Default New Beater truck!!!

2.3 5 speed,2wd, no power steering (from factory), dents in every panel, and mismatched wheels. I love my new beater!









Picked it up for $300 out the door. Guy just put new brakes all the way around, new shocks, and 2 new tires on the front.

Clean up the battered body, lower the rear so it sits level and some 17" mustang wheels I have lying around. That's about as far as I'll go for a beater

Your 93 is sweet so I can see why. Where did you get you'd tires and how much if you don't mind me asking?

Well, that's a funny story

They quoted me $950 mounted/balanced for 33's. They called me when they were in and I went in before work the next day to get them put on. Unfortunatley, they didnt have my tires. So they gave me 35's for the same price lol. I got them at Bastians Tire/Auto

300$ ? That is about scrap prices. Looks like a decent runabout . Whatcher plans for it? Or was it just too good a deal to pass by?
