Glad I found this site, looks like lots of great information! A little history of me and my truck, we go back to 1986 when I bought it new, it was my first new vehicle. I met my wife while in this vehicle and so on. My truck is a 2WD and as basic as one could expect a broke kid could afford. My truck had 342,000 miles on it when I rear ended a much larger truck back in 2011, the truck I hit had nearly no damage but my toyota suffered some decent damage and has not ran since the accident, I for some reason could not let it go(even though I own a new Tacoma 4X4). I've decided to fix it and am hoping with the help from some good people on this site to make this happen. I promise to post pictures from my trucks early years and of its sad state now very soon!

Welcome aboard! Good luck fixing it! I'm sure the sentimental value is why you still have it.

 

Hey, are you in LC? I think I may have seen that truck around.

 

No I'm near Albuquerque, I have family down your way so my truck has been down there quite a bit, sadly not in a few years.
