morn and we get home around 0200 Sunday Morning. Joe gives us his thought on the Squarebody Syndicate “Run to Brothers,” the Brothers Show, and what he says was the highlight of the weekend. I decided to get a few minutes with Kevin Whipps who was commissioned by Streettrucks to cover the Run to Brothers. Kevin gives us his thoughts and what the journey looks like through a journalist eyes. He sees this continuing to get bigger and bigger as the year go on. He also tells us what was his favorite part of the journey and I was surprised but agree with him - its the little things, but they are sometimes very memorable things. I hope you like it - it was my pleasure and honor to be invited and bring you this time capsule of the first one - I look froward to many more.
Thanks C10 Nation..

Kevin Aguilar and the guys over at Street trucks do such an amazing job not only on the C10 Builders Guide, but the monthy mag.
Bad Cop/Good Cop or was that Bad Cop/Bad Cop?? You tell me? What is the “Run to Brothers”? Why the hell would someone want to drive a 40 year old truck 300+ miles in the middle of summer? Espiecally in Arizona!! Yeah this should be fun - haha. How did it all start for Joe? How did he get into Squarebody C10 trucks? Joe tells us about his Fathers 1973 GMC truck, and how he would ride in it as a kid. What was the first Square Joe ever bought? What happened once he bought it? Why are the “Black Sheep” finally starting to have there day? What has Kevin Stickel @digitalc10 done to the scene? When you open the garage Joe thinks you should feel emotion - why? What other cars, trucks, and motorcycles does Joe fancy? How many Squares has Joe had in his stable at one time? Damn Son!! What trucks are currently at the SquareBody Hacienda? How did “Blue Jay” get its name? What does Joe think about it? Will “Blue Jay”, his SEMA/Porterbuilt build be ready in Nov.? What motor will Blue Jay be running? Blue Jay is the next One-and-Done> What does #yezziclean mean? Joe tells us what a regular guy working in his garage needs to make these trucks look like a 100 point resto. What did Joe and Cousin Rob do in those storage containers? Who doesn’t wash their trucks? Sounds crazy - right!! Why does Joe think Broey nailed it by taking his seat to @dbomb_53? How did Joe come up with such a cool logo and design for SBS? What is Squarebody Syndicate? Why doesn’t he reprint a designs? What did Joe tell his daughter he thought would be the coolest to see in the future? From Gas Money Garage to Dan Aykroid, Squarebody Syndicate is a movement! Squarebody Syndicate is just getting started. Joe is a great guy and not all that removed from that same hard working kid that cam eout to Arizona back in 1992.

Epsiode #15 Brought you by: We catch up with a true original, Mason Wright. Mason commishened Del Ushenko of Delmo Speed and Kustom to build him a RAD C/10. Well he did just that and more. Del and Mason built "Nacho Truck!" One of the sickest C10's around, well over seas now. The journey of this build starts with how Mason aquired the truck south of the border in Tiajuana! Mason and his amigo Jose went 25 miles south of the border to check it out. This is truly one of the BEST "how I bought my truck" stories out there. Part of the story that makes it even crazier is that no one new where the hell Mason and Jose wher going - including them. Lets just say that the adventure got Mason in some hot water at home, but it sure makes for a great story after the fact!! We also talk about what Mason does for a real job, his addiction to Craigslsit and the Real Estate find. Mason has a formula that seems to be working in both C/10's and Real Estate - buy low, make em look bad ass and then sell high! The dude has shown that he can do it too - walking away from two of the badest C10's at the top of thier game! Next we talk to Mason about K5 Larry and how it probably ended up being a bigger undertaking then anyone from Mason, Delmo, and Nate (Porter) thought it would be. But they did it - building arguebly one of the sickest Blazer out there. Those rims!! Mason talks about how Del had a plan and they went with it - those time 22/24 are the result. One off's that absolulty took Larry to the moon and back. Del has the "it" factor and Mason has been fortuneate to have him build two rides for him. One of the best parts of the interview is when Mason talks about taking Larry to the Sand Dunes and how guys with $100K sand rails are in awe of this bagged Blazer pulling a trailer out at the dunes! Who wouldn't be? Probably one of the easiest, and funnest interviews that I ahve done. Mason nailed it - I enjoyed just sitting back and listen to him do his thing. Great Guy, building SIC rides. I look forward to seeing what is next for this Califonia kid. I am sure what ever it is it'll be unique!!
Good times bro, had a blast!

