    Dad bought a 83 with a flat bed for $200 and decided to restore as a father son project. Its going to be his new work/hunting truck. Took about a year to complete as an after work hobby. It came with a buss up old flat bed and we couldn't find a stock one in good shape so my dad decided to fab his own





    Brought it home



    Interior



    Flat be removed


    Cab off



    Old Toyota stock wheels off 4runner cleaned up

    Inside of new flat bed























    Mom reupholstered seats



    Bumper installed not painted yet




    Mud flaps on


    Bumper painted


    Pyrite mica came out not bad for a home paint job


    Decals on





    Cut and modified decals to fit bed



    Other old school Toyota build my dad got in his garage. Original owner 36,000miles

    Mahalo! I gotta get back to you on the roof liner my dad picked that up. I actually didn't want to do the decals on the bed at first it was my dads idea, glad we did it now.
