new guy here from tennessee.just found the site.looking for a lil info on doin a v8 swap on my 87 reg cab short bed yota.got the truck off a buddy who got it off a old man.i saw it when he picked it up and the truck's body was perfect.no rust anywhere interior was perfect as well minus a small crack in the dash pad.still has the factory jack behind the seat and the factory toyota radio.since i got it i tinkered with it and noticed a few spots popping up on the body where it was wanting to start rusting from the factory paint chipping off.so i decided to sand it down and rattle can it.then got into fixin it up a bit here lately since i got some bills paid up,and thought hmmmm always wanted to do a v8 swap so why not this truck?
