Welcome to the Orange Cow Truck HomePage

Devoted to the Orange Cow, and me!

Here is the Orange Cow

It's a 1986 Isuzu P'up

2wd, 4 cyl engine

Ask yourself what the designer of this truck was smoking at the time he came up with this concept.

My previous daily driver is the truck above. Motor Trend voted it as having the ugliest paint job ever on an automobile. Now most people think that it, the '86 Izusu P'up with Canyon Graphics that made it look like an orange cow. If you know of one please E-mail me.

Normally, here is the place I would plug the sale of this truck, but I am not. This truck would never, ever pass a safety inspection. There were so many things wrong with it, this truck is just plain crap. For example:

Worn brakes
Broken speedo and odometer (at least there's the gas gauge, right?)
Broken gas gauge
Blown carb
Timing - no marks left on the harmonic balancer
holes in the floor (about the size of silver dollars)

Even though, it still was a hilarious, who gives a damn, ride. The truck died on Friday, the nineteenth of December, 1997. All attempts at resuscitation failed. The funeral was held on February 19, 1998 and was buried (driven to the junkyard to get $50) on Friday, February 20, 1998. I still cannot believe I was able to get that much.

Below is the "riced" version of my truck. Of course your results may vary....

This is my 1987 Toyota Pick Up Truck

I received this truck for my 18th Birthday.

Don't think I'm spoiled. My dad got it cheap from a friend. The bed needed a lot of Bondo work and it took most of my vacation to do it. Thankfully my job at the time didn't require me to work much.

The above picture was taken 2 days after I flipped it over in May of 1998. All I needed to fix to get it back on the road was a flat tire. I removed the destroyed sheetmetal and drove it around for a couple weeks until I bought new body panels and had the windshield replaced.

The truck has the 22R carbed four-banger. The suspension has been rebuilt as well as a new steering box put in. As for mods, it has American Racing Black Nugget rims and slightly oversized tires. It is a really cool parts hauler, and it only says __YOTA now on the back!
