Default What a Pickup is For...

Blue Pickup

Check out the Parish Blue Chevy...runs 10's!

Originally a 6 liter 4L80 shortbox with a turbo...AWD!

And to think I used to live in Omaha and never knew of this...even featured in Hot Rod a few months ago along with a winner of drag week.

That is crazy...I can only get my 96 Corvette in the mid 12's!

5000 lbs on the dot

I just finished up the DVD of the Drag Week event highlighting his pickup mainly if you want to check it out.

We actually put the thing on the scale there, that's how we know the weight. The red nova that won the event weighed 3100 lbs
