Gidday from New Zealand. Sweet Lux I picked up a few weeks ago, 1980 LWB 18R 4spd with a Kiwi classic flatbed.
PO put a lot of time and effort into cleaning and painting her, I kinda feel bad for buying it
She does have all her inside trim but the door cards and dash cap are ratty as.

 

Looks like you have a great start on a restoration. Congrats

 

Just got it finished restored.

 

 

Picked up this pile in Colorado, it's pretty Frankenstein, with a Ford v8 from a 98 Explorer, and a 5 speedand transfer case from a 95 4runner, some 35" Goodyear MTR's, and a hacked together interior with auto meter guages and Recaro seats.
It's pretty fun, but needs some work to be dependable and nice looking.
Luckily, it isn't too rusty relative to almost all of the older yotas I've seen around Tennessee and Kentucky.

 

Nice!
Any Idea where those front fenders came from? Slacker maybe? (Toyotafiberglass)
They look good and I should really get new front fenders.

 

I like the fenders, too, but I don't know where they came from. My friend that I traded with bought the truck as you see it from a pawn shop for $2 grand, and I traded a worn out old 4 cylinder jeep wrangler for it. I'm still sorting through and figuring out what parts it has so I can keep it running. I think it has potential to be a pretty good offroad/camping rig that I can explore in the mountains with and not have to abuse my Tacoma. I'm hoping to repaint it with the smooth Duraback bedliner stuff, because their orange is really close to the original color of this truck.

 

Updated one after the 4.3/TH350 swap

 

Dude, that ^ is awesome!

Mine is looking a little skanky at the moment

 

I have an old cab and some doors I'll make you a killer deal on

 

yup .. those are my fenders

 

What kinda deal on the doors?

 

Cool! Man, these are quite nice. Thank you for offering neat stuff for these old trucks. One day this pile will be pretty nice, and worthy of such cool fenders haha.

 

David's baby

 

We've almost got my buddies 81 on the road. 3" RC lift is sitting stupid high lol... This truck will be used to get to logging sites and that's about it. Some of you may know how rough that can be lol

 

Looking good and understand about the lift. I used to take my 81 into the mountains of Washington (loggging/power line roads) and you never know what kind of stuff you'll run into

 

I just picked up a1980 Toyota 4x4 for 800 bucks this is the day I brought it home ( well to My gfs house)

 

I can see some rust bubbling up under that paint job, but still, for a MN truck, not bad!

 

Man what a sweet deal! Curious, is the trailer in the back for hauling an aircraft carrier? Holy cow that thing looks wide!

 

Probably snowmachines.
