I have my pig stored about 35 miles or so, so I can't to it as much as I'd like but I checked it out more thorough. I'm still shocked that the seats don't have one tear in the original vinyl, and the floor matting doesn't have any tears or cracks even where your heel rests when your foot is on the gas pedal. I can't believe how butchered the tailgate is where the PO cut out and welded a big ass plate with a hand crank over part of the embossed TOYOTA. I'll be looking for another tailgate. The body is as I stated, a little rough. The bottom of the doors and some of the floor will need some metal, I'll need new rockers, so I'll be contacting Bob In a little bit, his work looks great. The roof looks pretty good, I see rust in the normal spot inside near the winshield. I scraped and poked , the frame in several spots where it might be prone to rust, most of the flake that I scraped off seems to be from the moisture that got underneath the undercoating. I know where the 40's usually rust through on the frame but can you tell me how prone the 55's are to rusting through in the boxed area? Thanks

Kid, post more pics. And keep an eye out. I may be offering a PIGGY STIMULUS Plan shortly.

Thanks Bob.

The one pic with all the junk on it is what it looked like the first time I saw it. The 40 is what has been taking most of my time. It's hard to get any more pics of the pig for a little, it's in the corner of someones shop at least for a little bit until I find a new place for it closer to me.

Thought you guys like to see the original window sticker. I'm a real wizzard with the camera as you can tell.
