I know for old school american trucks they have third party resellers like LMC Trucks that sell strictly american replacement parts but, do they have like a website that strictly sells old school toyota truck parts? i need a few things, headliner, carpet kit, original side mirrors, the list goes on... any help greatly appreciated.

 

i wish!

besides the few weirdo's on this forum (myself included) these trucks aren't worth fixin up. blow the motor and scrap em...

 

damn that really sucks. i really need the front grill off a 76 the one i have doesnt line up correctly and makes it look like garbage.. anyone wanna trade? ha ha. i think my front grill is to an earlier model...

 

is there a huge gap in the center between the grille and hood? mine is like that... i hate it. i'm lookin for the later grille too.

 

heres a pic in case interested...

 

heres my beef with that these trucks are worth fixing up even more so than the old V8s IMO they are better on gas and the eco system. these trucks are amazing and once you spend what seems to be an endless journey trying to track parts you will end up with a great looking machine.

 

And I'd really like another grill like yours!

I'm not sure yet what I plan to do with my 77' grill (perfect shape) once I've swapped the motor and whatnot into the 72', but I do plan on running the earlier Lux with it's original grill.

Though it would be nice to have a backup grill for her.

If I come across a nice later model grill, maybe we could trade. Does yours have any cracks or repairs?

*Don't worry Burnzya - still keeping an eye for you.

 

where do you typically find universal headliners?

 

no cracks or anything just doesnt line up and bothers me.

 

Any of your auto parts stores should have them. You can get it in vinyl or clothe, and in various colors, too. Comes in a roll with an adhesive side. Just have to trace, cut, and peel, then carefully install it.

My mom recently bought a roll to re-do her Corolla. $10 on clearance.

I met a dude once with a 76' and he used slats of bamboo! It actually looked pretty clean. A lot nicer than what I'd have expected had I not seen it.

But, yeah, headliner will probably be one of your easier issues.

 

bamboo??? thats crazy... but im planning on repainting it the united grey that VW uses for the gti. then putting in a black carpet/headliner and plaid Gti bucket seats in it but i wanna do l.e.d. dash lights and Hid lights before i repaint.

 

i posted info about my headlight swap on another page. and used purple led bulbs i had in the dash. not super bright but i dig the color

 

just use shag carpet for the headliner like the old vans. lol

 

ha ha i was thinking about doing that actually. black shag over my head.

 

ive been looking through your posts. did you ever find the name of the ebay seller?

 

ditto

word

 

ebay seller for what? sorry i'm kind of out of it right now.

 

no sorry i meant standard byker ( i think thats his screen name) he was saying he bought an HiD kit off of ebay that fit my style hilux.

oh ok. that's what i thought after i did a lil searchin here. lol
