« on: February 28, 2010, 10:17:20 pm »
Hey everyone. Im tyler. im 15 years old and for my birthday back on october 17 2009 my dad bought me this truck. Since then me and him have been workin like crazy with a complete engin rebuild. when we first got the truck 2 lobes on the cam were flat so we set out to put out a new cam in there and as we dug deeper in to engine we just couldnt help but make everything in the motor better with new parts.

They were both free and one was decent with no title and the other was trashed. I was 15 and needing a car soon.  :D

Nice truck.  Congratulations on getting it running.  We like to disturb our neighbors around here.  I didn't get my truck until I was 18 and we got married.  I loved driving it to school.
