About my C1500

This is my very first ride. Mom and Dad got it for me when I was 16 yrs old. It was just a rolling chassie - no motor or trans. Dad said "There's your truck now build it". After finishing my truck I went to a show and it was put in Auto Buff Magazine. A few years later it got broadsided by a bus.  Frustrated, I put it away for awhile.  When I started to redo it I did lots of modifications to the frame but kept the original frame rails. Looks very cool. Never cut the frame in half. Has a Blown small block Chevy with Hilborn fuel injection on top and lots more in that nasty little small Block.  Thanks to Rick, George, Dave and Jeff Santos of S&S Automotive. And, thanks to Paul Turpen of PT Performance, for topping it off with a Hilborn Injection.  I Love this Truck. Next, the body and paint!! Thanks Jim Silva      OPPs Its a 3100 not a C1500

Nice!!! Going to look even better with paint. Got to ask what I was always asked, "you going to put the hood on?" Just put mine back on after 2 years  and it does give her a more "finished" look. Also, love the injectors! Was going that route but went with BDS instead.
