1972 Malibu 350/350th it was that God awful yellow (my GF called it baby crap) with a black interior.......I painted it black and styled to look like an SS454 and even had a LS-6 TH400 and a Ford 9" for it.  It met a solid object with a substancial amount of velocity, I did get the parts to put it back together and did most of the work but sold it off.....dum dum dum.  The 74 C10 is my first truck, I almost bought a 1963 C10 SWB back in 1985 but got a 69 H.O 4 speed GTO instead.
The difference between genius and stupidity.......Genius has limits.

My first truck is my 1994 S-10.(Still my DD) Its got a 4.3 and 4l60e and its 2wd. I probably had 4 or 5 different exhaust setups on it within 1 year that i had it. lol finally decided to leave it with thrush turbo and a turn down.  It's be my loyal companion for 3 years now. I shackled the truck right when i got it to lift it 1.5inches for the cool stance and to fit big tires on the back. It takes me anywhere except through mud no matter what kind of tires I got on the back of it. lol


I got to share my friends first truck though. Its everything I wanted my s-10 to be but no so redneck. lol its 1991 S-10 with a 2.5l 4 banger with a 5spd and 2wd.  I sold him my 31's that I had on my K-20 and he put them on the back of his truck. We straight piped it and put an exhaust stack in the bed from a International 1486. Its louder than crap! I bought him cab lights for his birthday as a joke and he put them on it. lol this truck will go through some mud. I was so surprised. he took me mudding yesterday in it and that thing would almost go anywhere. He knows its redneck and he likes to drive it hard as crap but he doesnt care what other people think of it and neither do i. here is a video on youtube. cant figure out to get it to show up here.

My first was an '83 S-10 blazer, 2.8l with a 2-Bbl and a 4 speed, 4x4. Not a bad little truck but hardly enough power to move out of its own way...

Way cooler was my second ride... Although it is kind of a bummer story... An '81 Trans Am WS-6 with a 305 Chevy and an M-21 4 speed. T-tops, Bright Blue with the bird on the hood and the shaker scoop. My dad picked it up for almost nothing because the original owner was upside down in it, and my old man hated to drive it so it eventually became mine. It was a screamer. It wasn't that fast, but man it would hang the rear end out with hardly any effort at all, especially with the close-ratio 4-speed. Way too much for me to handle. I sold it after high school because I was tired of getting into trouble with it, and saw it three weeks later all smashed up on the back of a roll-back on it's way to the junkyard. I cried for almost a week. Anyways, I will have to dig up some pictures of it( I've got plenty of burnout/donut/racing pics stashed away somewhere), but it looked just like this one:

My dad found a pic of my first truck I'd forgot all about.  I didn't have my license yet but drove it anyway. ;)

New '85 Ford F-150  ;D

Here's mine:


It was a 1983 citation X-11. It was my mom's car until I bought it when I was a senior in high school. It had a 2bbl 2.8V6/Auto. It had a functional factory cowl hood on it. Man, I thought I was cool then. I guess it was the precursor to the sport compact movement. I got the car in '94 and sold it in '96 to buy my first chevy pickup. An '88 C1500 LWB. Fast forward 15 more vehicles and you get to the '86 I have now.
Whatcha gonna do with my 8.2?
