Hey Guys,
First post in this forum. I'm a cruiser guy, currently dd a 1989 FJ62. I picked up an '86 4wd carburated pickup for my 13 year old. Bought it from the neighbor. $200. Hasn't run in 6-7 years. No real rats nest or bad PO wiring. Brought it home last night. Going to try and teach my boy how to wrench on this and drive a manual. Just need to get it cleaned up a bit. Bed is rusty and it's missing the front valence panel.
Not sure where to start other than to clean it completely up. Pull the carb and go through. Get the nasty gas out of the tank. (Do these tanks have drain plugs?)
Attached is a pic of an older p/u that we would like the stance to be similar to. I realize it's solid axle but just giving my boy some ideas.
Last is a pic of the cruiser. (It has more miles than the p/u does...)
James
