Please put some original time specific wheels on there, the truck deserves it!

I blew the engine at the beginning of summer and am planning on an engine swap this winter. Then some body work, replacing some pieces here and there, and paint eventually.

But it's hard to believe that the Toyota is still that bright from the 1980 factory paintjob. That's perfect. Mine sat in my barn for years while I raised a family. She sat with the front covered by the barn but the tailgate faced the outside and got a lot of sun.
I LOVE those old tailgate latches. I had a budd had one exactly like yours, trimeed out in chrome.
Have you never had any rust in that bed? Is that all the original paintjob?
How many miles? Drive it much?
Manual steering isn't as much fun at 55 as it was driving her home from the lot when I was 19.
Well done bud. Well done.
Inside pix?

Loboro, nice truck, once again. Can I ask, your tailgate, letters painted or that 5" sticker kit that's available? Also love the look of steel wheels and caps. Aren't those the stock size with 31 x10.50 15"s ?
Great truck.....
Great truck.....
