New Guy from AZ
« on: Mar 10, 2014, 02:44:17 PM »
Pround new owner of a 1983 toyota pickup.

Decent shape mechanically, straight, minimal rust.  Needs  a couple minor things but overall I'm pretty happy with it.



First on the to-do list is trying to get the a/c back together.  Trying to find a CA compressor bracket has been pretty impossible so far.  Anyone know if the federal bracket would work if a spacer is used to get the pullies to line up?  Smog pump would be removed of course.

The paint job is ok.  Looks good from far but far from good.  Lots of drips etc.  It'll do for now though.  Ultimately Im planning on repainting it an original color with the stripes. Love that vintage look.
