    This amazing 1980 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 truck has been thoroughly restored, and is presented with dozens of good pictures detailing all the work.

    Every bolt was replaced with new stainless steel or original OEM bolts were reused when condition warranted it.

    Nice truck.

    How difficult is it to take the cab off? One of these days, I'd like to thoroughly clean and repaint the frame on my '88. The bed seems easy enough to take off but what needs to be done to take off the cab, but only to lift it up a foot or so while I clean/paint the frame?

    Thanks.
