It definitely is very clean for being in the midwest. The Frame has the Typical Scale and needs removed, but overall in great shape.

I will try to get more pics of the Interior.

Thanks Terry. Very true. They are usually rotted out or very beat up.

I put your new runner in one of the Bays. Getting ready to pull the engine tomorrow. We should easily have it out and on a stand before class is over.

Most of the work was done by the local Toyota Dealer in Arkansas . The previous owner even gave my boss an entire stack of receipts. Crazy.

Here are some pics I took.

Haha. I know! I dont know how I found this one. I told my boss that he needed to jump on this one or it would be sold very fast.

I still cant believe how clean this thing is. I wish my runner was this clean!

That PU is great. At first I thought you stole Terry87's newly painted truck. What did your boss pay for it? It looks like one of those high dollar eBay finds.

Haha, Thanks Nervo19, I like restoring trucks but my favorites are the true original trucks and I am envious of that truck. One thing that I don't feel so bad about doing some things different on my trucks is that they were headed for the junk yard when I got them.

Hey Mark...On the third picture, just in front of the rock guard, there is a blister of paint. I am not knocking the truck and really like, but wanted to let the owner know that he needs to remove the panel on the inside of the bed and there will be some debris that is holding moisture and causing it to rust there. Unfortunately some of the bolts that hold the interior panels do tend to break if he goes to try and clean it out. He has a great truck.

Nice find! I really, really want to get an extended cab 2nd gen pickup someday! That thing is clean!

Have you done any work on your red turbo runner?

Hey Terry! Thanks for the heads up. He saw it the night that he bough it. Knowing him.....He will want to take care of it sooner than later.

If I didnt need the room in the back for my boys, I would have one like this.

I really havent done much to the Turbo one. I am actually trying to sell it. Have not had any bites on it yet.

I have lockers. Aussie lunchbox locker in the front and a Detroit ratcheting in the rear.

Next on the list is new bumpers, winch bumper for the front, and tire carrier for the rear.

I also am getting 35's. Just need a little bit of extra funds to buy the 4th tire.

Ah nice. Im curious how that detroit compares to the spartan on the street. And also how the aussie feels in the front on the rocks. If steering is tough. Im buying my 35's from yournexttire.com they're in firth nebraska I think I told you about em before. They got some good deals!
