Welcome. Hope you’re able to get the bugs worked out without too much pain, it is a looker.

What was needed to be done on it? Sorry about the luck on the truck, sometimes it’s hard in the moment owning it, but you’re gonna love it in the long term, and working on it is just another part of ownership. For me, working on my 40 was my introduction to working on cars

It may not help you feel any better, but this is a common occurrence with trucks imported from South America.

not uncommon with south of the border imports.

Welcome to the forum! Really nice looking late model 40. Hopefully, you were able to take care of everything mis-represented by the seller.

Welcome... One day you'll look back and these problems will pale in comparison to how they seem now.


What sort of issues?

@ToyotaMatt can hook you up with the proper headlight switch and many other things you're looking for.

City Racer LLC is another great source for bits and pieces.

and the list goes on... ask and we can point you in the right direction.
