I think he said C notch, he needs a step notch.

mini truckers are humorous

Painter D · 08-13-2008, 09:57 PM

Minitruck. Did somebody say minitruck?

Like everyone else said you'll need a step notch, or some other form of surgery to lay flat on the ground.

Most on here aren't the mini truck types....including me.....sorry just isn't my bag baby

dragginass · 08-14-2008, 12:20 AM

Well I understand. So your saying that if you have a truck on air that gets low... or have had a S-10 series or ranger or dakota etc... that your a mini trucker? I think thats profiling if you call someone a mini trucker just cuz of what they drive/drove or build.

joe231 · 08-14-2008, 12:37 AM

i'm not sure what Shane meant, but i don't think you should take offense.
sure if you are building minis for customers, you aren't necessarily a mini trucker, but if you build them for you, or drive them or specialize in building them (not saying that is you, just everything you posted were minis) then why would you not be a mini trucker. you are on here for a reason, i would speculate and hope it is because you like General motors, and not to stir up s**t.
so maybe you aren't a mini trucker
we all kid around, and sometimes it is hard to tell through a computer screen

sorry to the O.P.

Yea I definitely understand. And I am by no means here to cause any problems. This site has alot of cool rides, people and helpful info.

Its just mini truckers have caught a bed rep for alot of things and I dont/wont be associated with hack jobs or POS s-10s people call show trucks.

Riveted1 · 08-14-2008, 12:44 AM

Wow this thread is all over the place! Sorry Frisco Kid.

And yes I agree, if you drive one of those minis posted, you are indeed a mini-trucker.

And profiling? What is this, Reno 911?

joe231 · 08-14-2008, 12:47 AM

i hear ya,
from the looks of what you posted,
i wouldn't associate hack jobs or POS to your work.

there are plenty of full size and classic hacks out there, it isn't limited to minis

Riveted1, that is one funny cop smiley

oh and I'm still waiting for pics from ya, Frisco Kid

dragginass · 08-14-2008, 12:53 AM

This is true. I have had several hacks come to me wanting to be rebuilt. I just tell them there better off to sell it and start over. We charge more to fix a ride then to do it right the first time. And people dont see that. People think all you need is a Crescent Wrench and a saw zal to bag a truck anymore. If fabricating was easy everyone would do it. And it appears most people are trying. lol.

And thanks for the support on the work. I have to give credit to my partner Ryan tho. He is my lead fabricator. And were in business together.

Apologize for hijacking this thread.

**N2TRUX** · 08-14-2008, 10:30 PM

Alrighty, we got thread jacking galore going on here and in the middle of it y'all have nothing better to do than start name calling?

I "think" the OP got what he came for and now knows he needs a "step notch" not just a "C-notch" if he's going to lay frame.

I think the rest of you knuckle heads need to lighten up and remember there once was a time that you were new at this game, and several of you (me included) probably owned a mini-truck too.

joe231 · 08-14-2008, 10:49 PM

like how you get on to us for name calling then call us knuckleheads, that is priceless.....
err.....sorry for hijacking

oh by the way, i used to rock a jacked up in the back with big tires, 1979 red courier, everything i could remove painted bright yellow, with yellow dual blade wipers and a high tech tape deck

what can i say, i was 16

***Liz*** · 08-14-2008, 10:56 PM

better then dumb asses like he was probably thinking

sorry ken, ill slap myself for that

joe231 · 08-14-2008, 11:00 PM

RunninLo · 08-16-2008, 05:20 PM

Since this thread has gone way off i'd just like to proudly raise my hand and be counted as a mini-trucker. Into bigger/better things now but I know where my roots are.
