Time for a build up thread for the Blue Truck........
the basics: 1981 toyota 2wd pickup. 22r and 5speed. SR5 package
The day i got her....
front view
side view.. i am tempted to take the top off but i am not sure. you can see the lil bit of body rust thats on the bed. my final plans are to sand it down and repaint it.
surface rust on the bumper... i will de-chrome it and paint it black. other then that there isnt much rust on it.. its been in CA for most of it life. so the frame is clean.
the lil 22R
for being 25 years old,, the inside isnt in too bad of shape
122K on the odo..
Then after i got the HG done and brought her to tacoma..
who says 2wds cant flex.
recent updates:
i've been putting some money into it since its become my daily driver again (i sold my honda to finish the motorswap on the big runner... but thats a different thread)
I painted the truck since the last pictures were posted...
Then i got new tires... Sorry no pics.
I then bought a Delta diamond plate toolbox from Craigslist... $60 i'll get pics tomorrow
Last 3 "mods" i've done to the truck is get get seats for it. they are Honda Civic SI seats imported from Japan. one of my shop neighbors imports JDM parts all the time and had them laying around. they are WAY more comfortable than the 27 year old seats.
I bought a LockRight Locker for the rear cuz every 2wd needs to be TRUE 2wd.....
and tonight i installed 2 Hella 500s
I have H4 Euro headlight conversion on its way as well. pics soon
