    Ken Thurm...Superstar!

     



    It was a cold day today so we went to Barnes and Noble for some reading material. There, staring me in the face at the magazine rack, was Ken Thurms cool pickup, RIGHT ON THE COVER. His truck gets more press than Tiger Woods.

    Great article Ken, nice to see it still looking so good. Congratulations Bud.

    Magazine Cover

     



    Thanks for all the wonderful comments. The photography on the truck was done about two years ago and I didn't know if and when it would ever make it in the magazine. They must have been desperate for material!

    They did have an investment in the shoot. They paid for the photographer, the model and it took almost six hours for the shoot and over 300 shots taken. The model also made three clothes changes as well during the six hour period. So, as the magazines are getting thinner, and more and more people are going to the Internet to get information, they probably didn't want to invest more money into photography shoots...which ended up being good exposure for my truck!
    I wish they would of shot it now, with the changes I have made I think it looks much better now. I'm not complaining, really glad they finally used it.
    Ken
