    Hello everybody, the name's robby and i have myself a 1979 sr5 2wd. She used to run like a horse, but due to a blown hose and headgasket, it was time to rip her apart and give her a new heart. the motor has been in the shop for a bit now getting a little touch of fire added to the complete rebuild. hopefully when my slow ass mechanic gets it done i can start to peice her together and back on the road. but in the mean time, i have PLENTY of things that have to be done. She does look a little rough right now as she is just a rolling frame with a cab. no doors no seats no carpet no engine no dash no bed no tranny and ALOT of grease....

    btw im gonna need LOTS of help and advice.......

    Welcome, Robby!!! Once you get your truck all back together, then you can start enjoying it again. I've had my truck since it was brand new and I still enjoy it to this day.

    Looking forward to helping you with your questions!

    Rick
