Your local street car celebrities

Growing up I think some of us envied a local hot rod guy that had a fast ride. It seems that, at least around where I live, these guys have disappeared. When I was in high school there was this guy that everyone in the small city that I live in couldn't beat. He used to race around town and hang out at the local teenage car gatherings and auto parts stores. I am very car racist, and pure to Mopar, but I have a weak spot for this truck. It was lowered, had a cowl hood, radical 350 with aluminum heads, muncie 4 speed, Weld Pro Star wheels with Mickey Thompson ET Streets, and ran on 110 octane. The paint was faded, and the cab corners were rotting, but this truck was nasty loud and was intimidating. You could hear and smell this truck a mile away, it was awesome. Listed below is a picture of the truck.


A few years ago he put an automatic in it, and gained almost a second in a half. He unfortunately ran nitrous and dropped a valve. Needless to say its been in the dark side of a garage due to lack of funds and a family being priority. Please shed your stories and post pictures if you have them.
