Yeah, I can't wait to see her complete.

Any more cars you're planning on buying now, or is this the last one? Whatever you do, you'll help this economy either buying parts or cars.

 

i'm always checking craigslist for yotas. i'm considering getting rid of the s-10, and maybe the 66 mustang.

 

Thinking of kicking out a couple of the Americans, huh?

If your Mustang's in good shape, you should get a decent amount of green for it.

 

Yea get rid of the S-10 for sure! No one needs one of them taking up valuble Yota space!

 

i wanted a dime since i was 13, once i had it you see just how many there are. i don't care for them anymore.

 

Yeah, S10's and Rangers are all to common these days.

 

got a few interior shots now that its cleaned up.




it had a kraco cassette player but i pulled it out. i'm going to try and find an original for it.


i wish they hadn't put the speakers in there, but the sheetmetal wasn't cut, they stuck it through an existing hole.


the original dash pad was shot, so i'm attempting to make a new one. i think it will work. i'm using the original steel support and some spray foam.

 

Looks good so far.

One odd question real quick, is that an F-150 pulling the truck?

 

sure is!!! i borrowed it from my father-in-law. everyone says i'm golden to him. truck did awesome. the lux doesn't weigh much but there was a 40m.p.h. headwind and the truck pulled it 65 no problem. if i ever get a new fullsize it would be an f-150. i love the quiet steel used on the cab.

 

I thought it was. Used to have an '06 F-150 Supercrew, god I miss that truck!

 

so i took off the stupid back bumper. it was an aftermarket, and was actually built rather well. but i'm not a farmer so no need for it i also put the rims from the 86 yota on it so they would match.


somebody made a set of lift shackles for the back. i'm going to make new ones or cut and redrill these to bring it down about 2"


i have a lot of cleaning to do in here


and i also installed a set of mirrors for a 66 mustang. i had a few lying around the garage.

 

Looks good, love the color! I can't wait to see the progress, thx for all the pics!

 

You should use some rubbing compound and wax, that thing would shine up nice.

Ive got some original steel wheels of my 78 if your intersted

 

thanks! i dedicate this thread to all you pic whores!

hey sam, it is originally red but somebody resprayed the truck orange. i'm trying to find some of those 20" spare steel wheels that come on the new dodges. i want an old school look with a new school style and i think the plain steel wheels might do it.

 

Thats going to look pretty sick

 

I wonder why someone cut the center of the firewall like that?

 

my best guess is they were trying to get at the windshield wipers. or storing crack so the po po wouldn't find it

 

maybe a forced heater intake

 

Wow, that's a small four cylinder though! Looks like oil changes would be easy on that though, filter's right in plain sight!

Why don't you throw in a 22R? It'll still look old school like that, and you get bigger and a little bit more power. (I know you're not driving it yet, but whenever you do)

Maybe paint the frame too...

 

i want to keep the 18r since it's already there. i don't want to get in over my head when **** starts snowballing. thats how i ended up with the chopped and doored yota. i plan on stripping and painting or powdercoating the frame when i bring it in to be bagged. probably paint though cuz i plan to drag the hell out of it.
