A real beater. This is my only vehicle. It gets used daily. Only 230K kilometers on it.

1992 mazda 2600i the best woods truck ever she will hold and haul 1/2 cord of green maple , for corner air and coil over loads tire chains and pushes an eight foot plow , this is THE nock around truck she has 60,000 mikes thats 60
I toyed with the Idea or replacing it , but the whole truck cost me 1500 to buy/build and you wouldnt believe the work I have done with it keep your big trucks , for the woods I barely need a path let alone a road.

I'd like to see everyones beater/knockaround vehicle. I don't currently have one, but am thinking about getting another. I had a 97 chevy truck I used as my knockaround, but i hit a horse with it. Then I rebuilt it, painted it nice, and put a 6'' suspension lift on it. So then it was too nice, and I didn't want to beat around on it anymore so I sold it.

But I have been thinking about getting another if I decide to keep my truck I have now. I am really wanting a 70-76 Chevy Blazer, but I am not sure yet.

So lets see pics of everones beater/knockaround/farm truck.

Here is the ol' chevy after a particular muddy day at the hunting land, and the wife all dressed up. lol
This truck had 249,000 miles on it when I sold it.

Heck with the truck, she is a cutie! I am moving to Alabama.

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.

How did you manage to hit a horse ?
Not many get that opportunity ?

Here's mine- I always wanted to do a dump conversion, and so did this one right after i bought it. You'll note a bunch of rust-she was a plow truck for her whole life- a '93 I purchased without the plow in 2002. Started having trouble passing emissions tests, and the torque converter would lock up sometimes when shifting into reverse, stalling the truck like you dumped the clutch. I got tired of replacing rotted brake and tranny cooling lines, but when the spare tire fell off that was the last straw.

I miss having the beater, but love having a new, reliable, comfortable truck.

Hey, What a small world it can be. Where in town are you ?
I am off of Rt 109 south, around the corner from the Lions club.

For some reason, the beater truck gets the carport and the daily driven truck gets the shaft.

It's ok to have a beater only or a beater and a nice truck,but you can't have a nice truck only.
Your nice truck needs a beater for company.

How long ago did you get rid of it?

I have this one to. I know it doesn't count as a beater, heck it isn't even a truck !
But until I get the truck, car & porch paid off, the daily driver is going to just have to learn to play by himself.
