Good looking rig.

Here a old pic of my dads truck. The specs are 79 hilux, 4" lift, dual weber carbs with about 230 hp. He wheeled this truck since new for ten years. He took it out just about every weekend to go wheeling.

thanks I paid a 100 bucks for them, they are 70's turbines 15x10's paid another 125 to have them glass beaded and you can see the results, They looked bad from 40 years of stains but turned out perfect. I wanted to keep the old school alive.
