yes it was hit in the rear at some point.. its blue under the beige.. it always come out of alignment...

yeah the tach is where that symbol was... thats a sunpro 29.99 tach, i had to take the cluster apart and cut the back out and some other stuff involving super glue... and for some reason the tach works on the positive side of the coil

1983 Toyota Long Bed bobbed and project

Here's the 1983 Long Bed with 209k, that I picked up with a bobbed bed and some things like Marlin dual ultimate cases, home sliders, Aussies front and rear, and a simple rear bumper.

I have the front axle out of it right now, doing OME suspension, hi steer and other work. This pic it has the stock suspension. With the build, I am trying to keep it fairly low. It's on 33x12.50 MTR's. A rebuilt engine is also coming soon.

^^ clean cool truck. I would love to get the new MTR's like yours. I want 37's but dont't want to have to go up to a 17" rim

Heres my 1983. wheelbase is 109inches which i believe is long box. Frame has a bunch of bad patch jobs but they are ok for driving just don't wanna flex it too much. Currently sitting on 31's. Plan to mount winch plate on the front or maybe make a bumper.

I have to agree on the "vintage" photo comment! Something about them makes me think I'm looking through a time machine.

Great pictures!

Not my truck, or my pictures, but this thing is incredibly cool.
Love icelandic trucs and a first gen one just takes the cake.
