    So I picked up this 87 model from my father in law. It was his sisters before it just started sitting in his back yard for who knows how long. The 22r isn’t locked up and a buddy of mine said he got it to run shortly on starting fluid. I want to get it running and just have something to tinker on. Is there a good place to find the front end parts like the grill and corner lights? 21ED25C9-2C7A-432E-ABCF-AF662A999573.jpg B71DE3FA-21D7-44AD-B174-DBAD9E58A6E1.jpg

    I found quite a bit on carpart.com already. I’ve filled up a couple of carts online for this lil truck already. Just need the wallet to agree with it

    Wow that’s great, you’re going to really enjoy tinkering with that little truck. I had major damage to the front of my 86, I found parts on eBay, upull it and a local place that sells aftermarket parts.

    Unfortunately I haven’t had any extra cash to throw at it until lately. I’m getting a battery and some radiator hoses this weekend. Maybe some brake pads. Then I’ll be looking for tires.

    Take your time have fun with it!!! It took me years to get the parts and motivation to get my truck all sorted out!
