Readers' Custom Trucks - Readers' Rides - September 2005

Hijacked
Jose Hinojos of Odessa, Texas, is the proud owner of this '02 Ford FX4. This truck has a 6-inch Fabtech suspension lift and a 3-inch body lift. It rides around Odessa on 39-inch rubber with a billet grille, and its two-tone body paint is a definite head turner. A 7-inch monitor complements the interior, and for great sound, a 10-inch subwoofer was installed.

Rust Free
This '85 Chevy Silverado C10 from Chicago, belongs to Matt Moncada. From the moment Matt laid his eyes on this truck, he fell in love with it. Knowing it had the potential to be modified, he soon began his task by purchasing a 4/6 drop kit. But that wasn't enough, so Matt 'bagged the truck, added a 10-inch super step notch, a phantom billet grille, and Cragar SS polished rims with Bridgestone rubber.

Chromed Out
J.R. Gannon of Strongsville, Ohio, couldn't be more in love with his new '06 Lincoln Mark LT. Since purchasing the truck, so many ideas have been coming to mind. So far, J.R. has begun work on it by adding 22-inch Epic wheels, a Flowmaster exhaust, a tonneau cover, and chrome running boards. Some time in the near future, he plans on upgrading his interior by installing an extreme audio entertainment system.

Street'Z Dezires
Arturo Moreno's '03 Chevy Silverado has the people of Newman, California, spinning in their seats to take a glimpse of his truck. The truck cruises lowered on 3/4 drop and blinds viewers with its 20-inch Mizati wheels. To give it a finishing touch, Arturo installed a flamed-out grille and painted the truck red with pearl and silver tribal flames. His customizing plans include installing an air suspension.
