Tim has been a long time supporter of Level 7 and Spirit and Speed. He has bought a ton of products and have always found this to be an impressive truck. We are happy to shine a spot light on this truck. Below is a little bit about the truck from Tim.
This 1985 Chevy C10 was my first vehicle — given to me by my dad — and the truck I drove through high school. What started as a daily driver turned into the foundation of my passion for performance trucks.
Watching people race at events showed me that you could build something competitive and still enjoy it on the street. That vision shaped my build: a truck that can attack an autocross course and still cruise on a Saturday night. I have spent the past few years racing, learning the truck's short comings, and making improvements as I could afford. As with most of us truck guys, I have been through a few different suspension systems, engine, and transmissions. Last year the truck went through some major changes and I am really happy with where it is at now. Also very excited to spend another season racing with all my truck buddies!
