73-87 Truck of the month- January

[N2TRUX]

This months contest had a few delays. Trouble with the poll delayed things for over a week. Regardless, we still had another good race.
The winner of the January Truck of the Month is Scoti "and" Bagged81. Yes folks we had a tie that couldn't be broken.

Congratulations to both winners! Both trucks are great examples of 73-87 style trucks....

Bagged81-


General
Manufacturer: Chevrolet
Year: 1981
How long have you owned this truck?: Nov 1996
History behind the truck: Dad found it for me and it was it really good shape so I bought it. I was looking for a 67-72, but he felt this was the best for me cause I needed a vehicle. I fell in love with it over time. I drove it for 3 yrs in stock form, then slowly started buying stuff for it. It all started with cut spring and a DIY flip kit, then the mods took on a snowball affect and this is what it is today.
