My 80 Toyota 4x4 Pickup

[Bonanza Bryan]

ditch the fkn cowbell. your truck looks great until you notice the redneck cowbell...damn, step above the "be like everybody else" and let your truck shine,
note, dont replace it with a rubber nut sack on a chain, holy hell our society has gone to hell, proof positive.
On another note, you got a straight axle front end, much better than the newer style:thumbsup:

Come on man the cowbell is my signature!

Nice Truck.

Here in the East, Snow Belt, in one year my 2008 Tacoma looked worse underneath from the salt they put on the roads.

Hard to find Toyota's around here in that condition.

And that load of hay, would have had my Tacoma's bumper dragging. I didn't get the factory spring recall, but I had my springs built to haul that kind of load. Those bales of hay are not light.

I used a thumbnail pic to save space.

Yea i got lucky and found this one in such good shape.

Bryan:

1) Is that new carburetor 50 state legal?
2) Did you get it smogged yet? Those carbureted import trucks are next to impossible to smog.

3) As far as those "New" tires go, are they recent "new" or new from 10 years ago and never driven enough to wear them out? If it's the latter, be careful and check for cracking. Maybe check the date codes. I've seen plenty of tires that have like new tread, but really ready to blow out and very dangerous...

Tom the carb is Ca smog legal. I already smogged it and it passed with VERY LOW numbers (i was quite surprised myself) and the tires are new the PO had the receipt they were bought 7 months ago.

Cool deal on both counts. I have a customer with that exact truck and larger tires, lifted. Looks good, runs good, and I've had more people ask if it's for sale in times that it's been than I can count.

Man that is one clean first gen!!! How many miles are on it?

 

[Casey Davis]

It's filthy in the pic. It cleans up real nice...
It climbs better than my FJ Trail Teams and is a blast in the snow.
She bought it in October '79 i believe and has used it to check cattle on the farm mostly.
I'll check mileage tomorrow.

Here are some updated pics....

Great pics, Bryan. That style of Toyota PU is just iconic. I hope we see you post here a little more often. Kind of a big blank spot between January and March. I always enjoyed hearing about your minibike adventures, FFA, Rangers and so on.
