  • BUILT TO CRUISE EPISODE #7 Hear Radar's story of how he built and enjoyed his Isuzu Spacecab Minitruck, only to sell it in 2003.
    The truck once graced the cover of Minitruckin' Magazine as well as numerous other automotive custom media. In 2018, he was able to buy back his original creation after 15 years of it being away.
    His story weaves through his life of custom vehicles and his passion around minitrucks. He runs one of the largest truck shows in the country, Lone Star Throwdown (also known as LST). Also check out his truck related clothing company, Garage Gear. Links below.

    Who else sold their custom ride and has either bought it back or is in the process of looking for it?

      Man, I'd love to get my bagged Ranger Splash back and do it up right. Pretty sure it was totaled a few years after I sold it. Kinda sad. :(

    I absolutely love these videos. Being 17 and hearing all these stories from back in the early days of minitruckin’ is fascinating to me. I have a 94 s10 that Ive already decided is gonna be more of the old school style. Keep these videos coming for sure.

      That's what it's all about. Spreading the stories to the world to show how we all share a common passion and love for minitrucks and custom vehicles. Thank you for watching! We really appreciate it.

    My dream truck. I've been wanting a spacecab for so long. There was a white and pink one on the cover of minitruckin in the mid 90s and it instantly became my favorite.

      Spacecabs are becoming so rare these days. Beautiful styling and excellent platforms for custom minitrucks.

    " everything I've had was all premeditated " I know the feeling... I'm almost the exact opposite... I just wait for something to drop in my lap and then mentally build the shit out of it... one day i will own a huge shop and have way more cars ( probably in peices due to the project portion ) then i know what to do with. I have a good start with the 3 stockers I currently have lmfao.

      I can relate with the "I want one of everything". At one point I had more non-running trucks than driveable ones. LOL

    I wore the mini trucking issue out with that space cab in it, one of my favorite trucks of all time. Then they used it for a add and it was in most issues after that.