Kevin Whipps author of the soon to be released How to restore your 1973-1987 Chevy truck joins us on C10 Talk today. Episode #14 Brought you by - We talk a little Social Media and Kevin whips (no pun intended - haha) out a doozy! “We are all lost, no one knows what we’re doing, we are all just trying to figure it out!” this is why this interview was a lot of fun. Kevin is a very down to earth dude. From Family man, writer, to vintage truck lover. Kevin has it covered - great guy! We find out who Kevin Whipps is? How did Kevin get into writing and marketing? How do you know of Kevin, or should know of him - How long has he been a Street Trucks contributing writer? How have things changed in marking since 1999? Who first Kevin about filling out his Tech form? What happened next landed Kevin a job, what did he do? How did Kevin make the transition from the Import Scene to Trucks? Why did Kevin feel that his skill set wasn’t where it needed to be to do a truck? From writer to full on photographer, Kevin grew along with the industry. Kevin tells us what the difference between the Import Scene/Mini Truck Scene to the C10 Scene? Why is Kevin more comfortable with the C10 Community? How many publications does Kevin write for? Does Kevin get stressed by covering so many different topics? Like all of us - Kevin has some kick ass goals. He shares a few with us, and man do I hope it gets to all of them. I ask Kevin what his favorite C10 shoot was! He not only still wishes he could get his hands on the truck, but is a BIG fan of the builder. Hint - pretty much everyone with a heartbeat is!!! “I love that truck!” Kevin tells us why he thinks authentic patina is so cool and tells a different story everytime. Kevin tells us about his Mom’s Suburban, “Martha” and why he is fond of that era of C10 trucks. What does Kevin mean by “some companies just get it!”? I ask Kevin about what he see’s in the future of the C10 Truck world? From a marketing perspective - how the hell is someone supposed to keep up with so many apps and marketing programs? Kevin explains his methods, and what works for him. Regarding Facebook - “as soon as old people like me start getting into it they don’t what any part of it!” Too funny, well said. Best sound bite of the interview - “The gold rush of social media will kinda die down a little bit.” Does Kevin ever get nervous before a truck shoot? Kevin has been very busy. He has a lot of press in the upcoming C10 Buyers Guide put out by Street Trucks. You’ll have to listen - but we are definitely looking forward to his coverage. Kevin tells us how they find the trucks that they shoot and how you the C10 Talk listener can POSSIBLY get some magazine coverage. Kevin then tells us some BIG news - he has been commissioned by Cartech to put together a “How to restore your 73-87 Chevy Truck.” He has been working with multiple truck builders, including Joe Yezzi from Squarebody Syndicate to get as much information as possible for the publication. His call to action for the C10 Talk listener is to send him pictures, stories, whatever you might have if you are in the middle of restoring a 73-87 Chevy Truck. He is especially looking for paint and body stuff. So if you have anything send it to either ronnie@c10talk.com or kevin@whippsind.com and it will be considered for the manual. Regarding the book, “From soup to nuts” it will be covered in the manual! This was a fun, out of the traditional box interview for us - i dug it, Kevin is a cool dude and I hope to have him on again after the manual is done. Thanks Ronnie

