Hold My Beer & Watch This
My Truck Stays Broken
I never really did a good job documenting the process of building my 1985 Toyota pickup. I bought it stock, and with a bad motor. Here is was the day I bought it.
My intention was to make this a decent rock crawler that is typical of these pickups, and to be able to drive it on the street if I ever wanted to. I will go through any old photos to see if I can remember any kind of timeline on how things happened.
First, I pulled out the motor and decided to replace it with one I found on craigslist for pretty cheap.
I took the time to sandblast the "new" motor and clean it up a bit, as well as all the brackets that are attached to it.
Everything was painted to make it look newish, and maybe fool a few people to think the red/orange block is Cheby V8. Nobody has been fooled to date.
