IT TAKES ALL KINDS. There are a ton of different street truck enthusiasts at all different levels—different levels of tenure, age, time, money, effort, skill levels, locales, styles and more. But the common bond that we all share is a true love for trucks of all kinds.
Street Trucks magazine happens to cover one of the most diverse audiences and, as such, we get the pleasure of enjoying so many different styles of builds and people, and they always keep us on our toes! Take Hondo Miller and his gorgeous 1969 Chevy Blazer build, for example. An insanely detailed build from top to bottom and front to back, no stone (or bolt!) was left unturned. When we first stumbled across Hondo’s killer Blazer, there is no way we would have guessed that he built it in under a year’s time, and that he built it to compete in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge.
We thought for sure this was someone’s babied 10-year build that was hardly ever driven, but upon further inspection we soon saw the beast within. This is a caged, LS-powered street machine build definitely meant to be driven! Starting off with a solid foundation, Hondo ordered up a custom Speedtech Extreme Chassis that was the first of its kind. Front to back, everything was hand selected to perform. A 2019 LS376 was built by JDP Motorsports and tucked nicely into the Speedtech framerails and mated to a stout TR6060 meant to put power down to the custom 17-inch Jongbloed Racing Wheels (yet another sign that this Blazer means business).
