1995 Body dropped, bagged, 10 switch, smoothed, Tangelo, very custom,

The Pumpkin Truck.
I named the truck that because when I brought it home in October of 2003, t leaked air so bad, hat it shortly was sitting on the garage floor looking like, giant pumpkin.
This is a 1995 Chevy c1500 that is a lot of fun to drive. 84,000 original miles. No rust. Stored winters. Dependable. I have had it to Nebraska, ississippi, eorgia. Decent fuel mileage; 13 city, 7 highway. I bought it at 68,000. Motor has approx. 10,000 mi.

LAM Engines built the motor (Russ 262-eight five nine-3137)

* Accel DFI included a 1200cfm throttle body, ingle plane intake, equential port injection, injectors, ails, uel pump, CM (Engine Control Module), equential distributor, oil and spark control, lectric fuel pump.
With a bigger cam and injectors, he motor will make 500hp.
Cost of purchasing the truck: $18,000
So, he cost of the truck is almost offset by the body mods.
I have over $40K invested.
