    Like title says. Got a used 1983 toy pickup. I live in anchorage. Looking for a good mechanic with old school Toyota knowledge. Looking to tastefully restore it and lightly mod it. Now rush, but a bit here and there.
    who’s in anchorage anyone can recommend to rebuild parts/engine.

    Wow that looks to be in good shape. You shouldn't bother trying to find a mechanic, those trucks are nothing but trouble. I'm willing to take it off your hands because I like you! :)

    Really though, nice truck!

    Thanks all.... :hattip:
    it’s actually for my wife’s 40th in a few weeks. She always was an fj40 gal. But she needed a man with x3 the pocket book for one of those in great condition :ballchain:

    got it outa Cali, Wright way should have it up here in a few weeks. Will post my own pics once here.

    once again... engine builder or great garage mechanic in anchorage.????
    why does it feel like I’m trying to find her a pool boy for this truck. :rofl:

    2 Places I'd recommend.

    1. GTF in Anchorage - Green tree fabrication, located close to Kendall Toyota in Anchorage. Tell Dan I sent you and he will likely laugh.
    2. Cruiser's Only - Mark Whatley out of Wasilla owns the place and specializes in Land Cruisers, kind of a hermit but very knowledgeable.
