That is an awesome looking truck!!! Do you have any plans for it or are you gonna keep it how it is?

Good find! Love seeing a first gen with a straight, no rust body!

nice find man, i love that color!

Dam man, that thing is clean!


Nice find!

That is beautiful. I like how it looks without a rear bumper but you ought to get one before someone bumps you in a parking lot!

That thing's badass!

Extremely nice truck and a hell of a deal! Consider yourself lucky!

I'll be heading up to Green Bay for our annual guys trip to Lambeau Field on December 9th to watch the Pack take on the Lions, so if it goes missing around that time... I didn't do it!

Yep. Clean looking body. VERY nice. I like that color, and the flat black accents on side line and mirrors. You get to choose a bumper! Have FUN!

I like the wheels it came with too. Awesome find!

The tailgate looks very good. Mine has dettachment at the tiny welds inside on top. I want to find a new replacement. But can't. Is there any aftermarket bumpers available with the lift latch? I'd like to replace it with a stock replacement with Toyota letters if possible. Does anyone know of a parts vender with 1st gen tailgates?

Nice truck and a great find. I have been looking for a similar truck but all the ones in Alabama are missing doors/a bed and sitting on 44s or way to much money.

83pingpong 04-24-2012 02:11 PM

Where can you buy a 1st gen tailgate (replacement). I can't find any! (sorry for hijacking your thread, but that tailgate looks GREAT!

Check out slacker's stuff. (4 posts up)
Got me thinking I may not want to do a flatbed and just get one of his when my bed finishes rusting out (it's hanging in there, but it's just a matter of time.)
