Saw this '76 sitting in a yard here in town, and for $375, I figured what the heck, and bought it. Now what do I do with it?? It runs really well, thats about all I really know about it.
I work as a Turfgrass Equip. Tech.(mechanic, if ya wanna be simple about it) @ the golf course here in town, so it become a nice light utility vehicle for the course, nice and light= easy on the turf, or it may become some ridiculous project....any suggestions.
Thanks

omg that is so sick. pre-runner.

 

That is a ledgend it is fine...... Clean it up and paint it back the stock color Keep it factory. Congradulations

 

you're probably right.....

 

I'd do a cheap but decent paint job, make a custom grille, paint the bumpers and trim black, and find some used aluminum rims.

You'd have a cool cheap cruiser!

 

yeh man make it one colour :thumbup:

 

that thing has alot of potential, but please paint it. it looks like a oreo experiment, but yah man make that thing a sweet lil dd

 

def. agree w/ everyone here, paint that baby, and fix its grille
needs the old yota emblem
put some 22's on that beezo!
...


maybe not
thats a sweet find tho! :thumbs up:

 

Paint it, use it, and love it!

 

Cool truck, theres a guy on Pirate 4x4 that converted his '74 to 4wd using a 79-83 drive train, Its on 36's I believe, sick little rig.

heres the link:

Btw, that isnt the original motor, but its a much better one.

 

I thought the 20r came in all of the trucks up til the 22r....

 

There was an 18r , but I don't know what years and in what they came.

 

i just did some searching and it looks like the 20r was introduced in 1975. so if his truck is a '76 then that engine has been there......

 

ahhh... reminds me of my 77. Only in better shape.

Oh, I stand corrected... Sorry! I thought anything older than 79 had the 18R or the other R series motors.

 

well we were both wrong in a way!!! i learn something everyday

 

Up to 79 they offered 18R and 20R my friends 79 4x4 longbed had an 18R stock, untill it threw a rod at like 340k...

 

AHHhh.... finally more 'pre' gens...I'm not alone anymore...I've found a place to call home!

 

Sweet Truck, what engine/tranny? Mine was 20R/3-sp Automatic.

 

buy 840 bags of concrete make a air tight capsule paint the truck get a 50 gallon drum of cosmolean coat the whole thing seal up the capsule and sell it in 50 years

or paint it and enjoy it
