Is So-Cal the birth of minitruckin???

Mini's were already getting big in Texas as far back as the early 80's. THe first bada** mini I remember was in Galveston during spring break 86. White mazda, ground effects Ratical convertible top, white BBS's and a tilt bed. It was so awesome I went home and cut the top off my 77 monte carlo cuz pop's wouldn't let me sell it and get a mini.

We already did a paternity test- it turns out that Dan is my Daddy!

It's taken a few counseling sessions, but I've come to terms with the reality of having Dan for a father. Male pattern baldness, excessive back hair, and bowed legs...
At least I can look at him and see what I'll look like in another 30 years or so!

sunset who hosts RESOLUTIONS derived from another club that started RESO in 77 i beleive...well last year was reso's 0 year anniversary. Rick the guy that drove NO HOPN in our club the green yota with hydros, remembers buying a 74 chevy luv new and lowering it. so go figure that.

Another guy in the club rememberss lowering trucks using 2x4's for lowering blocks. lol

So minitruckin as we know it is at least 35 years old...wow.

Sportruck.com has a club directory with a club called Texas Minis- according to their tag line, they've been active since 1987... anyone got a minitruck club older than that?

Theres still a couple of guys I know still with the Texas Miniz logo on there trucks ... not as active as they once were but still in existence nonetheless ... They were a main reason I got into minitruckin back while I was in High School in the late 80s early 90s

i remember getting a straight axle 54 chevy truck and pulling lowering blocks front and rear and dragging running boards and I did that when I bought the truck new .... WHAT NOW BISHES

CMON Guys....Everybody knows it started in Bedrock. Fred Flinstone dragged the floors OFF of his soft top roadster! Draggin Toe Knuckles down Hanna Barbara.

see i told you San Dimas is a dope place to live!!!
