1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Those look like the rims off that s10 sized gcm hopped up truck, can't think of the name... sweet lookin in that van lol.
Edit: Typhoon???

 

Isn’t the cyclone the wagon version?

 

Syclone was the s10
Typhoon was the s10 blazer
Tsunami is the name on the astrovan.

 

Saw this on SGW today. Fascinating.

​

 

Skill Level 2... shit I'm out

 

What's the matter? Can't mold your own fiberglass parts?

 

Has anyone ever seen a custom FGT dually?

 

You know there was an advertised custom 1st gen dually flatbed on here for big $$$ a while ago?

Edit: My bad. It was a 2nd gen...

 

This is my 98, except mine was a Chebby stepside.

 

50K for a ruff as a cob bedliner finish? I thought that was reserved for the Hail-Marry F the paint I'm going to thrash this thing solution.
Looks nice though, very nice, just not 50K nice sheeeese.

 

This? Yes! "Cheyenne"

 

I remember when those came out, Fast AF.

 

Knew about them. Never saw one close up though.

0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. That's the same territory as the 2nd gen Tundra with a TRD supercharger I believe.

 

There was a feel-good story I came across somewhere recently about a dude's stolen Syclone getting returned by the guy who bought it stolen.

 

Yep, I've seen two of them in the time I've been an active member here.

It was a good truck. Despite the shitty plastics and cowl seals/seam sealer failures.

Hell yeah! I'm down with the 67-72s. I prefer mine a little lower to the ground though.

 

We had an Astro van growing up. It was a great van. No issues.

 

Yes, scrub about 3-4" off that and maybe one size down in tires and I would like it better too. But that Cheyenne two tone and trim I love.

 

I personally love the gold/white and secondarily the sky blue and white more, but the all-black C10 that was in Dazed and Confused was hot af too. It looked so much more black and shinier in the movie while doing mailbox smash or whatever

My mamaw still has one, final year 05. Changing the rad is easy, otherwise maintenance sucks. There's a reason I've never changed the plugs.

 

Could be a few parts worth salvaging...

@shifty` neck of the woods. Cops didn’t need to destroy that FGT.

 

Also @abcinv's neck of the woods. Sorta. That happened almost as far north of me as abcinv is south of me.

 

I bet it was still running!!

 

Hey guys how the heck do you remove the 30 amp fuse for the tow harness? It won’t budge

 

Of course THAT guy’s LBJ holds up, but one of us who babies his truck and turns into a driveway at 3 mph loses his. Haha.

 

The wife wanted to trade her 23 in for a 24 to get a different color. I let her borrow this one for the weekend so she could see that it’s the same damn thing

 

Being a transplant to Texas, I’m not used to how early folks here decorate for Christmas. Anyway, this weekend we are “making Christmas”. I thought I would share this little family heirloom with you. This is Toyoda.

 

Unless you get ridiculous deals working there, that sounds like a terrible idea.

My wife would rather spend money on travel than a car payment so we're going to freeze to death in Finland in a few weeks.

 

Oh man I am so overdue for a Finland trip
