Exceptional resto job there and certainly the right color. Someone will be proud to own/drive that.

I had to stop myself from bidding. I love that truck! GLWS.
Edit: I want to clarify that I almost bid on it when it was at $13K...I don't have the kind of money it's at now!!! Congrats, Mike!

I could bid right now...
here's to me not being able to bid later in the week!
I am guessing what I think the final bid will end up at, but I will keep it a secret until the end to not throw off the bidding in any way shape or form.

Three hours to go! I am excited to meet the new owner soon. It is always hard to part with a truck you have spent so much time with. I know Mike and I are sad to see it go.

well bought in my opinion!
I sure hope the new owner enjoys it.

Dunno how you feel but that's a darn fair price the new owner got for the job you guys did.

yea both happy sad.
I think it may have gone much higher, didnt make much at all..but at the end of the day we accomplished what we wanted. We learned a lot, rescued a real original truck from an impending death, breathed new life into her, put good use to some of the remaining toyota stock of parts...It was left for dead, and now it isnt...it will live on and hopefully be a posession to be proud of for a long time to come.
so thats cool

Congrats!
I was surprised it didn't go over $45k which was my guess.
Be proud, what a great rig and the new owner will ENJOY all your hard work for years to come.
