Hey guys, Im Trevor, and these are the twins. The blue one is a 1986 d50 2wd 5 speed that my grandfather gave to me. Its in extremely good shape, especially the interior for such an old truck. My grandfather parked it in his garage back in 03 and i just pulled it out about 6 months ago. I changed all the fluids, slapped a weber carb and crager wheels on it and shes been running strong.

The black one is a 1985 mitsubishi mighty max turbo diesel 4x4 5 speed. I also picked this thing up around 6 months ago for 800$. It is currenty in the begining stages of a frame off resoration and complete engine rebuild. Its got 256000 miles on the odo and im the second owner. The orginal owner parked it in 2005 and hasnt ran since.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Heres some more pics of the Ram50 for ya'll to drool over, all she needs is a new grille. It could use a new motor with more power and EFI. I may be going to the junk yard next weekend to get jeep axles for my mighty max build. You guys have any suggestions on what mitsubishi cars to look for with motors that will drop in the d50 with efi and maybe a turbo? The d50 has the 2.0 with a 5 speed.
Just started a build thread for the mighty max guys so go check it out.
