**This is a 1976 4WD truck. It has rust and it has dings. The rear sill is rotted through but it has been treated with Rust Bullet and a Cap put over it. The driver and passenger side of the body have rust underneath each door where the gutter drains tend to always rust on these trucks. The driver's side fender has a fist sized rust spot but has not rotted all the way through. Back passenger side foot of the roll cage has some rust underneath it. The driver's floor is rusted. Finally both quarters have some rust. They are covered with diamond plate. (All of this rust was found after I started going through the truck and I put Rust Bullet on it to stop the rust progression. My plan was to cut out and replace the bad spots as I had time and money) I just wanted full disclosure as these trucks can be misrepresented. It has NOT been restored....just fixed mechanically and preserved better. I think it's a perfect trail truck or with $1000 in new metal and a paint job she could be brand new.

**History: I bought the truck from Oklahoma and before that it was in Colorado. I have many receipts from previous owners as well as documentation on everything I have done.


I can help with delivery. Truck is located in Brandon Mississippi 39047.......

Interior

I've had some PMs about the interior.

I stripped it down and put Rust Bullet on it to take care of the surface rust. I Then put 2 coats of paint, original front floor mat, and rear cargo mat down, I have the ICON bench seat, reupholstered buckets up front and redone jump seats in storage. I have not put seat belts in the rear for the bench yet.

dash pad is excellent, I have visors but they are cracked pretty bad. Horn doesn't work but all other instrumentation is working, lights on dash and for controls work, radio/cd works well. Confer center console.

again....all the rust was cleaned down to bare metal and ample rust bullet was applied. I THEN painted over the rust bullet. I have not covered rust with spray paint and if you are interested please pm me for MORE pictures of the entire process from tub on frame to what is above.

Thanks for all the interest.

Man do I like this rig. A few quick questions...
- Is it a 3 or 4 speed?
- any shots of the engine bay?
 
Thanks Miko.....it's a 4 speed plus reverse. I have shots of engine bay somewhere....will post here when I get home to the computer.
They will show all new parts discussed in craigslist ad and current condition.

Thanks
 
as promised

driver's side:
upper radiator hose is about 2 years old
those are new fuel filters (up stream and down stream)
webber carb that runs well (once cranked..I think float might need adjusting)
and I have an aisin rebuilt by mark a with all the trimmings ready to be bolted on in a box....only thing missing is choke cable

brake system and rad were just flushed and good to go

you can see pancake in 2nd pic for saginaaw...it's great with 33s

passenger side

1 is new battery and battery tray, new DUI and wires
2 is new mechanical fuel pump and filters (just had oil change so oil filter is new as well)
3 is new GR starter from the 60 series

** new means within last 6 months**

like I have said lots of new parts

things I would still like to do in here, coolant line kind of runs into DUI and I havent properly rerouted it yet and there is some obvious loose ends and spaghetti syndrome going on (I guess that happens after however many "mechanics" and 35 years)

I am sure all the pics over the last 2 days will generate some questions/need for different pics....let me know

new door seals for all 4 doors, new front Toyota emblem and sun visors just discovered while cleaning garage!!
