new from louisiana

my name is keith, im from bossier city, louisiana. ive been into the MT scene for about 7 years now and ive always admired the cars and trucks in acro and i would really like to become a part of it, anyways about my truck, its an 83 toyota, bagged at all 4 corners with slam re-8s in the back and re-7s in the front (that was fun), floating upper bag mounts, floating air tank, frame has been shortened 7 1/2 inches, all the holes from the cab back and been filled in, the bed mounts have been cut off (its stayin bedless),antenna hole has been shaved, mirrors shaved and replaced with skull/teardrop motorcycle mirrors. thats about it for now, future plans are to shave the back cab wall with a frenced liscense plate, trailor fenders with some old 50's chevy tail lights, maybe teardrop who knows, get it painted the stock color but with way more flake, do the interior, and i havent decided on stock wheels or smoothies with a white walls, ive done all the work myself so far but onto the pics which everyone enjoys lookin at pics...





not finshed yet, just so you know


again, not finished, still gotta grind all my welds down, im just not looking forward to that part

welcome and nice start.. will you still run a stock length bed with the frame shortened? same wheel base?

looks liek that cab is in great shape for its age!

welcome

its not gonna have a bed which is why ive welded up the frame holes, shaved the bed mounts and what not, since its all gonna be exposed i dont want it lookin like shit, which i wouldnt want it to anyways, but its a bigger deal when ur not running a bed

y no bed?

Nice to see a fellow La guy. Nice start man just also wondering why No bed? Why not shorten the factory bed sides and no floor or a plexi glass floor to show off after you done.

no bed???? not really feeling that dude

i like the way a bedless truck looks. and i got a few ideas that i wanna do that will kind of set me apart from the norm. ive also just always like bedless trucks for some reason so now that i finally got another mini worth showing off, im gonna run it bedless. my 1st mini, the bag job was just a basic bag on axle set up, nothing worth looking at and now that i think i have a pretty sweet set up goin, im not puttin the bed back on... idk if yall have a rule about the truck has to have a bed or not but if it does, then im sorry i wont be joining. i wont build my truck for a club, i build it for me but anyways....STOUTE, where about in LA are you

Yeah unless the rest of the truck (when it's done) blows peoples minds then I think it would be safe to assume that Bedless would not fly....

I live in port barre. About 20min from laffayette and about 1hr from alex
