Hello, and glad to join this forum. I own a 1993 standard cab base pickup, and just turned 379,000 miles on the clock. Driveline is RWD, with a 22R-E and a five speed manual transmission. Built at the NUMMI plant in Fremont (they're building Teslas there, now) it was purchased by my previous company, new, from Hobbie Toyota, in Oroville, CA and was used as a daily courier vehicle between the plant in Paradise and various customers in the SF Bay area- some 200+ miles away. I bought it in an asset sale, for $800, when the company closed it's doors last summer. It still has the company livery, including the Commercial Driver terminal number on the doors. Only options, which were likely dealer installed, is A/C (still works), carpeting, and a sliding rear window. It also has an analog bag phone that was professionally installed, which will come in handy if I ever find the time-travel gear in the gearbox. The service records show that the head gasket and water pump were replaced, and the head machined and rebuilt, about 10K miles ago. The truck had been parked and non-operated for over a year before I bought it and from 2001 on averaged less than 1K miles per year (company bought two new Tacomas in 2000, which took over the duty). It's got it's share of dings and dents- it never had a rear bumper installed on it, so the back corners and the tailgate have seen some loading dock abuse. I've painted over the dents- keeping the character, but cleaning up the minor rust. Other than replacing various broken/missing bits (lamps, marker lights, lenses, tail gate latch and access cover, etc), the only other upgrade was on the wheels, after I had purchased new rubber footwear and replaced the factory shocks. No real plans to do much more with it- it's the beater truck I've always wanted for the garage, but it still provides some grin factor whenever I see it. It's a surrogate for a 1992 standard cab, that I had bought brand new, and had to sell five years later with less than 15K on the clock. Thanks for listening...
