After trying to aquire this thing for 20 years we finally brought home this 85 extra cab with 49,000 miles from its dark sealed barn from its hoarding previous owner. This truck was rolled when it was just a couple years old and stored away and never touched. We are going to bring it back to the road like any toyota should be

That cab really does look great. How are the A-pillers - under the glass? That's only place my '84 cab had rust.

Exactly what I need done to my cab right now. Except white. Wish I could drop it off at your place. Looks great.
