I'm having a hard time finding a decent Longbed, mines rested through on the sides in a few places.. Its all I need to get and then I can get painting.. I'm almost to the point of using bondo and just painting it until I can find a decent one on CL.
Nice 1st gen beds are hard to find.. nice 1st gen longbeds are even harder.
I also need a tan/brown drivers side door panel.
I have clear turn signals on my truck, if they weren't cracked I'd trade them for some amber ones in a heartbeat.

HI, my name is jon. I just did a sas swap on my 94 toyota pickup. I ended up putting a 1980 solid axle under my truck well i want to up date my brake rotors, but iam finding it a bit difficult to up date my rotors to vented rotors. I did some research and found out the jf40 rotors would work on the old 1980 axle it that true? Iam new to posting questions on yotatech so I dont quite know how to post stuff. my name on the site is jonwaynester if that helps, or you can just email me at jonwaynester@gmail.com. I really am having a hard time being able to up date my braking system and suggestions will be greatly appreaciated

thanks for the help and the suggestions. i also found out from one of the guys in the off road club that iam in, I can swap out the spindles from a newer solid axle. i have my eye on a 83 toy, so hopfuly eveything will go good with swap. I wish I would have known that the brake up grade would be difficult but possible

I just did the swap last week on my 79 and ended up finding the right rotors at Napa, the part # is NB 4885678. They are the correct ones with only 6 holes that bolt to the back of the hub assembly. They were only $59 a piece and look to be really good quality(made in Japan). You can look them up on their website. IFS calipers bolted right on and everything lined up.

I know this thread is kinda old, but I'm having one heck of a time locating the shifter boots that bolt to the floor of a '79 Hilux (I found replacement ones for the tranny & t-case at Marlin Crawler) and all the used ones I've seen are age cracked. Any help?

You may be in luck since Toyota still sells many parts for the '79. I wish I was as lucky with my '74.

I would be interested in a trade , but i'm a little hesatent .
seats are perfect .. no rips or tears anywhere , just need a good clean !
but I hesitate only because they are Trekker originals .. (potentially worth lots $$ ) I know this dosnt matter to you , with a regular cab truck , but like the 84+ 4Runners , the Trekker had a filp forward seat track
talk about RARE PARTS
it's my only hesatation .
