Power Smoking Diesel: The Chevy Shootdown - June 2002 Ford Disco Truck of the Month

""Power Smoking Diesel"" The Chevy Shootdown

Jun. 01, 2002 By Fidel Gonzales
This Power Stroke plows through the crowds like a freight train of performance but can cruise with the best of them Disco Trucks. This rig is a true Chick Magnet.
Here you go Ford Freaks, the latest edition of Ford Disco Trucks at Off-Road.com. Last month's Disco Truck was a dandy. It earned our Dodge section a brand spanking new advertiser, ClearGearz.com, makers of some bad ass diff covers. Jeremy Manny runs the show in this shop. It was last month's Disco Chevy that happened to be parked in front of his shop at 2108 South 1100 West #4 West Haven, Utah, and attracted all that Off-Road.com business. Anyway, these polycarbonate covers will blow your mind. They're clear! For those of you who don't believe us, install one on your rig, crawl eye level to that Dana 70, have your buddy fire up that big 460, fire some octane through the throttle body, engage the tranny, and watch that ring and pinion give you a Ford-Powered mohawk that you'll see coming. Cool, huh? This Month's Truck This month's ass kicker comes straight from the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. Strange as it may seem, this month's Disco Truck is a bonafide, rock-crawling, red neck-roosting Power Stroke Diesel. We caught up with the rig on the ruthless slope of Potato Salad Hill (AKA: Patato Brain Hill) in Moab, Utah. It was Easter Jeep Safari 2002 and the geeks, goons and Jeep yahoos were going off - until this massive Crew Cab monster cut a path through the crowd misfits. "Oh, (shoot). No way," yelled one drunk punk who was having a tough time realizing that the chick's ear he was nibbling on was in fact his drunken heterosexual male buddy who - in turn - was hanging on a real babe. "That dude's out of control. I'z gonna' get me my Chevy!?!? "
There was a guy at the top of this hill who was waving his red shirt like a bull fighter. Needless to say, this Power Stroke was a "No Bull" and "All Show" performer. We'll call it the "Chevy Shootdown!"
"Your Chevy sucks," quipped some kid sitting on an ice chest. "Go home and work on that piece of (shoot) you lousy drunk." The turbo ignited, the lights lit up on the eyes of the crowd, jaws dropped and the monstrous Boggers belched a ton of rubber on its way to the top of the hill. The big beast roosted up the hill like he was the famous Dusty Beer, the motorcycle hill climber. Let's put it this way, this Disco Truck ain't all that Disco. Sure, it's got the nosebleed lift that Superman would have a tough time leaping over, but the thing Rocks! It ain't going to win the Baja 1000 or nothing, but it's a pure crowd pleaser. And the chicks dig it! You probably won't see this rig in the glitz and glam magazines. This rig won't slow down for those poser shots. It's a full-blown Power Stroke baby! And nothing can touch it - except maybe the guy's boss who the truck was stolen from over at Penco Incorporated.
