I think I may have found a replacement for my Runner

What the hell do I care anyway? I have my totalled 84 Runner that still runs and drives great. If I need to I could put my old motor in it. I'll throw my 84 sfa in it, I'll have two transfer cases, spare tranny, and a bunch of parts to sell. Looks like somewhat of a clean specimen. Opinions?

I've also left this guy 2 messages, hopefully this truck hasn't sold, it's the one I'd really like to have, atleast until I can afford another Runner. My second choice is definitely a 79-83 after a 1st gen Runner

Well, I found this one, going to buy it on Sunday. It will need an SAS, a radiator (probably just a boil from description), and a 5 speed if I'm seeing that picture right it looks like an automatic.

It looks kind of clean! I sold my 84 runner for $500 and the deal is I keep the front axle and he gets the truck so it will be ready to go into the new runner, still have ome lift springs and lift shackles for the front and the rear too. Just need to build a hanger, etc. The only thing that sucks is I had to sell my 35"MTRs for the cash to buy it so it's off on the tire hunt again...
