1987 4cyl

just got a new addition

 

Oh man, that thing is awesome. Can you give some more details? Year, front axle type, trans type, mileage, etc... My $$$offer depends on those factors

 

That’s a good lookin truck! I miss my 89 22re 4Runner should have never sold it.

 

That flatbed looks well made. I like it

 

Where are you ? N0 SALT on road I'm sure - here in NJ it's hard to keep a Tacoma - they replace the frame every 8 years. Yours is in beautiful shape.

 

1987, 5speed, 85,000.

 

Nice truck. Makes me sad, I'm about to scrap my '94. NE roadsalt killed it, I repaired the frame twice (once on each side) only to have a bad core in the radiator take out the motor after a headgasket job. Broke my heart, but it was in rough shape anyway.

It's been sitting since 2015, rotting away in my side yard. I just feel bad about scrapping it, but the only good stuff left on it is a MC tube bumper (rear) and the transmission/x-case. Sold off the rest of the good stuff so it can live on in other vehicles. Edit: It died with 235k on the clock.

Keep it clean, it's a beauty!

 

Wow. Only 85,000. That's crazy. Seriously, if you decide to sell it, PM me. My 85 yr old father has a dream in life: own a 4x4 Toyota with those vent (wing) windows, and a flatbed. He has a 95 4x4 Taco and I built a flatbed on it, but those vent windows were dropped when Taco launched.

His current ride, not quite finished, but this one has him in the background:

 

^ Your dad looks great for 85!

 

did it EVER have a rear bumper ....?

 

Nice looking truck, OP! I especially like that flatbed. I emailed Bradford Built months ago asking them if they’ve ever modified, or custom built, one of their beds for a Tacoma. Their answer was “no”, haha, but they were very friendly and said I could drive my truck to them and they’d make something happen. I’m in Texas and they’re not, so that option was out.

Is that a manufacturer’s bed on your truck, or a custom-made one?

 

Honestly couldn't tell you, I picked it up from my father in law who had previously purchased it from someone else. All I know is he said the previous owner had put the flatbed on dont know which is the right choice from that did he put(build himself) the flatbed or buy it prefab and bolted it up lol don't really know. There are no markings on it anywhere that I've seen of a manufacturer stamp? So I couldn't tell you a honest answer about that
