One day I will regale you with the story of how my truck earned the name Piso and try to impart the level of my frustration when I managed to coast it to its current resting spot. Add to that the birth of my daughter, self employment + full time corporate job, home improvements, and another expensive hobby, it happened. Hard to believe it's been that long though. I'm ready to roll it again, big time.

They look like old Cal Customs from before PCV setups became the norm. You can see newer versions here.
