That's what everyone says... I pick and choose the bad ones out of the woods. Plus tree tops from a logging years back. I love the heat the walnut generates! I swear the big bear 400 is the toughest quad I've ever owned, all torque and will pull a house off its foundation!

1977 GMC K15 , 350 engine with a 4 barrel carb, 4 speed trans with a "granny" compound low gear, and a np 205 transfer case. 3/4 ton springs in the back , 12 bolt rear end and a Dana 44 front. There is a good bit of rust being hidden by the fresh paint they slapped on, but a solid woods truck. I gave $1200 for it and trailered it home. Put 2 front brake hoses on it, tune up, changed all fluids, and new rear pinion bearings and seals. Total investment as you see it about $1500.

Wow, well worth it. It sucks that rust killed so many trucks of that era, but i'd say that one is a keeper. If you want to update it like the new chevy trucks you could always have onstar and a black box gps tethered data recorder installed. Not.

That's one sharp looking truck. I love the older trucks from the 70's and 80's .. 79 ford is my favorite of all time wish I could find one in decent shape. here in north east PA the salt eats em up pretty quick.

Love that old tractor. My family still has my Grandpa's old Ford 8N. I think it's a 1958. It was just repainted and had some dings and dents repaired. The high gear on that thing is just plain scary!

Throw in a flathead v8 and it will be even scarier. Rename it Wheely horse after the upgrade.
