1979 Toyota Pickup Build
 

This is my 79 toyota pickup. It was converted to the square head lights in my opinion i like it better. But the story goes, I was looking for a used tranny for my 89 Toyota pickup and one of my buddies new a guy who had some . So sitting in his yard was this mess. I had been looking for a while for something cheap to throw together and build up a wheeler. Although it was a mess for 800 bucks and two complete 22r engines i couldn't pass it up.

This is how she sat when i found her

Set some wheels under it and brought it home

As for most of these old pickups the rust inside the floor pan wasnt to bad

After the engine was in and running the rear work begun, sanding and prepping for paint . Decided to go with the easily paintable white . Not to sure how im feeling the bobbed bed right now . Was on it already when i found it. But eventually one day ill throw a normal size one on there!

Wow! Nice find for that price and two motors. Good job on the paint too. Was it a single stage job? Im looking do that to mine one day, my friends have the equipment for it I can use. Love the way it looks lifted. Keep up tje good work!

Great looking truck. Its a wonder what a little elbow grease and time can produce

looks amazing! def gonna be a wheeler by any means, wish i could find something like that

Thanks Everyone! it has been quite the project . @83toyota88 The paint was single stage industrial paint that i picked up at my local parts store . The paint was very cheap. I think it cost like 18 bucks for the gallon

Just saw this on the Seattle CL and I knew I had seen on here! Why are ya sellin'?

I am just Testing waters to see what I can get offered for it .

Decided against the All Pro Springs , Sat around and though about how much im going to wheel this thing and decided it was very little and i wasnt to happy with how big the 6in springs were.
