Many years ago... I bought this 83' SR5 Long Bed for $1,700 with a newly rebuilt R22 and L52 Tranny... Carried it to my hunting lease (10,000 acres in east / central Georgia).. left it there for 5/6 years.... she NEVER let me down! Drove her through stuff that few could imagine! We lost the property and now she's here at home and I'm 3/4 done with her restoration!

Built it to this point
Realized I over did it and sold it when I moved for college
I put full size axles with a 4.3 vortec and a 1 ton stick I had laying around.
Now I have to do it all over again.

Here a old pic of my dads truck. The specs are 79 hilux, 4" lift, dual weber carbs with about 230 hp. He wheeled this truck since new for ten years. He took it out just about every weekend to go wheeling.

thanks I paid a 100 bucks for them, they are 70's turbines 15x10's paid another 125 to have them glass beaded and you can see the results, They looked bad from 40 years of stains but turned out perfect. I wanted to keep the old school alive.
