Ok,1st post :)
I picked this baby up a few months ago in trade for a 78 blazer.
Cruise and AC work perfect.
Has a fresh 22r and freshly built 5 speed.purrs like a kitten!

Here she is when i first got it.

and a montage of what Ive done over the last month....

Ive stripped the interior and am doing all of it in black.
deleting the cab corner lights and probably going to shave the bed hooks.

I'm just going to static drop it on the stock rims,and paint the rim black,then polish the chrome trim rings and put in a baby moon center.
The truck will be black with a phantom grill...if anyone knows where i can get one please link...otherwise i will fab one.

Thanks for looking!

She has NO rust and only a few minor dings..there is a slightly crushed right rear lower bed spot..but i can fix that pretty easy.

im going to put it on my truck. Put it in the far right corner of my phantom. Everyone around here thinks i roll an Sdime so i will change that. I got one from SMCPrez but it was a bit bigger then i thought it was. He hooked it up for free so it dont matter but i am really after the one you got.

They only came in this bodystyle truck as far as I am aware. Most newer trucks have a wide X shape pattern in the wheel.
If you can find it cheaper, I can fix it.

UPDATE!!!

Got the interior started.
Got the jambs painted,frame painted,and rims painted.
Got the carpet in,lower dash painted,center console in,and one seat..lol
I put the glass back in it so i can drive it to work this week and mess with why the front end has so much slop in it at lunch.


Please forgive the pollen on the truck....its everywhere right now.
thats the main reason i cant paint the truck.
That and i dont have all the body work done yet...lol

Im waiting for the carpet to completely dry,and then im going to "lock" the dye in with spray carpet dye over the RIT.
It looks awsome now,the flash is picking up weird colors that are not really there.


PICS!!!!

no rust on the center bearing crossmember near the fuel tank? every old toyota ive had has rusted thru at that spot iether on the frame or the crossmember. my 86 frame is rusted there aswell.

the center console came with the SR5s, this is the series one judgiung by the round lights. the S2 had a center console as well but i remember it being slightly different.....gotta love the luxary of the door speakers, i have no idea where they put the speaker(s) on the standard models.

what do u have planned for the body?

lol....there was almost no rust on the frame AT ALL.just a little surface rust in places.
It was all dirt,
there was actualy about 60-75% of the original frame paint still there..lol

just shaving the 4 corner lights, and bed hooks.going to leave the rest.

Drop the shit out of it and a nice clean black paintjob with a phantom grill.

Nice clean and simple.
for now........lol
