    Hey everyone! My name is Scott, I am from Huntington WV and I have a 72 (RN10) Toyota Hi-Lux (Low Lux) on air. Built by a few cool guys (Bobby Martin @Sadistic Iron Werks, Bob Grant @ Grant Kustoms, Mike Alexander and myself) When I purchased the truck the frame was about 85% done. I put all air lines and brake lines inside the frame, I finished welding and blocking some things in then took it to Roger Martin @ Rogers Custom Paint & Body for some color. The frame is completly build and the bed has been reskined with new bed sides and tailgate skin custom bent and stamped by Bob Grant. Some of you have seen some of the build process in Mini Truckin Mag a few years back. This truck has bee in the build process for about 5 years now and now that Its mine I its finally getting completed. I look forward to talking to everyone and being a productive part of this community.

    Welcome, Scott!

    Good story about your truck. It's nice to see an "oldie" still rolling around and I'm glad you bought it.

    Yes those are Shockwaves. Air bags and shocks all in one. I have yet to drive it since it is in the construction stage bit it rolls good when pushed..haha. I just have the shockwaves and no other springs or torsions. I will post a photo of the rear set up in a little bit. 90% of the engineering and fab work was done by Bobby Martin at Sadistic Iron Werks in Cali. Thanks for the posative feedback!
