My new Beach Truck
Well, normally I am always hanging out over in the 60-66 column, but after today I can start hanging around here too!
This is my '80 scottsdale 4x4 I just picked up yesterday. It's got a 4-speed with granny low, 350 and 205 transfer case. This is my new truck to take to the beach. It has rust through the rockers and around the windshield, so it's not so nice that I'm scared to have a little fun on the beach. I don't plan on doing much to it right now, just having some fun! I used to own a '73 3/4 ton and an '86 Scottsdale 4x4. I guess it was time I had to have this body style again. I can't enough of them....

Re: My new Beach Truck
Nice looking rig! I like the tires too. Their chunky without being too funky!

Re: My new Beach Truck
They are 31's. I just went to Les Schwab and I have never heard of these tires before, but I figured they'd get the job done. And they were cheaper than any other M/T tire.
