    Someone you might know that my friend and I was in the search of a Toyo to start a new project.

    Well, we picked up Chris's clean Toyo this past weekend.

    My friend is quick. He's already ordered bunch of parts for the truck...
    He put on some 18" wheels that he had laying around. With some minor modification...the wheels fitted perfect.

    I would call your local glass shop. They should be able to order one in. Thator a scrap yard but id be cautious about them. The glass might be scratched due to abuse or it could be damaged while it was being removed. I cant imagine a solid back window for these trucks costing too much.

    My friend's truck is coming along well.

    Old Skool VW front grill. The headlights will be replaced with Euro round ones.
    You can also see the yet to be painted 4x4 bumper and front fenders from this picture...

    what kinda roll pan is that. Some buckets and console should be next on the list. Looking good. Also are those the ebay tails? if so can I see some nighttime photos of them lit up with the brake and then just running light? Thanks.
