I surprised to see no rust on the bed although it is faded out more than the rest of the truck.Its in decent shape though interior needs some work has cracked dash,ripped seats and needs a real good cleaning.. It reads 232xxx miles on it right now.. Its my first project I'm really exited to get started..

OK, where was this pic taken, Halls? or Clinton? I saw you/your rig this past Saturday on Western Ave. next to the Pilot. Had I been in my Runner, I'd blown the horn. Mine was the one at the pumps with the 2 mattresses on top.

 

ha!

this was in halls, but yeah... I was driving down western ave on saturday

nice to see/hear of someone else local to me

 

I had pointed your rig out to my son who was with me, and the first thing he asked me was "Do you think is on Yotatech?"

We will have to get together sometime for a trial run. There are a couple more Yota owners down in Cleveland and Chattanooga. Even more in GA. Heck, I'm just happy to start having more locals.

 

Hey Im in chattanooga not too far from you guys... I just bought a 87 ext cab saturday morning in cleveland

 

lol... im just now begining to get active on here since im actually making progress on the truck.

Engine bay before rebuild





Cab when I first got it. I'm almost done with the rewiring. Electrical was a nightmare. I still have to figure out how to get the speedometer to work

One is an 86 SR5 and the other is an 88 plain Jane. Just got Softtoppers for both too! Yay!

 

That thing is awesome. You don't see many pre-'79 pickups around here.
