Nice yota dude

 

Found a canopy on ebay. Fairly rare to get one these days. Will be painting ( figure will use SEM White trim paint ) it next.

 

What year is that one, DieselSurf? I don't think I've ever seen a king cab first generation.

 

Only came with those 4 doors in other countries.

 

Its an 83 doublecab. I believe they only made them in 82 and 83. I have only seen them in Oz and Nz.

Paperstreet, Are those wheels on your current truck the factory chrome wheels? Mine came with the chrome wheels but they're dull. I'm going to polish them out and put them back on the truck.

 

maestro, yeah those are factory chromes that have been bead blasted and painted a light grey aluminum color. even did the spare. btw disregard the pm I just sent you lol

 

I kinda like the chrome look better though honestly
