That ole carryall of Kens's is unreal.. Here is a picture of my 1972 K20 which I have had since the seventies. My girls called it the "Quail Wagon" as it spent most of the time carrying pointers, quality double barrels, and dead birds...It has also hauled about every other kind of dead animal in these parts. I have somewhat retired this truck and hope to restore it someday. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/zale1957/IMG_0662.jpg) This '96 Tacoma is my current daily hunting rig. These trucks are very capable. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/zale1957/IMG_0661.jpg) I've got a few more trucks I use, but don't want to clutter the thread too much... Got a couple more Tacoma's and a new Silverado. These two trucks hold some good memories for me when it comes to hunting, especially the old Chevy.

Envious of the tacoma and thats what I want to get next. Never seem to find decent priced used ones up here.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Wow, awesome collection of toyotas.
You won't catch me bad mouthing them. My dad purchased a toyota 4x4 pickup witht he super or extended cab when I was a kid. I think it was in 83.
That was an impressive hunting truck.
We had it up in the snow covered Olympia mountains in Wa state on an elk hunt one year.
Very impressive truck.
Something clever here.

Love the quail wagon too. We don't see many 4x4's of that vintage around here. Not in a chev/GMC anyways.
And like humdinger says, if you do see them they are all rusted out.

I had never owned a Japanese 4x4 before buying the Trooper II, I have been impressed with it's ability off road. Granted not hauling or towing but for 3-4 guys, going around to deer stands, even in snow/mud it has been great. Good visibility from it due to the square shape and even 21 mpg on the highway.

The old ford is lookin good tom!
She's running good now too. Lots of new parts. The correct thermostat and it'll heat you out of the cab now! She's coming around.

Here's my 64 GMC Suburban "carryall" 4x4 that I always post when we have these threads: ![[Linked Image]](http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k204/desertoakie/sub18.jpg) That is one of my favorite rigs on here.

Your oldest (USA) Land Cruiser reminds me of the one I used to have. They were a great 4X4.

Thanks, It really was. Engine was fresh, new trans, not a seal or bearing left unreplaced. She was plum wore out when I started. It was a true back from the grave story. New sheetmetal, she really was nice. Then I sold it...

This'n followed me home last April, literally. ![[Linked Image]](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q14/AsphaltCowboy_album/P1010001-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q14/AsphaltCowboy_album/P1010004.jpg) Won't be ready for the hunt this year so I'm gonna' do a total body teardown, fix the metal work and give it a better look with some tractor enamel this winter.

Nice rigs, always liked them there JEEPS. My dad had a Wag. a 65 thinkin it had a Buick eng. in it. You guys don't seem to be bothered with RUST. Up here in Pa. we live in the salt belt, everything older is rusted up. Not real old 2001's can have whole undercarriage rusted away nothin to have rear end fall out. My daughter's Lincoln Nav. lost whole back drive train on interstate. You guys are lucky.... Again real nice Jeeps, like the stray that followed you home...later

Have no idea.
The data plate is missing, and the sequential number I found on the frame doesn't match the title I got with it.
Have had a few who know, reallllly know, these rigs judge from pics. Given the trans, transfer, axle and spring pack combination they're guessing something in the 6600-6800# GVW range. It could be a J3400 or J3600.
