1979 Toyota Pickup 4WD

Just restored my dads truck, he was the original owner of it. Just have a few things left to do to it, but the majority is complete

Thank you everyone! It took over a year to finish. I'm still missing an original front bumper, the one that's on there now is a 2WD

Right on. Please post some pics

Can you tell me more about those wheels and caps? Hard to tell from the pics, but I like them a ton. Are they early FJ40 wheels?

The wheels themselves are the original ones that came with my truck, the caps on the other hand I purchased them on eBay a few years ago. They prolly do fit a Land Cruiser too.
