And a plane ticket?

 

If I could afford one, youd already be down here!

 

Alright so how much are you going to want for the runner? Or one of the trucks? Is the runner SA up front? I'm thinking this could get fun fast let me know or PM me.

 

All of them are SA up front....

Runner most likely in a couple of months, or immediately, all depends.... I'll PM ya...

I dont think I'm going to sell either truck... I'm keeping one, and im not sure what will be left when im done...

 

Interested in Runner when you decide what you are going to do

 

Since we are already getting interest in the 85, PM me if you're interested and we can talk. Its for sale now, and will be until its sold. Right now its not running and driving but has all the parts to get it there. I will be working on it to get to that point, but as I do the price will reflect it....

 

Picture Time!!!!

1st up: The 84 Pickup parts truck...

 

Next up, the 84 Reg Cab I'm keeping, with a teaser of the Runner....








Never mind the paper towels, I've been working here....

 

And finally the 85 4Runner:

 

I think the 84 pickup and 85 runner will clean up pretty nicely.... These pics are what they looked like when I first brought them home, I've already started working.

You'll notice the runner needs a motor and tranny. Went to work on the parts truck to check out the motor, but found this (after some work):

Note the rust in the cylinders... Its not bad, but not good enough for a quicky....

So I started rummaging around in the back of the 84 I'm keeping and found these (there are 2 motors):


Tried to spin the long block, froze up. Moved onto the short block, spun freely... flopped it over and looked at it, it looked good. Now its sitting in my garage waiting for the teardown...


While I'm doin that I'm going to have a buddy of mine go through a head and get it all ready to bolt on when I'm ready!

 

Haha I woulda swore we broke that little red wagon carrying those blue totes to your backyard last time i was there....

Cool projects though. Have to come up and see 'em in person sometime.

 

We did. I brought it back to life again! Your welcome anytime Keith!

 

I'm surprised there's no duct tape anywhere. That 84 you're keepign doesn't look bad at all. The 85 is rougher than I was hoping (which is good since I won't try and do something stupid). But please send me hi-res pics just in case

At least Gary and I will get to sell you some Yota parts out of this! Too bad we threw away all those headlights, I see you need one.

And if you can avoid taking anything important out of the parts truck, turn it into a buggy for wheeling.

Cory, what is it with you and wagons? Your broke your mom's wagon, you broke your lil'red wagon....

 

The 85 isnt rough really, just dirty. Its actually cleaner than the 84 I'm keepin. The parts truck probably wont have buch left... I thought about turning it into a wheelin rig, but most likely all that will be left is most of a body, a frame, a broke front axle, and a SA rear axle.... no motor, no tranny, and not much of an interior. Parts from the front of it are finishing up the 85...

I'm workin on cleanin up the 85 today and I'll get pics up after I'm done....

 

nice find. like everybody and their brother i have been looking for an 85 truck. i get depressed when i think about how long i have been looking for one.( wiping tears) good luck with all your new projects

 

Thank you. I'll keep an eye out for ya as well. The guy I bought these off of had a 85 ext cab 4WD truck for himself that was pretty slick. He was going to fix it up....

If you werent set on a pickup, I'd sell ya this runner.....

I also havent forgotten about that grille piece, I just had to get all these trucks moved first...

 

I want more pics of the 85 it's looking like it could be freaking sweet.

 

Soon as I get it all cleaned up, I'll get more pics.

 

I started working on cleaning up the exterior of the 85 while taking a break from building the motor for it... heres a couple pics. I figure the motor should be done by the end of the month at the latest.

Also, note I didnt clean up the tailgate or the hood.. just the side... more to come!
