This was real hard to find in the street . At least the spare is in o.k. shape.

Too bad I would never be able to get the spare off the rotted frame

Dude, that is totally a warentee issue.
I was thinking that some pressure treated 2x4s and a few nails should do the trick .
It was a 1986 Toyota and it doesn't even have 100k on it yet. Other than the frame... the thing is a gem.

Looks like an aftermarket tire on the spare that was bolted to it. That no doubt voids the warrantee.Originally posted by Damn True

now would be a good time to cut half the bed off, weld in major x-braces into the frame, and get some lockers :devil:

whahahahadude that will take some time, to let it go rotten this way. You should check your trucks health, more often. And you will see this was coming. Looks to me it is pretty dangerous, if your wheel snaps off in the middle of the street.
Hahahhahahha... should have bought a F-Series... :ducks: :runs:
Long NE winter + Lot's of road salt + imported vehicle =
were you driving when it let loose ? or was it just sitting in you drive way and you noticed something under the truck ?
More importantly , is the 12 cent sticker ok ?

I told you not to park it in salt water with the wheels submerged... 
Duct tape will fix that.
Nope... no bondo. The fenders and bed were replaced 5 yeards ago and the truck was re-painted. Anything with rot (as far as the body) was replaced so, no bondo. There is a little surface rot starting on the bed and inside the door jams. It starts with one twist on the key.
Hey VooDoo, Come and get it

Thats one of the cleanest 2nd Gen Toys I've seen out there! Not even broken in yet either....
Anyway, I second the idea for a frame from budbuilt, along with SAS, lockers, gears, bobbed bed and more....:devil:

or just put a decent 85' frame under there, highsteer, 529's, arb's or e-locker, and hi-pin. front diff, v6 rear, 5" alcan's F+R, the list goes on.
I wouldn't bob the bed, it's in too good condition for that...
oh, and how cant you forget, supercharged 3.4 swap!
Well... I plan on getting rid of it. I was entertaining the idea of an eBay auction and selling it as a parts truck. I pick this up tomorrow...Originally posted by TimeBomb

Do you have an old Toy voodoo?Ya man, i got an 89' 4Runner, and looking for a pickup to SAS for cheap ( i think i can get a frame from an 85 in good condition...)Originally posted by ghettogt76
Ya, that's why i like this truck, good mileage and body (i have to do body work on my 4runner, that's why i want a pickup from the states that doesn't need it).
TimeBomb, if you're serious of getting rid of it, PM me... oh and remember i'm only 16 so i don't have a fortune to spend LOL...
I'll sell you my '90 Toy, only about a billion miles away in CA It has a new T chain with metal guide, water pump, oil pump, HG, head bolts, valve job.... 213k miles (gotta love toyota)
I used to have an 85 Toy on 36's... still miss that thing now. So I am selling my '90 to get an 82

Yeah, I like 1st gens the best. Kick ass body style if you ask me, not to mention most of them have the great 22R in it.
Here she is with the Bullit in the back:

Not so.
My first car was a '63 Ford 1/2 ton. 6cyl, three on the tree.
I sold it in 1989 to the father of a HS friend. The truck now has something like 380,000 miles on it and the cyl head has never been off the block.
Maintainence.

God damn, that looks so easy. Toss the bike in the back. Couple straps done. I've had my fu**ing bike almost fall off my trunk rack like 2x on 495S. Last time all that was holding the bike (my hardtail) was the pedal that got stuck on the rack somehow as my front tire was eroding away at 70mph on the pavement
Now it takes me like 15 minutes to mount/dismount the bike as I have to use 80 straps to make sure it doesn't fall off. Nice truck btw, my buddy has one in forest green. I've got my eye on something like this. But doubt I'll be buying any of the supposed OFF-FRAME restorations on ebay. What a hoax some of the trucks are on there. Slap some bondo on it, paint it bright red, throw in a new carpet, some edlebrock valve covers and air filter and it's suddenly worth 12k. Anybody know anyone selling anything like this C-10 or old F-100, let me know. Knuckle
Those things are ALL OVER the central valley in CA.
Good 'ol tough farm trucks.

Yeah, I'd never get something like that. I like the truck but I'm not into the lowering/mexicanization thing. Plus where I live, I'd lose my crossmember in about 5 minutes on my street.

Whoa, I take offense at that on a number of levels.
What's the problem with that? Your not a screaming liberal are you
Is it not a fact that lowering of vehicles is not primarily a Mexican/Hispanic practice? I rest my case. Discrimination? NOT.
Knuckle
Hmm when I was 19 my car was lowered, I guess I was mexican then? What about my lifted Jeep, was I white during that period? What if while I owned the lifted Jeep I also had a Jetta with shorter springs in it? Wow, that presents a quandry now dosen't it? White and mexican at the same time? Would that be Spanglish?Originally posted by Knuckleslammer

Lowering is common practice in hot rodding regardless of the ethnicity of the owner be it white, black, latino, or asian. In some cases to improve handling, but most often for asthetic reasons (I personally shun the latter when it is done to lend the appearance of the former).
Liberal? Hardly.
Discrimination? No.
Ignorant sounding statement? Bingo.
