Sannoman's 1983 2WD Pickup Build-Up Thread
So I got really into old Toyotas around April 2010. So I started looking at my Dad's old 1983 2wd. It was used for a trash holder. (Biggest Mistake Ever) So I got it started after sitting there for almost a year. 
I was pretty excited, so i started working on it. I will take any advice and opinions on it. =)
Here she is when I started.

I want to get an entire new bottom for the bed... I know some people that will give me a good deal. Basically all I'm doing is just redoing everything on it...

So today I've done alot to the truck. I put new gas lines in and i put the bed back on after about 4 1/2 months.
Pics before the bed came on.
Pics with bed on
Bolts I used to mount bed.
The bed was alot easer to put on than i thought it was.
