    Hello everyone,
    great site, had no idea it existed until searching for a part for our truck.
    1974 Toyota Hilux with just 47,000 original miles. Our paint was faded pretty bad, so we are re-spraying the original color this week, been in storage for a long long time. runs just about perfect, very fun truck again. We like original toyota vehicles, so it will stay that way for now.

    Snap another Colorado guy! Right on man! What part of CO do you live in? I live in Greeley.

    Also welcome to TM, great looking truck, and I say match the headlight grill, I think it would look much better.

    Also I noticed in the picture your missing a gas door, I have another one you can have. I also have an OEM front bumper, it will need a bit of work but if you want it ill donate it to the project.
