PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

It used to be blue, but he repainted it "Harley Orange" and installed a stereo that was probably worth as much as the van itself...

He still had it when I got my driver's license, but he wouldn't let me drive it. After two years of bugging my uncle to teach how to drive stick, he finally took me out in the van's replacement (a 1991 Toyota pickup, see below) and I mastered it in less than 20 minutes!

 

That is so funny cause the guy I worked with had the Blue also!

 

What year was his? I know my uncle bought at least one of his shop vehicles in Ohio...

Also, the Caravan DID NOT have A/C. The '91 Toyota pickup didn't originally have it either, but he installed an A/C system from a wrecked '94 Toyota pickup and it was pretty much plug and play. It did have A/C by the time that picture was taken...

As you can see, my uncle likes orange. He has since sold the '91 Toyota pickup and has 2009ish Ranger that he also painted orange!

 

I wish I could remember, but it was back in the late 80s early 90s timeframe.

 

And this was in Ohio? Possibly the same van!

 

No, that was back in Pittsburgh, not sure how long he kept it.

 

Even better! Actually in Pennsylvania! Did his have A/C or no?

 

I really cannot remember.

 

My uncle's van was really stripped, thought probably a special order since it was a stick shift. It had fairly low miles for being about 20 years old, but he added the stereo and wheels, and painted it...

 

Was the engine out in those pics as it looks like its sitting kinda high?

 

No, not that I'm aware of...

Something had to be powering the stereo!

 

May have been written by the same people that claim a Diesel Engine will be in the Tacoma next year. Looks like the 5.0 is around at least thru 2020 when a new V8 is rumored to take over.

Found these for sale online; supposed to be an exact match for my emblems...



Yay or nay?

 

I love those things, but only wanted to do the tailgate, down low. Gray on silver. I could not find that exact set online/ebay, but haven't looked for a while. got a link? The font does look a tad off to me on the V6 and SR5.

Edit: actually, that is missing the 4 wheel drive. Placement like this, withtou the big TOYOTA.

LOL, the quality of the "V6" and "SR5" logos does not bother me because I have a 5-lug RC!

 

BAH! I was all about the SR5 V6 and 4 wheel drive.

 

My truck was a gift from my dad almost nine years ago, when I got my learner's permit. 83K miles later and she shows no signs of slowing down!
