    thanks guys ...

    kind of why I feel it's "worth it" ///



    what they were .. was a Proto type 4 runner ... to "test" the North American market , for a small SUV .. Toyota and Winnabego built . full fiberglass back 1/2 , with rear seating ... my company is actually going to be re-producing our own version , so now you will be able to buy a back 1/2 and convert any 79-83 short box toyota pick up --- to a Precision Trekker .

    I will be doing one...i miss my 78 blazer more then i thought i would, and this would marry my love of toyotas, with my love of the blazer style!

    Any clue at all on how much a kit will run? I'm hunting a 4x4 cab/frame now :)
