A little background....
I was looking for an 80 to replace my 03 Tundra as I now have 3 kids and the wife to tote around.
I have had lots of Toyota's, my last being a 94 4Runner that I went crazy on and it became a trailer queen so this time I just wanted a mildly built DD and always loved the 80's so I started my hunt.
I don't drive my truck very much since I work out of my house in NC and travel to Dallas, TX every other week... my wife works weekends at the Hospital and we drive her Sequoia during the week, so I basically only drive on the weekends.
During my hunt for an 80 I looked at lots of overpriced stock rigs and most had mechanical issues as well as trashed leather interior.
I did find a clean, almost rust free 94 with excellent cloth interior (I usually only go with leather but seeing the condition of all the other rigs, the cloth holds up 1,000X better) 230K on the ticker...
Only issues were, no lockers and blown head gasket.
The guy replaced this 80 with another after he blew the head gasket (leaking rear heater lines were the culprit) and he knew a fair bit about them and was asking $2,500
I offered him $2K and left with my new LC...
finally at it's new home
