Just Mini-Truckin
Welcome to Dan's center for custom trucks on the Internet. I haven't found very many pages that talk about custom trucks, so this may very well be a first. If you know of other sources, don't hesitate to E-mail me!
My last truck was a 1989 Isuzu standard bed 2wd pickup. It has won a total of eleven trophies, plus been in two magazines! (Sport Truck and Mini-Truckin.) I was very proud of this truck, but unfortunately, once I got into jet skiing, I decided that a lowered truck did not make a very good tow vehicle. Oh well. At least I can remember her through these pages. Check out this list of modifications I made:
- Lowered eight inches in the rear. Eight inches in the front.
- Full four wheel air shocks for a ride height adjustment of three inches.
- Center console complete with air hook-ups and air guages.
- On-board air compressor.
- Suicide hood.
- Engine fully detailed - painted and hoses replaced with braided steel.
- Prime polished aluminum 15x7 swept & fluted three spoke rims.
- 195/50 r 15 Road Hugger low profile tires.
- Chrome wheel well molding.
- Custom graphics.
- Stillen ground effects - bumper also painted to match body color.
- Hood bra by Designer Fabricators.
- Chrome tailgate skin and chrome tail gate handle.
- Chrome brake lights.

- Pontiac Sunbird bucket seats, re-done in black and gray.
- Interior fully carpeted and re-dyed to gray.

- Rag over hard top done by Street Beat.
- Free flow exhaust, pencil tip pipe.
- Fully carpeted bed kit:

- Orion 4" mids, Orion 1 1/2 inch tweeters.
- Four Gefco 10" DVC sub woofers in a 1st order box.
- Blow through configuration - woofers hidden from site.
- TV/VCR hooked up through stereo.
- Total power, more than 1000 watts!
- Neon lighting.
- After market bump stops, smoothed frame in rear.
- Hidden hitch, flip up license plate.
- Tinted windows.
So, why did you get rid of it Dan? Well, like I was saying, I couldn't tow my jet ski very well with this truck. Most of the places I go to, I don't get to launch on pavement, but off a beach. In a lowered truck, this is next to impossible, so that is why I picked up a 4x4.
Before you go, you should check out the history of my previous truck!
