I found a pair of 90% tread BFG mud terrains laying in a ditch last week. Today I mounted them on some rims and found out they were free of holes!

And no, I clearly am not above pulling tires from a ditch :rofl:
Id run ditch mud terrains in a heart beat!!! Sweet score! What size?

35x12.5x15. I mounted them on some 15x8 wagon rims that are 8-lug. I'll make good use out of them for sure.

WOW!!! That was a HUGE score! 35's?!

Yeah I was really excited when I found them! They've got a little bit of dry rot, but nothing too bad. Perfectly usable for years to come around my place.

Well I lied, saying the Freedom Wagon has no rust. Found some. (Kinda knew it but thought maybe it was the left tank seam leaking as it hadn’t leaked since I kept it under half tank)
Son smelled gas in the garage this afternoon and thought it was the right tank...the “good” one.
Pulled the plastic guards off both tanks tonight. Right side tank is spotless. Left side had who knows how many years of mud packed between the guard and front of the tank. Rusted out the bottom front. One leak present before I even touched it.
I ran the front wheels up on ramps and pumped out about 10 gallons until it ran dry. (The only advantage of an electric fuel pump, lol)
Hit it with a wire wheel and it’s full of pin holes.
Goobered it up with epoxy so I can go run the tank dry.
Scored a free tank in perfect condition a couple months ago.
Time to take the bed off this weekend and replace that tank and all the hoses. Oh well kick starting the resto. Will get the bottom, inside, front of bed and back of cab prepped and painted now.
Here’s the uninspiring pic...

Need to build a cart for the bed so’s I can move it around.
Thinking 4x8 so it sits tight between the wheel wells when refinishing the bottom of the bed yet big enough to be stable when the bed is right side up on it as well.

Took it for spin after I got my new seat belt in it. This BBC gas bill is gonna get big as I can't help but to feather the gas from a stop light or sign and break em loose a little bit. Not bad but, still can't help myself. Lol

Wanna take it to the beach and really have some fun with it.

I just found out why I shouldn't have mounted my mirrors with self tappers.

I hit a bump, and the mirror almost fell off, so I'm going to have to get some bolts on there

Charged the battery and took the '88 Burb parts truck for a drive, while showing off the Advance Adapters Torque Splitter to my brother @SK 99. I also went through a bunch of parts that my brother left here and started to 'inventory' some of it. This is just a sampling:
