My memory book. I learned to drive in this. When my Dad passed, I became its care giver. Just thought you guys might enjoy them. She has 171000 miles now.
And 'No', its not for sale. Ever.

No quite 100% rust free. The bed is having a hard time. I took her to Line-X and was told yesterday to pick her up Friday. They sanded the bed to bare metal where rusted. I went today to check on the progress (unexpected). They had primed the sanded areas and were preping to spray first thing in the morning. I asked them to go over the edges and 2" down the side of the bed and up under the rail. So they sanded everything there and found some rust on the surface. Sanded and primed that also. She'll look almost new tomorrow.

I learned to drive a stick on that exact same truck, only ours was yellow. Watch that bed, Nebraska winters rotted ours out so bad, that the bed would shift when going around corners.

Glad for your good memories, I was glad to see ours go. We then got a 1st Gen 4Runner and the 4WD Toyota fanaticism began.
