    '85 Pick-up
    I'm still driving my 1985 Toyota Pick-up. I'm finally giving into my wives pleas and have decided to buy another truck. Truthfully, it is getting to look a little rough. I'm here to learn more and help with my decision of what to get.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    I'll see what I can do about posting a picture or two. The truck has definitely seen better days, but it still keeps on going.
