Im gettin ready to start with the buildup of my 85. im not 100% ready to start just yet, but im looking to get prices and stuff to see what this stuff will cost and if i find a good deal im willing to just buy it now anyway

so heres what im looking for at the moment:

black front bumper (not the chrome)

black front grille (the 3-slat grille, from the 84-86 trucks, not the 87-88 grille with the single slat in the center, and also black)

corner parking lamps w/black trim

2 front fenders (any color i guess)

the corner bumper things that go from the front bumper and wrap around to the fenders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

if you have black passengers side non-towing-style mirror, shoot me a price for that too i dont really need it now, but if i could get a good price, i might consider buying one now

 

If parts from an '85 4runner will work, I have a black front bumper (end pieces off of it-but still have them), black grill, and 2 front fenders rust free. But I'm in Alabama, not sure if you want to ship something that big.

 

^^^definatly ingterested man, shoot me a pm and we'll see if we can figure something out

 

Finally honouring your redneck deathtrap's years of service with a resto, eh?

I have a spare passenger mirror. It might be flaking-off chrome though. I actually have several, if I have an extra black one it's yours, but I think I only have one and as you can see in my avatar I need it.

I also have the wings for the 4wd bumper, took them off a 4wd bumper I plan on using until I am good enough with the welding to make myself something nice. I think one is mangled and one is in decent shape.

Same thing with the marker lamps, I have a spare set but they might not be black-rimmed; you could always just paint them that way. I -think- for at least some years that the 4wds and 2wds used the same markers because I don't think I have to change mine when I put on 4wd fenders. The sockets need some love and the lenses need a good polish.

I'll take pics of these bits and post them if you send me a reminder pm on the weekend so you can see if they're the right versions of what you need. You can have it all for the cost of shipping as the parts are just sitting there and probably won't get used.

 

I have just about everything you need. I'm in PA (philly) so you could come get it. $50 and you can have all the stuff. The grille is from a 2wd truck, but is mounted on an 84 4WD. The fenders have the infamous fender well rot, but could be patched or cut for bigger meats.

 

hey lubr, sounds like a deal. I'll take a ride up there and see what you have. i may pass on the grille and fenders, but i'll check them out first. i'll shoot you a pm and we will figure something out
