Damn son, y'all have some toys. Those first two pictures, sweet. More info on that 58 if you can. I always wanted a 55 F-100.
He acquired a super high mile but clean C6, and offered it up for trade. The Apache came along and he jumped on it. 5.3 with a healthy cam, Holley hi-ram, longtubes, etc.
It runs really well and rides great on a (non lowered) S10 chassis. Fun truck, and is for sale or trade currently.

I’m with @_Snake_ on this one. Where do we apply?
Are you hiring?
These days we work for Holley, and we are almost always hiring. We're located all over the country (TX, KY, CA, UT, FL, AL, SC and more). Looks like 18 openings across locations currently:

I have to say, if car parts are part of your annual budget, you will LOVE our employee discount. Its been shared publicly before, but I'm not gonna do that here. Lets just say you'll find yourself buying stuff you might use later just because you can :)
With over 70 brands worth of products to choose from, you can pretty much build a car from the ground up and equip yourself in safety gear for a fraction of what it costs in the real world. We like our employees to use our products!

Does my buddy work down there with you guys still? I want to say he left his shop up here and went to work for you guys. Matthew Kessatie.

Not sure if its the same location, but I visited the/a Diablo shop way back in 2003.

A group of friends and I drove down to for NMRA opening weekend and coordinated with Nitrous Pete since he was there tuning his '03 for nitrous. Pete was one of the only guys at the time with access to Kooks headers for the '03 and my buddy was handing over cash to secure a set (which he never received, btw).

Anyhow, while there, a Diablo employee drove over to Home Depot to buy an "Employees Only" sign to place on the exterior shop door. Said nothing to us as we stood near Petes car, just stuck the sign on the door and walked away. We mostly ignored it, but laughed at the behavior; and when we finally left, we also removed the sign.

I'm sure all those guys are gone now, but it's a funny memory about that place.
