    I also like how he avoids the handbrake like the plague so he doesn’t scrub too much of that speed he had to work so hard for.

    Now that's the kind of truck setup that forces you to work on maintaining momentum and late apex, high entry speed drifts where you never lift the accelerator while ripping through the corners. Reilly's truck makes good sense as a beginner drift missile, what a guy! Lol!

    Before fast and furious I drove a similar one to deliver chinese food... it was so low you couldnt fot a pack of cigs under the frame and the bolts for the lowering blocks would take chunks out of speed bumps.....it slid around corners like a spongey brick but it was so much fun!!!!

    Loved watching this!! I have a 91 too no power steering or Air conditioning shes ugly but its been good to me. Back in 91 my Dad helped his co worker to get the truck.He co signed for the loan......the next day she passed away. I remember going with him to the dealer to return it or work something out but the Bank didnt care.
    Its a good thing they didnt take it back once I was able to drive I took it off his hands lol.The damn thing wont give up Everything is pretty much still stock since 91 except for Tires, brakes, Fluids( some of them) thermostat and My ignition switch some rookies tried to steal it but couldnt take it.
