what is a good truck for playing in the mud?
i want to get a older truck to go mud riding but i cant decide what to look for
old chevy 80-88. the suspension and drivetrain is tough and easy to keep aligned. massive aftermarket parts and plenty of used trucks out there for cheap.
any ford of the same era will have the weak TTB front end.
dodges don't have near the aftermarket.
if you go mid or small-size, then you'll be breaking parts all the time due to the big tires.

i got a 85 dodge ram w 150 147,000 miles on the orignal 318 and this truck rocks in the mud and i only got 32's on it. ive pushed mud with the front bumper and ran over a few small trees for fun. only problem i had with it was i put a dent/hole in the axle housing(hit a patch of ice and went off the road and hit a big rock and it put a hole in it) i got one for 100 at local junk yard 6 hours later it was back on the road. you cant kill this truck it has been threw so much and still runs great.
