[SloCrawler [OP]]

good find chris

[Yota87Truck]

Yeah, pretty good deal.  I love the old rare Hilux trucks.  I just sold an 81 2wd, but it's just not the same as the even more rare hilux like you have.  Let us know what kind of MPGs you get.

interior, needs a little fixin

So I drove the truck all weekend, no problems other than my tires being under rated for all the weight I cary. I drove 15the miles to work this morning now it doesn't want to idle. Think I need to turn idle up and check vacuum lines. I think they had it turned way down to pass smog.
