Tires are the military BFg Baja T/As 37x 12.5x16.5

That looks great. Those TrailWorthy Fab beadlocks are a smokin' deal IMO.

Man, I tried findin a set of those for a while...then gave up....
Nice rig.

 

[82355]

Thanks for the compliment, but it is far from a "nice rig" It is a giant rusty POS, but I do enjoy beating the hell out of it. The tires are actually off my 1990 K5. I popped the engine in it, so I threw the tires on this in place of the 36x12.50x16.5" Super Swampers that were on it. They look neat, but they are too big for the weak gears in this thing. I need to swing an engine my Blazer and put these wheels and tires back on it.

LOL, I grew up in Maine and hardly ever saw these crew cabs growing up, I've wanted one since I was 10; their all nice to me!

OH, did you buy that blue one that was in the classifieds a while back?

 

[82355]

Nope. A gray and black one from California. Search threads started by me, and you will find a couple hundred pics of the trip, including a quick detour through Moab.

I guess I'm just ignorant, but why is a crew cab referred to as a 3+3? What does that mean?

 

[bad larry]

Three in the front seat, three in the back seat... I didn't know for quite some time as well...

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up Larry.

Not all crew cabs are 3+3's though. Some stripper models came without a back seat. The ones that came with a back seat are the 3+3's.

Right on, I didnt know this one existed ether...I like this badge more..

Yep, Bonus cab means there is no back seat.

Really? I'm sure you took a look the thread that pic came from.. Strange; the truck appears to have power windows, tilt, AC, carpet, etc... Your sayin the truck (if this is original interior) came loaded but w no back seat? I woulda thought that would be a stripper characteristic...

 

[DrkZide]

It's meant for your dogs :P

Never seen one of those.
I always thought if it wasn't a 3+3 it would have the bucket seats front.
Live and learn.

mine has the camper emblem (I think thats what the T'pee one is), bonus cab, and a back seat.
