Hello everyone, I figured I would post up and introduce myself. My name is Jeff from Bakersfield, CA and I'm driving to Nevada This weekend to pick up a 1975 Toyota Hilux I have always loved Toyotas because of my dads old 82 pickup that I used to steer around the cul-de-sac while sitting on his lap as a kid haha. He now has an 02 Tundra that is awesome and I was temped to get one but the older trucks just always had a special place in my heart so here I am lol. Here are a few pictures of the truck I'm picking up. My girlfriend found it on CL and I had to have it. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...FB7757-21538-00000FD638317C9B_zps1fa6ab31.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...81555B-21538-00000FD631B2E27E_zpsdd24a180.jpg For now it's just going to be a daily drive once I get the coil fixed and put some new tires on it. But eventually I'll be building it to be a fast clean street truck after i finish my current project lol Here is my current project that will be getting a fully built 10:1 motor, 6766 precision turbo, built head and e85 so I will have an extra block sitting around... Hmmm what to do with it?? Haha like I said, I've always loved toyotas. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b264/42N8-one/sTTable_boy_by_1073designs.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b264/42N8-one/6c6ca442faab3734daef48bf50ace2d3.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...401AED-21538-00000FD68534ED50_zpsd0992321.jpg
Welcome Jeff!!! Nice to see another Californian on here. I'd prefer an older/classic Toyota over what is getting produced today. That's because "Old School is the Cool School." My SR5 is fully loaded for the 1982 model minus the moonroof. It's still a GREAT truck and lots of fun with its go fast goodies. It makes me smile when I get compliments from other drivers. Let us know when you have the truck! Rick
Well after a 14hr drive with no sleep I got my 75 home!! She needs so work but I can't wait to get started and get it on the road! http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...4F33E99-1658-000000E473788954_zpsf12c63d8.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...17D6528-1658-000000E483570859_zpsb4bf4c7c.jpg
