    Hello everyone,

    I have a 2nd Gen 2006 toyota tacoma that I own, But my Dad has an 1974 Toyota Hilux long bed that I love. When I was younger I told him not to sell the truck to anyone because it's mine :D. He always told me peole would asked him if it was for sell and he said "NO" it already has a new owner LOl. Now come the time to fix up the truck and enjoy it, its going to be a project between my father and I. Want to lower it by a few inches and keep it original looking color with a few modern twist. It will take some time but will get their.
