Snapped some pics of the winch this week......it's comical. I'd love to get rid of it but I can't. Need to leave this truck be. For a little while at least

Can these be considered 'Easter eggs'? They're cool. 2 little hand written "Toyota"s under the front bib. Cool. Even got the color close.
The Toyotas are cool....the wiring certainly is not. More of this mess in the engine compartment and I can guarantee under the dash. I know some of my first wiring jobs were probably on this level

I moved the old green girl around in the shop.....I can see it from my desk now
I find myself constantly messing around with this truck. Sitting in it. Cleaning it. Poking. Prodding. Can't keep my hands off of it. Totally in love with it.

There were a couple of boxes of parts in the back of the truck.....nothing too amazing. When it first came in I could see it had been leaking brake fluid for a bit. Ordered up the usual replacement stuff so the Aisin boxes are my add ons. Trying to collect all the stuff I need before we start cranking on it.
There were 2 inspection lights....one was in the glove box. Bonus
I think the 2 Carello lights were probably mounted on the front part of the cage.....I see some light tab mounts up there. I'm sure they were as useful as the boat trailer winch on the front of the truck

Pic of the interior....
Great score!
I saw this one on the market and it caught my eye.
I guess I had too much going on at the time and didn’t pursue it, but I remembered thinking how cool it was and the possibility of fitting one of my 70’s era Street and trail bikes on a bumper carrier for a relic camping weekend!
I am glad to see it ended up in good hands that appreciates the nostalgia! Enjoy!

Cool bikes! I'm trying to not fall down the vintage bike hole.....but I keep looking at these:
the 2 wheel drive motor bike, I haven't seen one of them in 20 years now

Rokon Trailbreaker. So cool. I think the fuel/liquid storage in front wheel is my favorite part. Wonder how these things rode?
Considering the only suspension is the squish in the tires and those little springs under that seat, probably worse than a horse.
Thank you!
I love the Rokons, kinda the 40 series of trail bikes!
Most recently my vintage bike interest has been the vintage trail stuff and they can be addictive, they cost less and take up less room, making moderation more challenging!
When you decide to move on from the 40, I will load a trailer and head South, you can jump directly into the Vintage bike rabbit hole!

I've been building/buying a lot of restoration equipment for the shop.....vapor blast cabinet, ultrasonic cleaner and a cool copy cad plating system. Most of the vapor blast videos all seem to be doing old bike parts. It seems very attractive...small parts...simple....no rust
I'll stick with the fancy Italian bikes for now
Maybe once they go away I'll replace them with a few different toys. And definitely one of these....
I just saw one last year up in Lake City, CO. Neat concept.
