*Located in Norco/Corona CA, $2000 OBO*



I'm posting up my non-complete project vehicle.

Its a 1980 Toyota 4x4 pick-up truck.

It currently has a fresh rebuilt 1995 4.3L Vortec engine sitting in the car with an Advanced Adapters motor mount kit. I have numerous receipts and pictures of the complete rebuild of the engine. All machine work was done at Allies Machine Shop in Signal Hill CA. Engine has all new components and accessories, including new "spyder" fuel assembly, all the way down to new alternator, water pump, plugs wires, ect....

The engine is mated to an 4L80E transmission mounted to the vehicle frame rails with a custom made transmission mount that replaced the stock transmission mount.

Bolted to the transmission is an NP241 transfer-case with a new Slip Yoke Eliminator kit installed.

The transfer-case has a clocking ring installed and the transfer-case is turned up and level with the frame rails. The floor of the cab was cut and clearance for the transfer-case, (most of floor replaced and boxed in)

I have an Art-Carr shifter (not yet installed) and stock GM transfer-case shifter assemblies for the project.

The Toyota was professionally repainted about 7 years ago at A-1 Paint and Body in Wilmington CA. It has since been sitting, a bit of oxidization, rust, and dusty.

It has a custom rear bumper built by Badland Bumpers in Oregon. The bed is Rhino-lined and it has a Can-Back soft top canopy cover I installed about a few years ago.

It is sitting on aluminum wheels and 32" BFG mud terrains with a good amount of tread.

I have metric ton of misc. accessories for the project. GM engine computer, stock wiring harness, excellent condition leather seats from a Lincoln T/C for the ride, stock drive shafts, stock transmission, transfer-case.

The vehicle is currently non-opt with the DMV (no late fees).

The truck is sitting in my driveway. I don't currently have the time or resources to complete this project, nor do I have a place to store it.

I have about $3000 in the engine, including all the machine work and rebuild parts. The GM fuel injection spyder assembly alone was $600!

I'll let the car go for $2000 or a reasonable offer around that price.

Between engine, art-carr shifter, slip yoke eliminator, can-back canvas top, ect it is worth my asking price.

Engine, transmission, transfercase is currently removed and stored in my sealed storage container out of the elements.

The truck is set up with and is included with a tow bar for easy towing after purchase!

I forgot to mention I also have a high-pinion front differential I removed from my 96 LX450 for this project. I upgraded the LX450 to factory Toyota E-lockers, I have the differential stored in a 5-gallon home depot bucket.
 
No, it is not running.

You would need to finish it as it is a project vehicle. Most of the parts are there, it just needs to be finished/fabricated.

Needs electrical (Painless Wiring harness can be sourced for about $400, There are a few guys who make their own for this engine application for a few hundred too), fuel lines ran, exhaust.....ect.


I remembered I have an interior roll cage for this project too! I pulled it out of a Toyota at Pick n pull in Anaheim a few years ago.
It is complete with padding and leather zippered pad covers.

It is obviously included in the deal with the truck.
 
Gotcha. Ok. Prob a bit much for me. Beautiful pickup tho. I really dig them as well as the 60's. Good luck.
 
Looks like a great project and I love the color! GLWS!

SOLD,

pending funds & me and seller getting back into town from our vacations!:D
 
If I didn't have 3 dead Indians taking up space and a complete diesel build underway....this would have been in the stable already. Believe me, I contemplated back and forth. Congrats!
