Anyone find aything Toyota related at flea markets or tag sales? Post up.

Last year I found about 5 miscellaneous cruser diecasts and some cool cruiser ads in old magazines.
Sunday started this year's flea market season and I scored a cool old tool case.Guess that's my consolitary prize for missin the meetin...
Anyone know what model Toyota this may be out of from the colors. Never seen these colors from a cruiser.

Seems older... the strap is just as weathered and tattered as the straps on jump seats usually are.

Scored a newer Prado die cast this week that says Mini Cruiser on the side and a bunch of 70's era Field and Stream mags. Haven't looked through them all yet, but so far one Toyota ad for the Toyota Half-ton. Mags dated 72, from the back it looks like a Stout. Camera broke but I'll get pics somehow.
 
Hey Yoda!

Local to me Auto parts store that has been around forever, Page & Warner on Broad street is closing their doors for good. I popped in yesterday for a gasket and saw they were liquidating a bunch of stock. They are having a tag sale on Sat & Sun, this weekend.

I picked up 2 pieces of chain, each 45ft long for $10each! These are hardened & good sized links that they used to use to make tire chains for trucks. That is a steal. They had a few more pieces and I am tempted to go back and get them too... These will be used to move rocks/logs.

Later....

Damn, I hate to see these independant places go. One of the few old style places where you could get real service. :frown:

I agree, I have tried to support them over the years but they seemed to be in a rut from the first time I walked in. I kept going back but they never seemed to have what I need and the few times I had them order they seemed to screw it up in one way or another.

I have bought a bunch of tires from Mike, the guy that runs a one man show in the bay on the side. He has always given me awesome service and super great prices.
