I live whats considered the midwest but its still east. SO therefor the south can have that shit. you guys should have seen the one I saw today lol caprice with 26s

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP MY POPS HAD A 620 DATSUN DROPPED ON ALUM 4X4 RIMS WITH LOW PROS, IT WAS RED WITH HOT PINK/BLUE STRIPING ON THE SIDEMY POPS WAS OLD SCHOOL

BY THE WAYS HES 51 YEARS OLD NOW THAT WAS BACK IN 84-85.

Can a somoan climb a tree? duhhhhh jk

The gas crunch gave birth to minitrucking- all those stoners in the 70s couldn't afford to drive their vans (no offense to stoners OR gas guzzling vans!), so they went out and bought Datsuns, Yotas, and Luvs!
I have a couple of Truckin' mags from the 70s, and you should see some of the crap they threw on those minis! There was actually a tech article on making and installing your own custom wood bumpers!! I'll have to scan that one and post it up for y'all!

HELL YEAH......

I was about to say that for as long as there have been small trucks there have been mini truckers. I guess you can really trace it back to custom car builders of the 40's and 50's who use to drastically lower their suspensions on their Mercs, Ford customs, and Chevys. Alot of the same things custom truck enthusiast do to their trucks today were being done back then by George Barris and people like him. Basically, the short answer is yes just about every custom car scene originated from Cali. From Hot Rods to Lowriders.

I AGREE WITH PHIL PLUS THE FACT THAT THE MIDWEST AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WAS ALL ABOUT "BUY AMERICAN" BACK THEN THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A DATSUN???? CHECK OUT MY OTHER POSThttp://www.streetsourcemag.com/forum/topic.aspx?method=reply&topic_id=79772&forum_id=13&forum_title=&M=False&S=True
