It's been a loooong time since I posted about this car. It sat outside for a few more years lol.
One night we decided to get it running (long process) but years of Ohio road salt caused some major rust, to the point where it was sketchy to put up on a lift: https://youtu.be/2SLrM1Lgkb8
So I had a spare not-too-rusty rolling frame from a 1987 Toyota 4wd pickup.
Then we bought a 1989 Toyota 4wd pickup with a VERY rusty frame and a 3.0 v6 & 5 speed for $500 as a drivetrain donor for the 87 frame:

Next we modified the 87 frame to fit the V6/5speed drivetrain from the 89 truck:

And that brings us to 2022! We haven't worked on it much this year... hoping to get back into it soon!
