First, I love this forum I appreciate all who have taken the time to document all of their DIY fixes.
Onto the backstory…. This truck was donated to a church I assume running and driving but has done nothing but sit in the same parking spot for 4-5 years judging by the stickers on the dash which may not even belong to this rig. The VIN check said it was titled salvage in New Mexico in year 2000, re-titled in Louisiana, then the most recent was Georgia in 2004. It was not locked so I looked it over. It’s a 1997 with 138k on the clock, unfortunately non-locked, interior was in good shape, but it had some rust and peeling paint on the exterior.
I have been drooling over this truck for a few years now. I've been driving the same Tacoma for 12 years, can turn a wrench, and have toyed with the idea of a project ‘yota but speaking with the people at the church I could not track down any info on the truck, only that they do not have the title… Ouch.
