I hate you all Up on Vancouver Island, I would feel bad for the owner paying anything less that $6000 for that. Its all so expensive here

I can see why he wants to sell it, the '80s mini truck look isn't really in style anymore. The dump bed could be useful I guess but that convertible top is hideous.

If ya do end up getting take some more close up pics so we can all bask in its glory.

Make sure the dump bed is actually able to lift some weight and not just a weak little hydraulic cylinder thats only for show...

That dump bed really would not be all that useful. Look where the lift is, it's all show not really a good "work" truck. The top is kinda of a neat idea, I have seen a few like that before not Toys though.
