Ok so I recently purchased a "new" project truck. I like how it has a lot of similarities to design of my 80 and well who doesn't like a solid axle minitruck?
I have a lot to do on it. Frame is rust free, but the body has a few spots. Engine is done with several spun crank bearings and the truck is largely disassembled. I spent a lot of time on Amayama.com, parsouq.com and on lakeland toyota's parts sites ordering bunches of parts. Only to get the dreaded emails back saying unfortunately they don't have them. So I have located an engine and maybe some fenders from WNC AUTO PARTS – High Quality Auto Parts & Service as well as a windshield not far from them in NC, but then i started thinking, there has got to be sources of parts closer to the Atlanta area. So here is my question, where do people go to get parts for these old trucks? I've seen some after market body panel places, but not many with good reviews, in fact i find several people warning to run from them. So are there any good recommendations? I appreciate any tips you all might have.
I am about to order the fj40 front axle rebuild kit as it is apparently the same for these mini trucks from @cruiseroutfit , the kits i got from them for my 80 are very nice, but i don't think they have anything for my rear axle on this truck.
thanks in advance.
