I checked this truck out in person, and it’s a bit over priced for condition. The owner is a legitimate seller, however he seems to be on the fence of keeping or selling as he wants a swap for a newer low mileage Tacoma or T4R.

As far as the 40 goes, it’s going to need new front fenders, rear sill, patch work in the rear corners and a passenger rocker panel for starters. While the interior is complete, it appears the dash was cut out and welded back in along the original seams, long ago. The seats are all there, however the fronts were recovered in a grey tweed rather than marine vinyl. The 2F is not the original engine and was installed in 1993, per the PO. Finally, the frame has putting in the rear cross members and frame rails. The truck drives well, and has a mini truck PS conversion. The truck will need to have the ignition system trouble shot, cold starts are very labored for the truck.

Hope this helps and would be buyers! I’d rate it a $25k truck if you can pull it, but he turned me down!! Good luck!!
