thinking about

I am thinking about getting this truck for my trail/off road rig.

I was curious if anyone has any thing in particular to look out for when purchasing a toy of that age and condition I.E. frame rust etc.. I will going to see this truck in person on Saturday 10/25/08 so anything you guys could recommend i would greatly appreciate

 

damn I've been looking for something exactly like that. Get It!!!

 

thanks! i know i couldn't believe it when i came across it this is my favorite year ^im just worried about the frame but..... i I run an engineering dept at a sheet metal shop and i think we can rebuild the whole frame

 

WOW! that's a really good idea and $1500 is still pretty cheap but i think i could build it cheaper. i get free labor, at cost material prices etc.. but before i get to excited i will have to report back here what i find out saturday morn. (pics!) I have contacted the seller and set up an appointment so wish me luck! I cant wait to rescue a beat up toy and breath some life into her again

 

hell yeah That's EXACTLY what im thinking

 

The high school I graduated from last year rebuilt the back half of a 1984
it was not to hard and it turned out good

 

Damn that looks like a pretty good deal a buddy of mine had an 83 that he use for a beater and he sold it for 800 but this thing had been put through hell. We had the rear quarter panels zip tied on it smoked like a train lol

but none the less it did say toyota so it always got us where we need to go
