Hello!

Figured it's good a time as any to make this post.

Been working on restoring my Dad's old California spec'd 1980 4x4 pickup. So close to having it pass emissions, just ordered a "new" VSV.
Most of the work I've done to it has been thanks to y'all.

Much appreciated, look forward to showing it off.

Hello Gruff80,

Welcome  :beerchug:

As I have stated many times before, I very much respect and commend anyone who works at restoring and preserving these legendary classics.

Although the 14 years I 4-wheeled my 2 Toyota pickups were the most adventurous and fun years of my life,
if I could go back in time, I would not have thrashed and bashed my 1985 shortbed rock crawling.

I would have built a tube-frame rock crawler. :thumbs:
