OVERVIEW:
Truckin magazine was published monthly by TRM Publications in Anaheim, California. The publishers, Tom and Rose McMullen, saw a growing trend in custom vans and pickups cruising around Southern California. Named after the popular saying and the R. Crumb comic, "Keep on Truckin'", the first issue went on sale in Summer 1975. Content included feature articles, truck profiles and how-to articles.
