Title: Car and Truck Addicts
Post by: AirWarren on November 24, 2016, 11:03:22 am
Any of you posters have a serious problem with trucks/cars and modification? I have always had fun messing with the vehicle I drive. Feel free to share some pictures of your favorite types of rides.

My 1998 Tahoe was red. Fixed up similar to this. Not lowered though, it was 4x4. Still one of the best body style Chevrolet's,

My 2005 was fixed up like this. Except it was silver, smaller rims. These look to be 24 inch, mine were 22 inch.

I know with a lot of kids in Maumelle, it's all about lift kits, light bars, tire spacers, and brush guards on their trucks right now.

Yeah, that fad was just starting to hit around the time I had gotten out of it while in college. Lots of lifted trucks etc at a couple of truck shows I attended in Texas in the mid 2000s. The fad had not gotten here yet.

Now I see leveled out trucks and light bars everywhere.

Sorry we got the Truck from a Farm , went to Sonny's auto Salvage and grabbed the 455 and a 400 Turbo tranny for it , We but it together over a month working on the weekends. The truck had been sitting up less than a year so it was easy to get it going. But back in 1984 we didn't take any pictures.  We ran it for about 90 days and had a guy offer us #3 grand for it so we sold it.   We had less than 1,200 bucks in it at the time.

I would love to drop a new engine and transmission in my old Tahoe. Body work. And fix it up.

I've got a 78 ford ordered it special in 78 it took about 4 months for it to finally get here it was a pretty fast truck at one time.It's out run a few blue lights in it's time, but it's parked now hoping to one day get it back in prime condition.
