85 TOYOTA possible purchase
A co-worker of mine is selling his 85 toyota 4x4 truck for $200. He said has a blown headgasket. I'm thinking of buying it, but is it worth it? Do I have to take the heads to a shop? Replace all the headbolts? etc..
So if anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

is it a V6 ??
if so that 3.0 may have experienced the common 3.0 problems like eating headgaskets
if it is the v6, body in good condition, yada yada, i would take it, yes take the heads to a shop to be resurrfaced, and i believe you would need to use diff headbolts

Hell, any Toyota for $200 is a steal, assuming it isn't rusted all over, and will still run.
I don't think they had the v6 back in '85. If so, then you will have an easier job replacing that. Yeah, you gotta do all the work you just listed...
