New (to me) 4Runner, Wabfab built?

I have posted on here before about an 81 model truck I had, but I sold it and bought this beauty. PO tells me Wabfab built the motor for a crawler, but then decided to go with a V6 and put it in a body they had sitting around. He bought it and had it for 4 or 5 years, and then sold it to me because he has a new project. It came with a Wabfab bikini top and it runs REALLY good, so I have no trouble believing this is true.

I can't argue with you because I don't know what it is... I will probably do a few things to it over time, but for now I am just enjoying driving it everywhere.

I have a hard time believing Brian would have left those running boards on there.

Bought. Put motor in it. Flipped it.
Motor came out of 85.

Sold it 3-4 years ago.

Your rear quarters are rusted out on the bottom.

Sounds like he embellished the story a bit when he sold it to me.

Oh well, that is to be expected I suppose. I still like the truck. The rusted quarter is just on the drivers side. I am really not sure what to do about it, nothing for now I suppose.

Tub the rear. That's what I did with mine. Wasn't very hard just time consuming. There are also a lot of write ups on the forum to help you out with pics and questions.
