    1978 toyota SR-5 dually flatbed with extended cab
    Hello everyone,
    Got my first Toyota this month after lots of searching. Wanted a dually flatbed, which are hard enough to find, and scored one with the extended cab, which I had never seen before.

    1978 toyota SR-5 crew cab flatbed dually. Farmer rebuilt 20R engine.

    Engine seems sound and drives straight, a good start. After being handed down from farm to farm up in Whatcom county here in Washington, I am having a mechanic go through it and reattach the various pieces hanging off underneath and fixing some electrical and brake issues. Get it safe and reliable.
    Then have some fun with it.
