Hey everyone, my name is John and I just joined this site today. I came across a 78 crewcab dually that someone is selling. The owner is asking $3,000 for the truck. He says its in good condition, mileage is 92,xxx. I love the look of this truck and I am very interested in buying it. I am not too familiar with Toyota's, so is there anything in particular I should look for when inspection the truck? I currently have a 97 Sonoma bodydropped, suicidedoors and a bunch of other work done to it. I plan on dropping a v8 in it this winter. I don't want to pass up this Toyota though, never seen one around before and I think it would look sick laying body!
Welcome bro ur right it would look sick Layin body, I'm not sure of anything specificly to look for on those trucks but there's a lot of info and knowledge on this site
Welcome John! How about the RN3# or 4# series ('79-'83) as an alternative? They are the best trucks in my opinion. At any rate, let us know on what you decide. Rick
Thanks for the welcome everyone! Rick I want to jump on this simply for the fact that its not everyday you find one. My plan would be to buy it now, and hang on to it for a little while. Once I get my s10 finished, this would be my new project. What you guys think about the asking price? $3k way too much for this thing?
