just a little bit about my build.
had a guy that told me he had an old flat bed Toyota for sale and would be willing to let it go for $350... as would most of you i imagine, i jumped all over it. the truck fired right up i drove it down the road checked 4wd drive everything seemed to be working ok........i was a little to excited for my own good though got the truck home and started to disassemble the interior, he had carpet sample for floor mats which also doubled as a floor board if you know what i mean.. if you take them out you could flinstone. i got to really checking out the body and it was in horrible shape, 1 bolt held the entire cab to the frame it came off immediately and the search was on for a donor. checked every salvage yard in a 3 state area and struck out. some friends told me to call a place that wasn't in the phone book and what do you know i got lucky, this guy is seating on a Toyota gold mine, couple fj's and 3 full yota trucks now only 2. i ended up getting an sr5 full cab in absolutely perfect condition, cab, interior, frame, spotless 22r, trans, and transfer case... $400 and he dug it out and loaded it on my trailer.
