Hey Guys,

So this is my first toyota, im an all around car guy and have some pretty neat stuff ( if I say so myself) This Hilux project kinda came outta the blue, I have a buddy who found this broke down from montana, it had been rolled years ago and has 51k miles on it, they were going to part it out and scrap it, well I over paid 900.00 to save it and then since its got the right look decided to make a rat rod / light restore but keeping that great Patina that this truck has more than earned. In the first week, got it running, fixed brakes, waxed, installed salad shooters, got front lowered, rear coming soon, also bed cover made from an old metal Marathon sign from the 50s coming soon

 

nice ride

 

howzit...clean hilux

 

Welcome! That's cool you decided to save this truck. There's a listing on CL for a truck the same color as yours with a short bed & auto trans for $4,999.00 Really, really nice looking truck with a steep price. Have fun with your project!!!

Diggin the salad shooters! just helped put a set on my buddys miata and wondering how theyd look on a yota, an you pull it off!

 

Thanks guys I wanted to keep that hot wheels toy look so the salad shooters were a natural choice, also I didn't want to see those vintage non vented brakes up front so the wheels killed two for one

 

Does anyone in this forum sell Hilux parts 73-78 or part them out and ship parts?

 

quick update with the rear lowered

 

Those c4 vette wheels look good on there

 

Nice Truck...
