A friend of mine decided last month that instead of selling this truck to strangers, he was going to give it to me instead. I graciously accepted.
We decided to name him carl. lol i dont know why but it was funny.

this is where he's been sitting for the last 2 yrs infront of my friends parents place.


He wanted to keep his wheels so i brought the old set my 85 came on.

also attached the inner walls of the bed off the 85 to a pallet and attached that onto the frame to cover up all the mess that was the frame haha.



might put the 85 bumper behind this mess. and re attach some mud flaps.

 

What a generous friend you have there. Good luck in restoring the truck.

 

wow .. nice score ! free is always good !


.

 

motor runs just need to fix this no clutch pressure issue. then see if it mooooooves.

 

Slacker. Did you make the mold for the 1st gen bumper?

 

i thing carl is an awesome name for a truck lolz

 

fixed the clutch and broke the rear axle loose so he moves around now. and painted and cut some things






looks a little more like a rig.

 

not yet .. sorry


.

 

me and my lights will hang in suspense then haha

 

had a little time on sunday. put the 2 inch spacers in the rear and 1/4 spacers in the front, a little more painting. fixed some gross wiring. put a light under the hood with a switch and a little bit of spool for fun

 

Nice Yota. How much engine work was done and how does it run?

 

brakes and slave were locked when i got it. i put gas in it and it started. runs and now drives. smokes a bit. less when warm. p/o says it heats up after a long drive. so coolant flush and a new carb would be nice.

 

sold. and parted out,
goodbye carl.
