welcome to Yotatech.
owning a first gen is pretty cool.

Trekkers and Trailblazers were from 81-83. some will say there are a couple of 80 trekkers out there and 83's were canada only.
Long bed Trekkers..only one and it was a custom job done by a company in Canada for a guy in Texas..

Half the people on here can't speak English properly...and it's their first language. Don't worry about it.

I have seen them in junk yards and backyards that need a lot of work. There are people that sell them fairly often in Utah. You just need to decide where you want to spend your money, building one or pay somebody else for building one. This looks like a very good place for you to start. Let us know what you really want and I bet it will appear.

Welcome aboard!

Get a running 1rst gen out of CA. AKA California rust free that runs. easier to ship that way. Also any of the dry desert states would be good too.

I have an '87 but the rust makes shipping it there just foolish. get a nice one that is complete and save yourself a lot of trouble.

When buying a boat, always assume that the hull is bad until proven otherwise. Same goes for Yota's-look at the frame first, and if it's rusted, move on.

I have another question, what's a good price for one? I read on different site's a lot of different prices.

From $700 for a car that's runs good until $14,000 for a car what's new build

If it is possible putt a sample too a reply, such as a photo or link to site, so I can indicate as an example of what the state and price ratio is.

The car I have in my head is with the next specifications:

A uncut longbed, with a 3" to 4 " lift, 33 12.50R15 or 31inch like mud tires.

Tips like these sites are also welcome.

Photographs are of a large size so it is very detailed.

I've never seen a 1st generation Toyota truck / pickup / trailer / trailblazer in real life only from photos and movies. That's why I ask so much information and detailed photos.

I just in love with a 1st gen Toyota. It's to bad it cost a lot of money to get it to the Netherlands.

In the last 2 years I've seen only one 1st gen for sale in the Netherlands and was also imported from America. And it cost to much money to buy it, so like 7000 euro thats like 9050 dollar and was also a diesel truck what I don't like at all. It had not a original bed, it had original tires, original springs ans shocks and the interior where incompleet.

And at this moment there is a second gen 1986 for sale, it's a short bed lifted truck with 31/10,50R15 tires and also a diesel 2.4 without a turbo. The price is to bid and is at this moment at 4750 euro (6150 dollar) in a good shape.
