Your truck is an 84 isn't it steele? Wrong section, but i cant say i haven't wanted to post up in here just so i could get some action. These forums are dead nowadays

 

oh ˟˟˟˟! lol i didnt catch the year part. sorry man.

 

My old 93 v6 auto 176,000 miles paid $250 in almost mint condition put about another $500 exhaust tires stering parts ect. Put 3000 miles on it beat the s**t out of it ran it on 2 stroke pre mix (c12!!!) and junk car drain gas. Almost wore out the rev limiter lol sold it for $500 kept the cd player, rear spoiler, and center caps. By far the best $250 i have ever spent.

 

i need to find a rig like that for those days when you have nothing to do.

 

My old 89 v6 200,000 mi 5 speed rotted to the tail lights. paid $100 killed it in 3 months parted it out and made $500 i still have peices of it lol By far the best $100 i ever spent.

 

Another 89 sr5 v6 speed 200,000 miles paid $400 and made $800 turned in to a truggy but the something electrical went south so we cut it up before we could beat it.

 

Poor truck...

In Maryland, an '85 in that condition for $3000 is a steal!

 

Agree $3000 is half of what its worth in new england.

 

Yeah, not everyone's cup'o'tea, right? Lol. .......

Annnnnd,.... u want that 85? I'll pick it up and store it for ya....... needs rear end, full axle rebuild up front, reseal up lots of the motor, paint is pretty much gone on the hood and roof, couple tiny rust holes outside part of the bed.... Mayyyybe a motor rebuild within 10-60k, but runs really good for now.... 22R 5spd. Dont get me wrong.. for a keeper? MAYBE. But to turn around, here in L.A.?

 

I paid $3000 for my '85, it had/has rust issues... but it was mechanically sound when I bought it.

 

You could hop in that truck and drive to ct and sell it as is for at least $4000-$5000. Dam I need to take a road trip lol.

 

In CT if the frame isn't rotted its clean. If it has a bed its nice. If it has the bed that came on it from the factory its mint. You guys on the west coast are sooooo lucky.

 

Thanks chef...Bought this bad boy brand new in oct 89 from long beach toyota...Original owner was my father...Best gift ive ever had... Been cruising the streets of LB ever since...Almost got stolen about 14 years ago...The cab window has been busted out ever since...Also not a single problem from this veezee...Except he gets quite thirsty sometimes...

 

hang in there lookin for the right truck, there's hidden jewels out there. I got mine for $3k straight body, no rust, no mechanical issues, just bad bushings so it squeaks like hell. $600 lift included. new tires. so keep lookin you'll find something totally worth it

 

Even if it takes seven truck's to realize which one you want haha

 

Towed the quads for the first time today.
