Yep those are moon hubcaps, an old retro look that has somehow started to sneak back into style . . . Thanks for the pics, keep em' commN when Ya find em' . . .

 

Haha, im pretty sure I can find something a buddy of mine gave me his Mini Truckin collection from the first issues to now, lol.

 

i love the raked retro style we have in here, but how do we get our 89-95 bumpers to get that shovel look?

 

Im still drooling and begging, more help please! I know that there are some more hilux guys now, lets see it . . .

 

i love this first one!

 

This truck was the beginning of my love for Mini Truckin' The truck is (was) hot pink and I am proud to introduce her as "Rough Cut". I use toi stare at it for hours and sais thats for me!!!

 

I have got to practice this more

I wouldn't have anything to do with minitruckin if it werent for the early/mid 90's and earlier trucks. These days I get nothing out of MT mag (with the exception of the d50 and a slim other few). I don't like big wheels, I hate dark colors, I hate yellow, and I hate s10's.


Sorry for the rant, but I love these late 70's early 80's trucks. If I didn't have my mind set on a 84-88 yota bobbed and SAS as my next ride...I might just build one. Nothing like tweed, ferarri replica mirrors, 16's and driving because you love driving your truck. I will never enter my truck to be judged, I wish there weren't even classes and trophies at shows.

 

Memories, memories, memories, lol. I started building minis back in the mid '80s, and it was all about crazy style. We didn't have bags, we had air shocks. 15" x 10"s were the most huge wheels you could imagine. Most of the ones we built, were static about 1 1/2" off the ground, so you really had to plan where you were going. The cops had know idea what to think.

 

seen this on another site thought i share.

 

What a cool idea.

 

those were old school aftermarket plastic valances. sorta like body kitting half the bumper. some werent too bad though. like that 84-88 above.

i wanna add something to my 78 to bring the nose down a little. ill probably mod the valance from something else to be a wrap around lip. i dunno. i want that part lower. not more than the rockers, and if its metal ill make a round bar to hang just under the edge to prevent it from tweaking the sheet metal. plastic, well, eff it. its plastic.
