I now own this truck. I'm in the process of cleanin her up and changing the style alittle bit. Ill have pics up along the way

 

Sweet! Make a build thread!

 

pretty sure hes taking over this one, already gave him permission

 

Let's see some pics!!!
PS; I used to live in Yakima, small world, lol, seems like there's a lot more guys into Yotas in that area than where I live now, I was always buying, sellin and trading parts to guys I met off CL when I lived down there, lol.


Hey Curtis, what have you been up to, still wrenching on your 81' yota?

 

actually no ed, i sold that about 2 weeks ago, driving a 82 datsun 720 almost exactly like the one i rolled back in june

 

Since Ive had the truck Ive replaced the badly smashed windshield, replaced the worn out first gen shifter, power steering belt, and the thermostat along with some other tiny things. I went to put the new thermostat in today and checked my oil while I was at it. Found out it was bone dry. I tracked down the leaks on the oil pressure guage line and the rear of the valve cover. I also found out why the powersteering pump was making an awful squeal. Turns out Im missing two bolts on the top of the pulley bracket. Ill have pictures up tomorrow

 

well made some progress today. Filled her back up with oil and fixed the power steering squeal. Truck runs fine now and the heater is blowin nice and warm. Still have a small oil leak but just gonna live with it until I change the oil again. Got some pictures but lost my usb cord so will try to have them up tomorrow. Found a 3/8" deep wear mark on the top of the valve cover where the breather has been rubbing. Ordered a new breather for it that doesn't rest on the valve cover like the old one. Gonna go down tomorrow and get a stud for the exhaust manifold so it will queat leaking out of the header. Ill snap some more pics tomorrow and try my best to have them up