The C10R
Built by Rob & Brandy Phillips of PCH Rods
SEMA 2014, Rob and Brandy unveiled their 3 year project, the C10R. The buzz around this killer C10 was spot on. People couldn’t get enough of the truck, or Rob & Brandy for that matter. But what Rob & Brandy really wanted was one of the 10 remaining spots into the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational. The organizers handed out 9, but what about the 10th “Golden Ticket”?
Well lets just say after a few tears and some laughs Rob & Brandy found themselves right were they wanted to be - behind the wheel of their bad ass C10R at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Since then Rob & Brandy have been on a roller coaster ride - races, interviews, and sponsor promotions - and they wouldn’t have it any other way!
Follow along as we get to know Rob & Brandy a little better!!
A lot of really good press and media around the C10R truck - what are Rob’s thoughts? How about the Drive+ video? How did Brandy perform here at Scottsdale - and is she still nervous? Why are C10 Trucks so popular amongst the Autocross builders? How does a C10 Truck keep up with Cameros, Mustangs, and Corvettes? What suspension company’s are out there for the Autocross Trucks? What front clip (suspension) did PCH Rods choose to use for the C10R and why? Why did Rob choose to go with the same tire/rim combo on all 4 corners? How long does a set of tires last them? How did Brandy feel getting back behind the wheel after a 3 year break from the sport? How does the C10R compare to other Pro-Touring cars she has driven? Do Rob & Brandy have a competitive relationship? Is winning in the Pro-Class Brandy’s main concern? How do Rob & Brandy juggle it all - shop, racing, and family? How did Brandy feel to getting the “Golden Ticket” and how they messed with her? Why is this truck easier to adjust and read then cars that she has driven in the past? Is Rob happy where they are currently with the C10R? How did the C10R get is own reputation? Social Media? Does Brandy’s Marketing background and Rob’s building background make for a PERFECT team? How does someone afford to build an Autocross/Pro-Touring Car or Truck? How did they get companies behind them for sponsorships? How do they take car of the companies that have taken care of them? Where did the C10R logo come from? What does the “R” Stand for? Is the C10R street legal? What is “Automotivation”? Do they give rides at the track? How does someone get started in Autocross? Do they plan on participating in OUSCI this year? What plans does Rob have for his 69 C10 next? What after market products are offered by PCH Rods and Munssey Speed & Design offer?

The second part of our show we were able to hook up with On The Ground Design’s front man Jason Jones. Jason is a big time car/truck/hot rod enthusiast who has built an online media company to connect builders with vendors through multiple facets -
“Our Goal is to bridge the gap between consumers and vendors through authentic story telling”
Jason, like a lot of enthusiast has a lot of passion for the industry and found a creative way to break into the scene, not only with a killer website telling story one by one, but he also did it by building a show stopper - his 1973 F100 that he recently had at SEMA 2014. I have a feeling that we will be hearing a lot more from Jason and OTG Designs in the future. You can find Jason at-
Instagram - @onthegrounddesigns or
It looks like 2015 is going to be a fun and exciting year for both of these companies. We wish all the best. BIG thanks to all of your listeners, we couldn't do it without your support. Happy New Year, and here's to a FANTASTIC 2015!!

Mike Losh - Episode #6 We catch up with this award winning SEMA C10 builder; from how it all started with his Grandpa's 1967 Short bed - “Cloud 9” and how this “garage build” turned into a SEMA, Street Trucks 2012 - TOTY winner. We talk to Mike about his family and how it’s so much more than just him building these killer rides. How the car/truck seen is in Arkansas? How many Cow’s his parents had to exchange for Mike to be able to marry Sarah, Joke! What Mike thinks about the 67-72 truck forum and how the forum probably had the biggest influence on how “Cloud 9” turned out the way it did - AWESOME! How Mike gets the vendor support that he does and how he maintains those relationships. How he went from one SEMA build right into another, and why anyone would want to do that! We talk to him about “Square Peg” and why him and his team went with a Square Blazer? Does he have sellers remorse, as he sold “Square Peg” so soon! Why did he sell it soon? Why it’s more then just driving them - the hunt, the build, the story with Mike and his “AMAZING” team! Whats up next for this team? “Boosted Bertha”! We talk to him about “Boosted Bertha”, her power plant, her suspension, her color, and even her interior. Should be another head turning build by this great team. Mike did not let us down, great guy and a very fun, laughable podcast interview. We’re glad he took the time to hang out with C10 Talk and we look forward to catching up, with him in the future as we do a follow up. Thanks Mike, good time. Special Segment - we start a NEW segment, “Follow that truck”. Where we catch up with Sam Castronova, and talk to him about his 1964 C10 truck - “Dino’s 64”. How he acquired this truck and what BIG plans he has for it this coming January. Follow along as Sam breaks some news to the C10 Talk audience about what’s up for this talented builder. We look forward to featuring Sam in a full feature “builder” episode in 2015!! We wrap things up with announcing who the Jan. 2015 builder will be.
I hope you like it and I hope you have a great Holiday Season, Merry Christmas - Ronnie

