Welcome to Mud Foodie!

That is a beautful pig. By the way, what is the chrome strip on your tailgate above the chrome handle? Seems to have a key or switch or something and is it stock? Thanks for sharing.

Manual rear window crank, I believe...

foodie · 05-28-06, 05:00 AM

I don't think the 2nd tank is stock. I do know the original owner had it put because he towed his caravan around Australia with it. It looks.

I got underneath and check out how its mounted. Cross member above the chasis frame and welded...I don't think Toyota would have welded to the chassis. It's never coming out. But its build quailty is great, so it shouldn't have to.

I have the original door mirrors in very good condition. I am not sure why the dude put these black things on, they are not an improvement on vision...nor looks.

Rear chrome bar is the manual window opener/door lock. Opened up the back of the door to inspect the bottom. No rust!!

Picked this gem up about a month ago. Completely stock except for the tires and rims and of course the rack. Was used as a hunting rig in South Texas and
had been sitting for 2 years. Have put a kit in the carb, back window working, got all guages working.
Still needs a rear diff seal and some other misc. things. Under carriage is going to get a Rust Bullet treatment. Originally bought it to turn a nickel on, but I like it so much I think I will keep it !
