I recently bought a 532K+ mile ‘78 long-bed pickup from the Original Owner in AZ.
It has been well maintained & still runs & drives pretty decent!
…
In the coming weeks I will be relocating this “survivor “ pickup to either my home in CA (SoSF) OR to my property in GA (near Statesboro).
…
I’ve owned other ‘Yota & Datsun pickups in my days, so I’m fully aware of how dependable & nearly indestructible they are! I’m also a huge fan of vintage Jeeps (I currently have several CJs & an M715 at my GA property)
…
I have worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer in the Aerospace & Automotive industries for more than 35 years.
I’ve contributed to the design of many commercial aircraft, business jets, cutting-edge military aircraft, revolutionary telescope designs, & the latest automotive designs (…both ICE & EV).
In my spare time I have also been active in the amateur racing circuits. Vintage class (Spridgets) racing, autocross, & a short taste of drag strip racing.
…
I am looking forward to interacting with other early Toyota owners here on this forum.

 

An M715 fan too?! Small world! I'd love to know more about your M715 if you have some time to spare, was thinking about buying one once I get my own business going!!! Also half a million miles, amazing! Welcome!
