The highboys came from the factory as you see in the picture.. the tires are 12X16.5.
You should be able to take the bed off with either 4-6 bolts.. I am not sure, but they are heavy as hell.
This truck actually weighs close to my 2013 f250 powerstroke
Good luck on finding one.. as I have said before I have only ever seen one other white crewcab highboy
Not many of the other colors.. Most were worked to shit, and junked.
Appreciate all the cool replies. Its like showing off my kid..

I guess my van is old too.
This belongs to a friend of mine, It has skis for the front wheels too (sitting in the bed), so I guess it could have gone in the snowmobile thread.

If that landcruiser was a truck, you would not need the trailer Not sure SUV's are trucks

I wish more "trucks" could go where I can in my 80. Actually, I don't.

I think the basic test of a truck should be if you would haul a half ton of manure with it. I am on my third 4runner, a 1999 model with a small lift and bigger tires, but it ain't no truck. The first one I had, a 1987 4runner, was basically a truck with a topper and seats in it. I never referred to it as my truck. I see suburbans and Tahoes called trucks, and like the 4runner, they are built on frame rails, but they are passenger vehicles. What about unibody vehicles like the GMC Envoy? Truck, I don't think so. A lot of the vehicles in this thread really are not trucks, despite being really cool and capable 4x4s. Just my take

I hauled 7 people and 2500 lbs of raft gear to place most people wouldn't take a truck. I've also hauled 3500 lbs of gravel in that trailer. Never had a reason to haul shit but could and would.
I think a lot vehicles you would call trucks are less truckly than my 80. It's got solid full float axles front and rear and a fully boxed frame in it. Name the most recent year a half ton "truck" came with those stock.
I get your point though. People call a lot of IFS creature comfort vehicles trucks nowadays. Unless you converted, your 87 had IFS and a light weight frame. Plus, by your definition, with a little spring help, Brats, Rancheros, and El Caminos could be called trucks.
Really not trying to bring stoke levels down in this thread. Merely pointing out subtle differences in certain vehicles often go unnoticed. And an Envoy, seriously, who buys those?Last edited by Conundrum; 01-21-2014 at 01:31 PM.

Based on it's age and apparent condition I'm guessing you haven't had too many problems with it? I had a '00 ZR2 pickup for a little while. I had set out to buy a Tacoma but ended up with that instead. Biggest POS I've ever owned. couldn't crawl it's way out of a wet paper bag and by the time it had 60k on the clock everything but the engine had something wrong with it. Took a bath on it just to get rid of it and avoid more repair costs.
I have an '84. Last year of the carb'd 22R, still solid axles and fully boxed frame. Should have it running again in the next month or so. Rebuilt the bottom end and topping it off with a ported 20R head, Weber 32/34, and Thorley Tri-Y header. These little trucks are definitely "trucks."...Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain...

Nope no problems other than the typical wear on front end suspension parts (which I recently replaced, tightened everything up real nice). I'm the second owner and it's got roughly 135,XXX miles on it. Pretty damn capable off road too. I wheeled it pretty hard for about a year and a half but it is retired pavement for now.
The general consensus with these trucks is love it or hate it, doesn't seem like there's much middle ground. Some of them are just plagued with issues from the beginning.
