Well folks the time has finally come. I am thinking about selling my 78 hilux. Have been wanting to move onto a first gen pretty bad. Would consider one as part trade. On to the details: Approx 130k miles, purchased 5 years ago at 80k from 2nd owner. RN28 longbed hilux lowered aprrox 9" all around 17" wheels 22r .020" over 20r head with slight milling to deck LCE head gasket thats thicker than standard approx 10.5:1 compression Ported non-egr 20r intake with 1 piece weber adapter port matched Weber 32/36 carb; rejetted with bigger jets, choke horns cut off MSD blaster 2 coil, Taylor 8mm wires, NGK V-power plugs Aluminum radiator for 95 4runner 1981 brake booster and master (smaller booster diameter) Hammer clearanced inner fenders Rolled, flared, and stretched outer fenders Pacesetter 1-5/8" 4-into-1 header 2.5" exhaust from collector back thru chambered muffler Exhaust dumps out in front of driver rear tire 8" rear end with 4.10 gears W52 5 speed trans with short shifter less than 15k miles on engine and clutch 77 Corolla bucket seats Custom door panels Fiberglass center console with cup holders and single DIN for stereo 2" gauges across dash for water, volt, oil, tach Carpet and 3 layers of pad for floor insulation Expanding foam filled b pillar and rockers for insulation Slider back window with lock VW bug mirror H4 headlight housings with 4300k outers and 6000k inner xenon's.

Never pay tabs again. Exempt from many light/plate/bumper height laws I am probably forgetting tons of little mods and things I have done. Practically every part has been replaced, I just didn't list them all off. If you're curious, just ask. Truck is ready to run down the freeway anywhere you want it to go. I love the truck, but its my ticket to moving onto an even better end result. I have lots of information and history on the truck. I will link photos in a second post. More pictures and info can be found in my build thread linked in my signature. $6500 obo
so you found it? where was it, you kick any ass? love the blazer armrest had the same one in my 77 limo man if I was closer and not a poor bastard too!
No sir, Mustafa does not come with the truck. I found him on a gas pump at a shell one time. He has been purring for the ladies for years.
did you buy your 1st gen yet??? there's was one on craigslist about a month ago I think it was blue too!!!
I have to sell this to have money for a 1st gen. Have my eyes on a few. Was thinking about getting a wheeler too. Turn 1 yota into 2.
Price drop. $5000 obo. Will accept part trades for a welder, a first gen hilux or a first gen miata. I wanna move onto a new project. Somebody scoop this up and give it some love.
If you weren't on the other side of the country I'd trade my welders (Lincoln 185 tig and 170 mig) plus cash for this thing... ugh
