Cool 40, even better story. Nothin' like an original, patina'd truck that runs great. Couldn't think of a better home for it to go to.
The patina on it is really cool. If the rear tub sill was solid it could just get a clear coat and look like Profitt did it. I'd even leave the fender dent, it's just such a perfect beauty mark. I love the hood with all the trim Dean got to put it back to year appropriate.Cool 40, even better story. Nothin' like an original, patina'd truck that runs great.

Have already discussed, it stays. 😊fender dent
Wish I could take credit for the license plate, but that’s all @SaintAgatha .Way to go Dan, nice way to remember Dean.
That was all @Crash . ❤️ We just had to get creative when they wouldn't approve anything with "Dean" in it.license plate
You know the ironic part is the old L43 from the 1980 Hilux is pretty much just a door stop now since he converted the pickup to a 5 speed and Marlin ultimate.That was all @Crash . ❤️ We just had to get creative when they wouldn't approve anything with "Dean" in it.
Dave, please write down what you remember about the’80 for Bring A Trailer ad copy.You know the ironic part is the old L43 from the 1980 Hilux is pretty much just a door stop now since he converted the pickup to a 5 speed and Marlin ultimate.
That's so cool! 😎👍Ladies' run today, maybe a first for this truck? My friend has no clue how to drive a manual so it was all me. I got us to the coffee shop and back without any major problems. I love this little truck. 😊
Nice! I love it. 😍😍😍💪💪💪That's so cool! 😎👍
I've been teaching my daughter to drive my fj60, but you inspired me to pull out the "older" iron for her to try today. The 69 fj40 is down with a bad throwout bearing, but the Stout is running nice. 4-on-the-tree, no synchro 1st, manual everything. She did great.
