    Hey Guys, Name is Joe. and Im from Chatsworth, Georgia. I just picked up my 1st toyota Pickup 2 days ago. Its a 81 standard cab. She needs quite a bit of work, but hopefully with some help from you guys on here, and my club, I'll have a weekend dragger before long. Well a bit about myself, Im married, and I have a son. Im a stay at home dad-(not by choice, but since the economy fell out & not too many houses are being built Im without a job, but with my son) so it all works out. Im a member of Wicked Possessionz based here in Chatsworth. Although Im still fairly new to mini trucks in the past I owned a 74 datsun 620 that was bodydropped, convertible, and had a single pump setup. And I left a traditional car club about 3 years ago, where I had my 87 monte carlo LS, that I installed hydraulics on, and tinkered here and there with different setups. So Im not completely new to the scene, but I still have alot of learning to do. But anyways, before I start rambling on as I tend to do, I'll leave you to it. Best Wishes guys, and hope to talk to all of you more. -Joe

    Thats a nice looking Datsun you got there. I also have secretly conveted your sr5 predracer. I spent some time in Aussie land and i met several guys that would hook up any datsun they could get there hands. I guess is was my first introduction to the "mini" culture. good luck with that 81. Hope it works out for ya!

    Thanks guys for all the kind words & welcomes. Also Euro, I need to go ahead and say I wasnt the one who built that 620. I bought it off a real good guy up in Peachtree N.C., his name is Ray and he owns a shop called Sound Expressions. Also same here on missing that lil truck, I kick myself in the ass everyday for selling it. I was being dumb, and the old car club I was in said no trucks allowed so I sold my own truck to buy my Monte Carlo...a very very dumb move, but no I've got a fresh start on the 81 and I hopefully someday I'll be able to use the phrase "Built, Not Bought" :D
