Anyone notice that that crew cab had a twin I-beam front suspension?

question for ya'll:
Why do they call this style truck a "pre-runner"?

There are a couple pictured that have this type suspension, lends itself better to suspension travel.

A "pre-runner" was a vehicle used to "pre-run" the race course (Baja) to get use to the course/obstacles and such. That way they did not wreck the race vehicle. Now "lifted" 2wd trucks get the name pre-runner.

Sorry, I meant the single cab parked in the driveway. I actually bought the mag with that crew on the cover. That truck is amazing.

I've got a serious thing for the old aero trucks. That thing is pretty wild. Still more fond of the crazy square from San Diego though...

If ^ was for me, I was talking about the black truck, with the blue beadlock rings, 5 trucks down in post #16. Got sidetracked staring at all the pictures and didn't realize there was more than one black truck in there, haha. I thought there was another post by the owner on here somewhere talking about his truck, but I cannot for the life of me find it.

I think they both did... Hannemann still shows the conversion hood.. maybe they are no longer producing them.

Thanks Prerunner, that was the thread I was looking for. Guess I should have searched the obvious title. I think I searched for everything but that.
