Default What did everyone have/ trade in, before their 99-03 truck?

I had a 99 quad cab dodge 1500 4x4 that i hated. The 360 was gutless and sucked down the gas. I will say it did good in the ice and snow though.

Vehicles I've had in order.

'92 S10 - Switched to 355 SBC and then got blind sided by some drunk a@@hole. TOTALLED

'96 S10 Blazer - Deathtrap on wheels. Very Scary ride. Let my sister borrow it one day and some jacka@@ rearended it while she was stopped at a light. Got it fixed and got rid of it.

NBM '00 SS Camaro - Full bolt ons with a 3800 stall. Ran 12.68 @ 108 with 3200 stall and no headers. Never ran it after the headers and 3800 stall. It was ALOT faster. Wrecked one morning on a bad road.(circumstances outta my control) I REALLY miss that car. TOTALLED

Pewter '01 SS Camaro - Installed a Procharger kit and got really discouraged with some of the bugs with it. It was one of the first kits out. Never really did much else to the car and finally took the supercharger off. I should be selling it once I get some scratches taken care of. I won't miss it. It never felt the same as my '00 SS.

'00 GMC Sierra - Got Plans Currently using as daily driver. Has some bolt ons and headers. More to come VERY soon.

Near future car

'01 Pontiac Grand Am - I need something to drive if the truck breaks and I will get a good deal on this car.

A couple years from now I can see myself in a Pontiac GTO. That is one FINE car.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I traded in a 1999 S-10 with a modded vortec 350 from a 98 ex-cab truck.

The truck had 17k on it when I yanked out the 4.3 and 21k on it when I traded it in.

It never fails, I build a two seater hotrod, then turn around and have a kid and need a back seat.

'85 Mustang LX 3.8 V6 abused all through high school, bought it at Budget Rent-A-Car for $3000. Owned it from '86-'89 and handed it down to Mom Dad rear-ended someone and patched it up best he could and gave it to a cousin on welfare in 2000. Whereabouts-UNKNOWN.

'87 Mustang LX 5.0 owned since '89 and still have it with 84,000 miles today. Bought it used for $9500 with 20,000 miles.

'73 Toyota Hi-Lux bought as a beater for $50 with a burned clutch. Had it until '95. The odometer broke at 160,000 miles and the body rusted out soon after. The best engine ever made, in my opinion. No oil leaks, no oil burning, nothing. It wasn't the 22R, it was a 1600 or 1800 if I recall. Gutless as hell but reliable.

'82 Buick Regal 4.3 V6 for $200. Don't remember how many miles but very reliable and again, body rusted out so I gave it away to a friend of a co-worker.

'87 Olds Cutlass Ciera GT bought it for $500 with 89,000 miles in 1999 and still have it today with 146,000 miles. Stripped timing gears, 2 MAF sensors, one alternator. Pretty reliable and still going.

'03 Silverado ExCab Z71 5.3l. First new truck ever and love it, even with the "ugly" front end. I personally like it. 550 miles so far.

I had a 92 SCLB Silverado that was slow as hell and always broke down. After that I got a 98 SCSB Dodge Dakota which was slow and got 16 mph but never gave me many problems. Now that I have my 00 SCSB Silverado, I hope I can keep it forever. One day I might buy a Ram or a Silverado when they redesign them, but I want to keep my 00 for a long time.

I had a 95 TBI 350 ext cab, never had any problems with it. I sold it to my daughters boyfriend and used the money for the down payment and paid off a few bills. I had evey bolt on possible to the engine, 0-60 stock was 10.1 seconds, when I sold it, it would do 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. I thought that was pretty good until my 00 truck did 0-60 in 7.35 seconds dead stock.
