Bruiser find

I found this 84 or 85 bruiser this last week. Fella bought it second hand in 1985 and only drove it a few times. Lots of original still on the tree spare parts as well. Obviously missing the rear view mirror, but also had the tires changed (dry rot from sitting on the shelf), the front body post, the steering wheel and the tranny plugs are/were there (until I bumped them, then they fell off from dry rot as well).... everything else looks to be there including a vintage 4 channel radio with shift gate!

You don't want to know what I paid... 8) we'll just say I got a good deal.

Wow, very nice find! Shouldn't take much to make that truck look new again.

thats a real nice find...always wanted a Bruiser..unless i find a super deal i dont see myself geting one..besides the world/ebay has made me dislike these trucks .. its like i dont want to really use a truck that if mint can be worth $2000 or more!!and i dont want to spend alot to get a truck i will most likely never use(i have a few rcs like that now :mrgreen: )..if i had this nice truck id make it look like it does on the box and shelf it
