    First motor I ever built was a 22R(E) in my 85 4Runner. Put about 1k miles on it, then my dog and I drove the northern route cross-country in November. Picked that truck up for $700.

    Nope. I got rear ended and my tailgate was irreparable. People directed me towards a fab shop and part finder. Loving this forum so far :)

    What hilarious about your post is that the second owner restored this Pickup for his wife, and the wife didn't want it because it was manual. :rofl:

    Hopefully, if I'm not totally broke and I can afford parts I'll start a build thread. I won't do anything crazy to it, I promise.

    Nice truck! Is that an old crystal door handle for the shift knob?

    Amazing color too. The whole thing looks sooo clean!

    I’ve already blown our money & went into overdraft ....

    Thanks! You bet it's a door handle. It makes an annoying rattle so it's going away eventually.
