Thanks Terry. Looking forward to getting back into the group. If you need any 79-83 parts, let me know. I still have quite a few body, engine, and interior parts.

Thinking about breaking out the "mud monster" and throwing a good body on it

That is a great looking 2nd gen in the picture. The bed on the 1st gen looks extremely long.

Thanks Terry. Yep, the p/o stretched it out and put a massive suspension system under it. I bought it for the engine which i put in my 86 4 runner.

I do. 2 sets of door, one set has full windows, other set has wing windows. I have a good hood and also some dash parts. Also an sr5 steering wheel that needs to be rewrapped

Hey flg8r22, its one of your earliest posts but what did you use to media blast your frame. Im considering getting a pressure pot that I can later convert to work for my cabinet but first using it to blast the frame. Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks.

I used a heavy glass on the bad parts of the frame and a medium glass on the rest. It cleaned it up well. Just made a huge mess. I bought the media from a supplier in Georgia. IIRC I went through 2 bags doing the frame, springs, and axles.

Good to know! Thanks!
