    Hi everyone. My buddy and I made the road trip (6hrs.)and picked up a 1991 Suzuki carry dump. What a cool little truck. Runs super and has the neat dump option. Need to fix a few wear and tear items in the interior, but overall not in to bad a shape for the year. Has diff and axle lock options with a 4spd trans. Everything works except the gas tank gauge.
    If anybody has any interior parts for this truck, please let me know:)
    I think this forum is great and look forward to posting more as this project progresses. Thanks!

    O.K. Guys. Since your all busting my b@#$^:) Here are some pictures that I got from the seller when I was looking to purchase the truck.
    I don't have any new pictures because I'am storing the truck at my friends house.
    I'am not sure it's appropriate to state how much I paid for it , but I think I got a pretty good deal.
    In another week or so, I'll try to get some better pictures with a little more detail.
    Hey, If anybody out there has interior parts please give me a shout.

    Thanks everyone for the interest!

    Stuff 99, the tail lights don't function properly. My friend noticed it when I drove it around.
    Not worried as my buddy works for Ilmore Engineering. They build off shore boats and Indy cars. He is one of the people who's job is to wire the boats and cars.Probably going to go LED for tail lights.
    Thanks guy's for the compliments.

    Just let your guy know that these vehicles are not wired like what we are normally used to. Found out the hard way when installing my stereo:eek:... the color "standard" may not be standard on your truck.

    Advice? Check each wire for a ground, 12v constant or 12v with the key applied/on, truck running etc. Some wires have "multiple" uses.... like a ground with the key off, but when the truck is running it used for a 12v panel dimmer and carries voltage.

    also these trucks have a separate bulb for turning light. might have to add another set of the same lights so you can get a turn signal out of them!

    Looks like a 1990 or earlier truck being that it has those yellow side marker lights. If you check the seat belt tag you be close to build date.
    Those are good little trucks. Ive had a few of them. Some of these trucks had the manual lock out/lock in hubs up front. Steering assy. seems to be more up right and seems to gives these trucks a little bit more leg room.
    Welcome to the board.

    JW, The wheels are ITP c-series type 7 . They are discontinued , but you may be able to find them on Ebay. I found mine on craigslist. Had to drive out of state to get them , but they were brand new in the box :)
    The tires are Diamond Back Super Grip atv tires. They are 6 ply, as opposed to 4 ply like regular atv tires, to take the load.
