The ‘88-’98 Chevy fullsize truck was one of the most popular body styles in its day, but if you get into one nowadays, you can tell.

Everybody loves Burt Reynolds, some of us in an unhealthy way. At least if it’s unhealthy to grow a mustache, wear cowboy hats, and hang out with Dom DeLuise all the time. Is he dead? No? What is he, in his 70’s by now?
Anyways, the team at Year One is always looking for […]

There are a lot of posts up here at FOC, and most of them sound the same. So what’s different about this one?
It involves steps.
1. Buy a Trailblazer.
2. Make sure you do step 1. Seriously.

Let’s get personal for a sec here, because nothing works better than breaking protocol. I love the ‘47-’55 1st-series Chevy trucks. For years I dreamed of building one of those, until just recently when I picked one up for $1,250 — and I even got a clean title with it. As a result, I […]

Back in the day, modders had a hard time getting a custom intake manifold for their Hondas and Acuras — but things have changed since the late ’90s.
