'85 Chevy S10 4x4 with the 2.8l V6 and a 5 speed. Not too sure on miles, but probably over 200k. Try to get some pictures of it tomorrow.

I don't know if I'm willing to call her a beater yet but I have a 93 F150 4x4 that I bought new and just could not bring myself to sell her when I bought a new F150 two months ago. I kept it telling myself it would become my hunting truck. | |

No fancy paint job or chrome, I dont want it to be to nice to work or drive | Man, that truck with a cummins will be sweet!
my dream truck would be a 2006 F-350 crew cab 4x4 with a Cummins 5.9, with an Allison trans. That would probably take some big time money to cobble together though. lol

My chevy wasn't always that nice, it was kinda worn out when i got it, and i kept fixing up a little at a time, then totaled it when i hit the horse. It trashed everything from the doors forward. i got my parts out of a junkyard, painted it, and put a 6'' lift on it. A guy offered me 6500 for it, so I sold it. I miss it sometimes.

Had an 87 Ranger 4 banger with a little over 275,000 miles when I sold it and the odometer didn't work for the last 3 years. Now I have a 97 F150 with only 162,000 so I don't consider it a beater yet.

No photos of the one ton.... Here's my 1/2 ton being abused. Since it's easier on fuel, I use it whenever I can.

Great picture Cami. That's how real beaters are made, by beating on them.

It isn't a beater but this is my daily driver / work vehicle. 2006 F-150 (black). The second picture is the truck I traded, it was a 2004 F-150 FX4 (blue) | |
