I dont know yet, im debating on what to do. I think i might find one in worse shape and beat on it, rather than jack this one up.

That is one of the cleanest 1st gens I have ever seen. Do us all a favor , find an old beater and keep that truck on the street. Heck , if I had one that clean I'd keep it in a garage with a car cover over it. 1st gen toyotas that clean are an endangered species.

That is one nice rig!.... I'm jealous.

YES!!! save that truck!  I kinda wish I'da saved mine and found another in more of a wheeling mode to build but oh well. Find another first gen and swap the duals and driveline out.

I know i just got the truck but i am looking at selling it. or trade.

so i am looking at getting 5k for it or trade for an extra cab toy. or a 4runner. so if anybody is interested let me know. you can get a hold of me from this profile or my other one.

If it's in as good condition as it looks you can get more than 5k for it.  I'd buy a wheelin truck, swap the duals into the wheeler.

If you sit on that thing long enough I am sure you could pull 8k for it.  that's what I'd do.
I'm going yota JUST so I can buy from Marlin more.
