  • Today we show off this absolutely ridiculous $300 mini truck that was abandoned since 1992 - and saved...in a questionable but fun way.

    I worked at a dealership for years and years in the early 2000s ,Technicians are by far the most oddly critical of peoples cars you’re ever going to meet. I drove a short box converted 66 Chevy with a Cadillac 472, Muncie 4 speed with the factory 3/4 ton suspension static dropped. Putting low profile race type tires on 8 lug wheels and laughed at. My goal was to build a “ if pro stock car racing had a truck series and Cadillac built one” truck all because I couldn’t afford the five lug conversion and new rear axle. End result was a really powerful truck that did amazing burnouts and so ridiculously fast until it ran out of leg it was actually pretty scary. Some of those same guys I worked with that I thought were making fun of me actually asked about the truck later on. They actually really were impressed by it and gained a lot of respect for it because I seen it through and was exactly what I wanted. This guy did just that. You don’t need a lot of money. Just a great attitude and imagination to build anything. Certain guys come in and help out tremendously kinda like how he got those wheels. Nowadays I have 4 ratty muscle cars that I don’t care what they look like but they run awesome and they get more attention than their painted counterparts at shows. Dodge guys hate my 69 coronet because it’s ratty. But it’s safe and fast. Keep truckin my guy you’re living the dream of custom building. Whether it’s pretty or not, you’re did what most people haven’t…. Driving a project vehicle!!

    When I was in high school my friend had a brand new Nissan hardbody . But his was a short box with a tonneau cover . We had lots of fun hydroplaning that truck .

    I love this truck! From the backyard graphics to the license plate spoiler, this thing is the cat's pajamas.

    my first vehicle was a silver 1982 Isuzu pup diesel. Now I wish I held on to it. this is cool..I had a Mazda b2000 mini truck back in the day too. so this really brings memories back.
