It all started when I got my September 03 issue of Truckin. There was a black standard cab stepside truck that was slammed on the ground and packing plenty of power. From then on I knew I wanted a standard cab stepside truck that had to be a v8. Within the next month I was the proud owner of a 02 Indigo Blue Stepside truck with the 4.8L and an auto tranny. The only mod on the truck was billet inserts.

I figured I would start with the small, inexpensive things to satisfy me for a while. In less than 6 months I had a DJM 4/6 drop kit, a set of Centerline Stingray IIIs with 275/35/20 tires, and a Sir Mikes roll pan in the garage. From then on the truck has continued to take my money to make itself both look better and run better.

Its a great looking truck that I get many complements on all the time. I have had several people tell me if I ever go to sell it to let them know first, but I don't plan on getting rid of it for a while. I have never had it at the track since I am more so into the show scene then the racing scene, but this doesn't mean I won't ever go. In my second show, Super Chevy at Atlanta Dragway, I won most outstanding truck for 88+ and that seemed to make all my efforts worth it. More than likely the only future mods will be to beef the tranny up a little so it can hold the power and a larger intercooler.
