    G'day! My name's Marlin.

    A couple of months ago I bought an '86 2WD Hilux/Pickup with a 2L Diesel engine and auto transmission, dubbed the "Slowlux".

    I bought it as a cheap and reliable runabout, but it's been such a fantastic truck that I've decided I want to fix it up. I recently became a fan of the minitrucking scene, and stumbled across toyotaminis.com. The people on here are great, and are very willing to share their knowledge and experience.

    I could ring around for you, and see what I could find. What would you need a right hand steering box for?
