pretty sweet
what all have you done to it

 

I'm liking it man!

 

Im digging the old school 3 spokes!

Any plans for color? Or are you going to leave it shaggy? I think a new coat of that peanut butter would be rad.

 

lays frame. bagged w/ a 3 link. trailer fenders up front. "relocated" toyota letters in tailgate. shaved dash insert panel. split bench w/ armrest from a 88 hilux sr5. restored speaker cut-outs in lower door panels. shaved inner/outer door locks. shaved markers. shaved cab vents. shaved sr5 emblems. shaved wiper post (left the cowl vents). -- im sure im forgetting something........

here are a few more pics.

 

ps- sorry the chassis is all rusty... we are primering it this week. i just havent felt like wire weeling all the surface rust.

 

they are actually 6 spoke wheels (elite vipers). 3 chrome and 3 painted

 

love the tailgate man thats pretty creative

 

forgot to add this to the other reply.... the paint will be purple. i had a truck EXACTLY like this back in 1992 when i was in high school. i kept the stainless bar grille (seen in pics) from the old truck and i also kept the hood that had a 90s mural on it. over 17 years later and the hood still looks brand new thanks to it hanging on the wall all these years! :wink:

here are some pics of my old truck and also the old hood on my "new" truck

 

the guy who welded in the letters butchered a few of the letters...

FYI - im looking for a toyota stamped tailgate. ANY condition gate as long as 75% of the letters are good. all i need are the letters cut from the gate and mailed to me in an envelope so lemme know if you know where one is. THANKS!!!

 

Haha! Nice I didn't even notice.

 

It sure looks great man, I'm diggin that look! Gives me hope for mine heheh

 

DUDE....do you still need that bumper?! its been in my garage for years.

 

HOLY **** MAN! long time no chat.... i lost your number and i got banned from SSm so ive been out of the loop. my email is [email protected] . hit me up!

 

Alright dude.. Youre my main motivation man! I wont be laying frame but I plan to be at a 6/7 static drop. Im going to keep it old school/classic on the exterior and new school in the interior. I know it was a year and half for you so Im on the same time frame. I got my 82 last December and I hope to have as my other daily by summer. If you get a chance check out my 82 project here on TM.

 

nothing wrong with static

 

i emailed you with no reply. do you want it or should i sell it on here/locally?

 

sorry bro. email got lost in my damn blackberry.

email sent.

 

i get lost on this forum. hit me up w/ a link.

btw- if you are going static you should consider 84-88 drop leaf springs and 84-88 spindles and brakes.

 

Dont worry about because Im computer savvy and I get lost too. If you hit the search feature and you type in 1982 you will the list of threads. My threads are the ones that say (New $300 Toyota and Pt.4 Progress) and it will show pics of how I started and where Im at now.
