 I have a question about salvage yards or "breakers" in Kings terms (I think), anyhow is there an abundance of 1stgen toyota pickup parts there, just curious, cause all I see from Ih8mud is totally cool 70 series diesel cruiser stuff, so much so I imagine a land where the average dude just casually can pull up to a breaker at midnight-sunday and explore a vast sea of hardcore toyota parts as if it were candyland for U.S. rednecks...   (me, "I'll take that h55 tranny please" AUSSIE, "sure sir that'll be $100.00...AU) 

Do you see a lot of folks driving the older toyota stuff there or is it more of a "keep up with the Jones's" type thing there, very subjective, I know but it'd be cool to hear it from a local..

Welcome.

The older Toyota's going back to the late '70's(few car lines as well) are still popular hear, and in large populated areas, the wrecking yards(self service) are picked fairly clean, however the non self service yards can usually locate you any part you need, for a price.

Clean unmodified 4x4's here in California usually sell for $2500-5k for '79-'95 models.  The design of the older gens has held up well over the last 3 decades, which keeps them popular.
