So I finally managed to get another look at the BJ75 I found/posted awhile ago - exmine truck. Turns out its from Cassiar asbestos. The frame rails are 50% packed with the stuff, and bascially the whole truck has a light coating of asbestos inside and out. It is an 88 with the 3bII, has already been titled, hour meter says 9300 hrs, and odomter says 81,031 miles or kms....i forgot too look 
and seller says odometer worked when he parked it. How the heck do I get rid of the asbestos? Pressur wash it but then its on the ground...put down a tarp maybe first but then what?
Seller says it was running rough. He says blowing lots of black smoke. Injector pump problem? I also notice it has a very small alternator - coulnt tell if Toyota part even, no vaccum pump on the back like Im used to.
Its been bonded and spray bombed to hide some stuff for sure, comes with another set of doors with the Cassiar mine logo on them - they actually dont look too bad!! The rear springs are flat, fronts look OK. No hubs. The door hinges are shot, the windshield frame looks OK, hood is really good. Body mounts underneath have minor surface rust. Frame has had some bigg assed protector bars welded to it (now cutt off and look like heck). Box on back is crazy heavy,rusty underneath. What do you all think of the odometer and hour meter - near the end of its life or hopefully with regular service, just used hard and put away dry. Thanks for your feedback. Pics posted when I get it home.
