    Hey there. Didn’t know this forum existed until today. Here’s my project: I’ve had it since 1996.

    Like sands through the hourglass, this truck has a long and interesting journey. Started working on it 25 years ago. The first five were pretty intense with the truck being bone stock when I got it. Five years later it looked like this. It’s crazy how the snowball effect can happen when you start modding things.

    Long story short is I lost interest in the truck, so it basically sat for almost 20. Because of Facebook and other things, my love for minitrucks got revitalized and I was recently able to move the truck around and start tinkering with it again. After sitting for so long, it basically didn’t run any more. Problem traced to a bad fuel pump which I was able to swap out this weekend and start it for the first time in almost 20 years.

    There’s a really big show coming to my area and that’s what really motivated me to be honest. The fact that I don’t have to drive 2 to 3 hours to get to a show is pretty exciting to me. Anyway, stoked to be on here and check out what the site has to offer.

    Cheers.

    As a matter of fact, it would! Been meaning to drag it out to that show the last couple years. It still doesn’t have an interior, but I live like five minutes away so I’m trying to get it there regardless.

    Wow that's a cool truck!
    I grew up in San Diego and used to see many trucks like this, but it's been a looong time since I've seen one.
    The filled in the corner lights and grille look really good on this body style :applause:
