A Toyota part or something the PO had made?I thought this was really cool. In one of the boxes I was sent(all the paperwork and books made it OK thankfully)....there was a bag with this key.
Sure enough, this turns the ignition. I'm guessing this was the spare 'wallet' key. Didn't know they came with them.

What a GREAT plate for a 40. Wow! I may go browse the offerings on ebay tonight for a 74What a great truck, crazy story. Glad it is here in the sunshine state.
Here is the plate I found for my 73, I still have to send the info to Talley for the year of manufacture registration

Interesting. They must not have had a lot of prisoners stamping platesYou’re lucky, my search ended before it began. Georgia use to replace their license plates every 6-7 years so in my case trying to source a 1982 plate is a lost cause. It’s especially frustrating that a 1983 plate is available.

That is awesome, the old county designation thing is cool, and that you found one for your year is really cool. I perused eBay for a while and found that one deep in the listings. Total luck and a little fate I think. My local DMV ladies have no idea how to register it with that plate, so they directed me to Tallahassee with a form to fill out. If you have a better way, PM me and let me know how, if you have time.
Years ago, AAA used to make spare/wallet keys. Not saying it is one of theirs but I'm sure they were not the only business to do it.I thought this was really cool. In one of the boxes I was sent(all the paperwork and books made it OK thankfully)....there was a bag with this key.

Our citizens generally behave up here.Interesting. They must not have had a lot of prisoners stamping plates
I haven't dug into the winch yet.....I don't think it was ever intended for a truck. I would bet the owner, 23 at the time, probably got it from somebody in his neighborhood....maybe from a boat trailer or utility trailer and bolted it on. The wiring to it is pretty entertaining.I saw the add for your truck and posted about it in the Austin forum.
Curious accessories on this '40
Do these look like fake coil-overs and a winch that you'd chuck a drill onto? https://www.ebay.com/itm/234175483673?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5335840870&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1forum.ih8mud.com
Does that winch have a motor? It looks like a light duty winch you'd mount in the front of a utility trailer.
Fun to see the transactional result of an interesting add like that.
