His shop is in Neenah, near the intersection of Hwy 76 and Breezewood lane.
He has access to truck and trailer if it is to far to drive the beater. He should just buck up and buy Jim's yota mini/dump truck.

That statement begs a chit chat post on the accurate definition of beater and of POS. I agree Jim's is a POS but it also usually runs and gets him most places, thus qualifying it for beater status. Can one truck be both???

OK, if a beater is wanted, then our POS is out of the question.

true....and I've borrowed that POS a few times to get around....
no wonder my neighbors love me!
(and for those that don't know, Jim's POS is a 4" lifted 87ish mini with bald tires and a dump box )

Main and South Stree intersection south west corner Fond du Lac, there is a late 80's Mini extended cab sitting out for sale. It is flat black and ugly but you can make out the shape as in it still has bedsides and fenders and rockers. Price is on the windshield and started with a $1XXX. Looks to be a $500 truck if it runs and drives. Might want to check it out and hunker a spell with the gentleman to see if you can swing a deal.

Brian and I are looking at one sun afternoon. Hopefully this one checks out. Mini and a parts truck w/ both diffs, motor, and tranny. $ seems to be ok if the truck is what he says.

bought it...good deal IMO...
white cab, black flatbed, cab in good shape, runs/drives great, included two spare tranny's, cases, and one engine, plus a complete POS rig for other parts. Perfect shop runner and light wheeler as it sits...just needs the seats replaced with something containing foam

What year/s? No need for foam. Ryan has plenty of padding.

No picking on the fat guy......................
Actually the little sucker runs and drives great. I've already got the radio in..... hate silence. think I'll just leave this little sucker alone. Jim has a set of 4" springs but don't think I'm going to mod it up yet.

Do those lights add enough horsepower to make up for the wind drag they cause? Or should I ask that question in tech???
 Looks like a decent little bugger. Good thing you are so, uhh umm elevationally minor so you don't have to eat your knees to drive it.
