RFCDrum Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I like them at the show but not when they get all beat up afterwards. Again they were unique for the time as we didn't see that on the Jersey side as much.

2stacksuperdog Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah its good they went away. i think the NYC trucks are a little too much with dual dual exhaust and a million lights and dogs and everything else thats everywhere but i guess they like it and thats what counts.

RFCDrum Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It was cool in the early eighties as that was the way to customise back then. It was more bolt on stuff than the custom fabricating of today.
