Corey, I posted this on 4x4wire I think, but OOOHHHH man, I want one of your trekker molds. I have an 83 truck and it's in really pretty good shape, small amounts of rust on the bed, floorboard has a hole, but I would LOVE a back seat in this thing....turning it into a trekker would be so nice. I really have intended to buy a topper for it soon, but if the molds are coming....maybe I'll hold off. Any timeframe thoughts?

Man, one near by here, <100 miles sold a week or two ago. I would have bouoght it no problem if not for the fact I live in CA and it didn't pass smog. I'd love to have one of those trucks, it's my dream truck, but I settled for a 92 Excab instead.

They're just pretty rare. Toyota only made a handful of the Trekkers, as well as the Rangers (?), and I think there was one more that they put out in the early 80's. They were the precursors to the 4Runners...

About 1,200 made. So I would say yes. I have only seen about five, ever.

THAT'S it... I was thinking "Ranger" because I knew it was a name that a domestic car company had used... In this case, the Chevy "Trailblazer".

Anyway, very cool. Looking forward to the build.
