81tonka's 81 shortbed 4x4 Build Up thread

ok here goes. this is my first post so bear with me. I picked up an 81 4x4 base model on a whim not knowing anything about 4x4 or toyotas. I am used to 2wd street cars that go 1/4 mile at a time. I will post pics as I go. first thing I needed was a battery and clutch. next was time to remove rattle can primer and bondo to prep for ureathane primer.

I fixed the img code on some of your pics..be sure to hit return after you copy and paste each pic..

Bright red or a light blue would look good to me.

I think a dark green would look good