C10 Talk Episode #3, Early Classic Ent. Follow along as we catch up with this OG C10 suspension company! We are joined by Stan Hammond of Early Classic, he talks about the history of the company and how they got their start. How Stan and his partner Mark acquired it from the original owner and what it has taken to keep it firing on all cylinders during the downturn in the economy. We find out a little history of that AWESOME 1972 short bed that they build back in the late 90's. "This Old (New) Truck" graced the pages of Chevy Truck Magazine, and I couldn't get enough of that thing. Find out what happened to that truck and the other builds that they had. How did ECE get involved with Stacey David, and Copperhead. Did that truck help establish ECE as one of the premier C10 aftermarket companies? We talk S.E.M.A. with Stan, and how attending the show has its pluses, but sometimes it can be tough as competitors are also lurking. We get a behind the scenes look at what happens during an Overhaulin shot, how tiring it can be, and what it's like working with Chip Foose. What part is their most popular? What part does better then they probably ever thought it would. Do they think LS swaps are a thing of the past or in their prime. Why ECE is excited about AutoCross. Does ECE have a East Coast distributer, or do they just ship direct to consumer. What does Stan see as the biggest changes in the C10 truck scene in the past 20 years and what does the future hold for these trucks. Do they still sell a lot of their C20/C30 conversion spindles? Why they cost more> What ratio do they sell 2/4 drop kits compared to 4/6 kits. Does ECE offer a C-notch? What are Stan's thoughts on them (C-notch). Are their rear trailing arms over engineered, can they handle the HP of the modern LS motor? Does ECE actually have an AutoCross Track onsite or does it just should like in the interview!! What NOS parts do they have a tough time keeping in stock and what would Stan say is the hardest NOS part to find - in the box, if at all. Do they do Restorations too? Is Stan working on a personnel project, if so what is it. We had a great time talking with Stan. Check them our on Facebook, under Early Classic Ent. and their website at www.earlyclassic.com Our next episode will feature the C10 King, Rene Martinez - the founding Father of the "C10 Club, no rules - no dues". Have a great Veterans Day, if you are a Veteran - thank you for your service to this great Country. Ronnie

Our first builder episode, with "Chevy Only" Dino (Battilana). This truck builder talks to us about what draws him to the 60-66 Style trucks. The 1963 "Shop" truck that got it all started. How he keeps a balance between family, work, and building sic rides. How he got invited to the Chevy 100 Show and why he thought he was getting "punked" by his buddies Sam, Joe, and Broey.

He is really looking forward to driving his new project and hopes to show it at SEMA, sponsered by Accuair of course. This and a whole lot more, so tune in and find else what Dino's up too.

Welcome to Episode #1 - in this Intro show we get to meet the host and creator Ronnie Wetch. Ronnie explains why he thought a Podcast was something the C10 Community was lacking and why you the C10 Nation would enjoy it. Ronnie talks about his influences - growing up around Chevy trucks his entire life, his older brother, magazines, truck forums and most importantly the C10 Community. Next we get to know a little more about Ronnie and his family - Married for 15 years to his "AMAZING" wife who also grew up in a Chevy truck family. She is supported (for the most part - haha) of his truck obsession. They have 3 wonderful kids: son(12), daughter(9), and daughter(7) that keep things pretty busy, but they make the truck passion a family affair. Then Ronnie talks about the format of the show. There will be two episodes a month, first episode will be a builder from the C10 Community. We will get to know them, what current projects they are working on, past projects, and talk to them about the one that got away - we all have them. The second show will be a vendor that that provides products to the C10 builders. What is their history, what C10 products do they offer, and do they have anything in the works? The vendor episode will be followed by a "Tech Talk" segment. This segment will be a professional in their respective area of expertise. These professional will share their knowledge regarding installs, paint & body, suspension, and fabrication. They will talk about common pitfalls and offer advice that will help the at home do-it-yourselfers. Ronnie then explains that at the end of each show he will annoumce the builder guest, and vendor guest for the following months shows. the listener will be able to submit questions, by emailing Ronnie directly at ronnie@c10talk.com or leaving a message on the home page at www.c10talk.com Listeners should sign up for email updates as well. emails will be sent out with updates from builders. vendors, and everything else going on with the show. Listners can stay updated with social media as well - Instagram (c10talk), twitter (@c10talk), and Facebook (C10 Talk).
Final thoughts - "The C10 Trucks are cool, but the C10 Community is cooler!"
