Well, you and everyone else who claims otherwise are just going to have to play along and admire OP's beater. Okay?

If one has a stable full of Ferraris, Bentleys, and Land Rovers ... its a beater.

And before you put on black wheels you better check with another thread on the automotive forum ... someone there doesn't like them :-0 lol

Well, I need to beef up the rear suspension. Probably airbags. Not sure yet. I also need to play with the equalizer hitch.

That's not a beater.
I don't see any caulk around the windshield.

My '78 Chevy pickup had both caulk & duct tape!

My BIL had slow rolled it in a ditch and he sold it to me to get cash to get out of jail.
The windshield didn't break but it didn't quite fit either.
Drove it for many years. It was good mechanically, just a little bent.
