Midnightrider


PAST
Her name is Molly. My mom actually helped me pick that name. She is my first black truck. I bought her brand new on September 29, 2004. She came as a LS package with everything but the center console and leather. I was in love with her from the start.

Her first mod was a set of 22" Helo Skids. Shortly after that I got her Pacesetter Longtubes and true dual flowmasters.

At this point I realized i wanted a Blacked out truck but not murdered. I also wanted it to look original and be fast as hell. My thoughts then focused towards the 4.8 liter. That was short lived and I bought a 6.0 LQ4 out of a wrecked H2 that had 1500 miles on it. My brother and I tackled this swap with out any knowledge of the LS based setup.

The power difference became a never ending addiction. I became a junkie and all i wanted was more, more, more. At about the same time the 6.0 went in I bought a rollpan that resembled a RST and a SS front bumper and matching spoiler to set off the look.

About a week later i bought a Beltech 2/4 Nitro Drop and a new set of Helo 835 and some new rubber.

About this time my buddies suggested I check out some Truck forums for more ideas. So i joined SilveradoSS.com Performancetrucks.net and LS1truck.com. I then started learning about Go fast stuffand the LS based motor. I love the friends I have made threw my neverending endevor to be fast.
I took a huge leap and bought a MP-112 Radix. It was a couch ornament for a while til i met Danny(sprayed99). He took me under his wing and we installed the Blower. We also did a True Trac, Fully built 4L65e, and a cam swap. He has sense become one of my best friends.
