Gidday from New Zealand. Sweet Lux I picked up a few weeks ago, 1980 LWB 18R 4spd with a Kiwi classic flatbed.
PO put a lot of time and effort into cleaning and painting her, I kinda feel bad for buying it
She does have all her inside trim but the door cards and dash cap are ratty as.

Picked up this pile in Colorado, it's pretty Frankenstein, with a Ford v8 from a 98 Explorer, and a 5 speedand transfer case from a 95 4runner, some 35" Goodyear MTR's, and a hacked together interior with auto meter guages and Recaro seats.
It's pretty fun, but needs some work to be dependable and nice looking.
Luckily, it isn't too rusty relative to almost all of the older yotas I've seen around Tennessee and Kentucky.

I like the fenders, too, but I don't know where they came from. My friend that I traded with bought the truck as you see it from a pawn shop for $2 grand, and I traded a worn out old 4 cylinder jeep wrangler for it. I'm still sorting through and figuring out what parts it has so I can keep it running. I think it has potential to be a pretty good offroad/camping rig that I can explore in the mountains with and not have to abuse my Tacoma. I'm hoping to repaint it with the smooth Duraback bedliner stuff, because their orange is really close to the original color of this truck.

Cool! Man, these are quite nice. Thank you for offering neat stuff for these old trucks. One day this pile will be pretty nice, and worthy of such cool fenders haha.
