If I was in the market for a grey 1st Gen, that would make my list. Looks like a solid deal at $8K (there may be some wiggle room there). Looks very well cared for.
@Will Van that '91 is 10 min. from me. If you need any help - going to see it, middle-manning payment, picking it up, parking it at my house, taking to the shipper... let me know. But, I do like the gray one more
Also, ACC Garage is 30 min. away and considered one of the best Toyota truck shop on this half of the country. They do a PPI for around $150 (I think).
You take that back! Duct tape and bailing wire is for farm hacks. JB Weld is for pro level repairs.I also wish they would pull JB Weld from the market. Nobody knows how to use it and everyone thinks it is a substitute for actual welding. It's just fancy glue.
(Side note, a buddy threw a rod in a ‘56 Packard V8 in 2002. Put the pieces of engine block back together with JB Weld and it’s still running today. Even gets flogged at the drag strip once in a while.)

What? That's amazing. Pro level indeed.
I stand by my statement - JB Weld is for idiots.
Prep work is 95% of paint work.
I frankly rarely see "great" paint jobs.
Unless you have a pristine body already a real paint job is going to be a couple grand at least.
People lose sight that real professionals are bringing down 100$+/hr. How much do you want to spend on prep?
Take into consideration that the folks that work in body shops are trying to pay their bills and keep food on their tables, not just “churn out volume”. Prep work is extremely time intensive and therefore expensive if you’re paying a fair wage. Nobody is getting rich as a bodyman or woman. Yes the insurance industry is driving the body repair industry, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a great bodyshop to fit your needs. Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for and Maaco/Earl Scheib prices reflect that.You're 100% right. Paint and body shops are all insurance-driven now. They're just trying to churn out volume. Even if you have a truck with a pristine body, you still have to prep the truck to lay down fresh paint. That's a huge pain in the ass. So most places skimp and just re-spray. It will look good long enough to take photos and flip the truck, but eventually it will start to peel.
Thanks for confirming what I already knew. I just need someone to talk me back down to earth occasionally.
