Heres my project.
Bought it for $500 in March completely apart, but all of the bolts, clips, wiring..everything was bagged and labeled and it came with almost enough parts to build another truck which is a really rare find up here, only thing I dont have is a box but im building a pretty cool tubedeck/cage and taking 12" off the back of the frame. That pic is a couple weeks old, its 2" taller now with the new springs. Its an 83, SR5.. I have all the chrome for it but im gonna store it and keep it nice.. after all this is gonna be a wheeling rig/daily driver, Im gonna keep all of the rare parts in good shape.. only safe place is off the truck.
Heres what it looked like when I got it:
It runs too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhsI7-a6F6s, It sat exposed to the weather and stuff for 6+ years, this is after I did the crank seal, oil change, cleaned the carb and the motor itself and flushed the gastank/line.. no muffler or airfilter and the power valve in the carb was stuck open.

I think they will recover your dash with new foam and vinyl. Not sure of the cost though.

Got some tires, suspension still isnt right, needs to make a drop hanger for the front and make longer shackles(front and rear).. Also need to some parts for my ubolt flip. Then Ive got a line on a longbox thats in good shape that I plan on bobbing(11"), but im not to sure yet, Im still thinking a tube deck is the way to go.

If you read this, (http://justdashes.com/dash_resto.html) they say it does not matter what make/model car you have. I'm going to give them a call and see what it will run to do the dash on my '83.
I believe you can have them add/remove holes such as the speaker grilles that were part of the older trucks. It will probably add to the cost.
