Dad is retiring this June and claims he's going to move to camp for a month so
I'm kind of looking for a 1 ton rusty pickup for him to fart around in. He's
got a Jeep Liberty thats been a surprisingly good truck but it won't pull start
the Super M and it can't haul all that much.
I've found several potential trucks all with the "no brakes" caveat that I'm
not particularly scared of. The REALLY cheap ones say "no brakes, bad
transmission" but thats more than I want to get into...

Agreed, the Mahindra would be nice to have available.
If I were in the market for a pickup, I'd look for a 62-67 chovey,
frod or dogde.
Or an international
Then put in an OM603
New "pickups" are ridiculous,both in bed height and in price.
Cheep should resurrect the old pickup with the same 16 ga sheet
metal, not the 30 ga (or plastic) like current wussified crap.
Or international should start building light trucks again.
If someone would build a basic tough truck, people would buy it. But
there is a lot more profit in selling $50,000 yupified wussmobiles.
But for that kind of money, I could buy a Mercedes.
