Smile It is a runner!

Well I fixed the fuel pump and now she is a runner.
Now the next problem is the clutch she slips really bad.
I have really grown to like this truck. being a ford guy all my life that is a hard thing to say.
now I just want to restore it back to stock except for the tires(I want 31x10.5s)and a true posi.
Is there a restoration shop that sells resto parts for toyota's?
only $250 and counting but she is a runner I'm so happy

I want to get new decals and the original bumbers and various trim pieces.
The truck is in really good shape so not much is needed. And I posted pictures before in the gallery. but I am going to get more.

Let me think about it I have someone that wants to buy them but I want a rear bumper as well.
also thanks for the compliments guys.
I had my daughter clean up the door panels and passenger seat today and they look like brand new. I am enjoying this truck way too much.lol

well here is an update; the motor has oil pressure and the valves are ajusted properly but there is a noise like a loose rocker arm but the valve train is fine. soooo I am thinking wrist pin who knows.
but now the bad news I need to sell it cause I lost my job and I need the money
the truck itself is sound and the interior is good but I don't know what to ask for it any suggestions???????
