Words fail to convey the love Ifeel for this little truck, It moved all the crap of friends and family for 29 years before the day it did’t start. That ended up not being cheap, but now I know how an HEI with points works.

More later, but in case you were wondering, the box is made from two sets of ranger splash box sides, 1st gen neon 3rd brake lights modified to accept #1157 bulbs, some pieces of my old futon, a Pontiac Aztek gas door/bucket some 16 gauge steel under the gallons of fiberglass, and what was left of the original box.

Next to a cuppa coffee for scale purposes.

Toyota quality right there. 29 years is impressive , how many miles?

only about 150,000 in glorious peoples Canadian metric distance units. On this one is not the miles it’s the years. Was rusting on the boatride over from Japan. Has now refused to start 4 times. (beats battery cables with coffee cup) there I fixed it. Its my millenium falcon.

Got her run in now, there was some smoke, but truck seems to have the power to repair itself. Never have to worry about using up all the miles. The rust is strong with this one.
