This is the build thread for my 1st Gen DCSB Tacoma that I picked up recently as a “cabin truck” for our property in Western NC. The first time I hauled a couple of muddy river water filled kayaks in my 62, I knew a truck would be a much better tool for that job and I’ve always wanted a 1st gen taco… so I found one on Autotrader…
The story goes that a single mom purchased the truck @ 211K miles for her son to drive in high school, spent about $4K (i have the receipts) taking care of some deferred maintenance (timing belt, shocks, steering rack, etc) at the local AAA mechanic in Wilmington, NC and then the son graduated high school and she was selling it.
She mentioned it had a MAACO paint job this year (which is really the only part of this story that isn’t great) but the lack of rust on the frame and the general condition, receipts for service, and pictures (and most importantly price) led me to take the plunge sight-unseen and have it delivered to me in Atlanta…
She will be known as Patricia in the Woods because that’s what my nephew named our cabin
