80's Toyota Pickup

I appreciate the help though. The toyotas in my town are usually bought within days and shipped to Guatemala or Mexico. Kind of tough when there tons of them

 

Just remember you are going to drop at least a 1000 bucks on seat covers, a few parts for the rear suspension and a case of wd40 to get every nut and bolt covered for 2 weeks before even attempting to turn one on that truck.

 

Yup, but hopefully it will last me for years to come.

 

OP what do you want to do with this one? DD, side project, etc?

 

Try and restore it. Do you guys know if separating the frame from the car easier on these models?

 

Everything is 6 bolts on these trucks. Take a hammer to the frame and tap around. Especially by shock mounts, hangers, engine mounts, and cab mounts. Spend some time crawling around under it looking for problematical areas.

 

Sounds good. How do you go about removing rust and painting it.

 

For me, flap disk, time, prep, paint.

 

Here's my current rebuild. New engine with dual fuel propane kit is up next. Cant wait!

 

Soda blasting. they will come to your house, do it in the driveway. Then the rain will dissolve the soda

 

You mean like Coke or Pepsi ??

 

Mtn Dew!!!!!

 

Lol..
I know it eats battery corrosion and shines up chrome. Did not know they treated frames that way.

 

They compress it into beads and blast it out of a hose at about 30 psi. Much easier on the base substrate than sand blasting
