Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / July 2006getting rid of 1986 truck in midwest - impossible!
I have a 1986 2wd base model truck with a lot of upgrades and rebuilt parts, but nobody in or around Chicago wants any of them. It runs fine, but the bottom end is making the telltale noises of an engine on it's last leg, and I stupidly primered it on a whim, so it looks crappy. Ball joints are dead too (clunk clunk clunk). Any ideas? small parts going to Ebay, but body parts, etc.???? How do I get Midwesterners to buy rust free 1986 toyota body parts? Do you know anybody in or around Chicago who needs good 1986 Toyota body (or any kind of) parts. Cylinder head has 15000 miles on a complete rebuild with new exhaust valves. Entire brake system is new. It came from Cali about three years ago..... lolomcdoo@gmail.com Long bed or short bed? > I have a 1986 2wd base model truck with a lot of upgrades and rebuilt > parts, but nobody in or around Chicago wants any of them.

Lower the price, or call the Jewish Defense League, or other charity of your choice, and take the receipt they give you and write the value off of your taxes. >I have a 1986 2wd base model truck with a lot of upgrades and rebuilt > parts, but nobody in or around Chicago wants any of them.

Actually didn't drive it into the ground, just want to drive something else, all it needs is a bottom end rebuild and ball joints. Other than that I took really good care of it. I bought it for 2500 and put about 1000 bucks into it over a 4 year period. I am just surprised that nobody wants unrusted parts off of it. Tried listing it on Craigslist and people responded, but then never emailed back. To the nice person who asked if it's a long or a short bed, it's a short bed. To Jeff Strickland, try being a little nicer and maybe not stupid as well (Jewis Defense League????). This is excactly the kind of BS we don't need around here, so go home, Schmuck. > Dude, > You drove it into the ground, and now want to sell it to somebody? [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > lolomcdoo@gmail.com Do you have pictures of your truck? Are its parts interchangeable with 1988 versions of the same? Yours, mothy Yeah, I have a bunch of pictures, and all the parts are interchangable with a 1988, assuming it is 2wd. I will put the pictures onto my Photobucket account tonight when I get home from work, so you can see them. I tried to get them off my Craigslist listing, but it is expired. The bed is the 'indented' version (it has an indent around the top edge). The tranny does not grind going into gear at all, or pop out of gear and has had the fluid changed every 30 thousand miles (at least since I've owned it). The body parts are rust free but do have some dents, but no big ones. It does not have power steering or AC. Most of the mechanical parts are in good working order. If you need a part let me know and I will check it out to make sure it is up to spec. The seat is in near new shape, and is fuzzy dark grey. The instrument cluster is the SR5 one with oil pressure, tach, and voltmeter. It reads 260,000, but everything works. Newer parts are: front brake calipers rotors (never been turned) brake master cylinder clutch master cylinder + secondary cylinder recently rebuilt parts: Cylinder head (15000 miles ago - pressure tested - new exhaust valves - works with carb. or fuel injection) Carberator 15000 miles ago, although it has a small 'dead spot' in between acelleration and cruising, which may or may not be fixable by adjusting the high and low idle so they overlap. Rear wheel cylinders other parts: radiator (power steering ready - no leaks, always kept coolant clean) brake booster oil pump water pump doors (no dents or rust) windows (non-vent having style) manifolds both in good shape > Do you have pictures of your truck?

This is excactly the kind of BS we > don't need around here, so go home, Schmuck. I'm sorry I suggested the JDL, but they have a program that everybody has heard of, and we all have different programs in our local community that do the same thing -- take cars and trucks as donations and give a tax receipt. I could have suggested the local organization here that has this program, but the odds are good that you haven't got the same program in your area, and this would render an otherwise good suggestion incomprehensable. I'm not selling the JDL here, I only use it as a basis for understanding how one might donate a car or truck and get a tax deduction. And, I WAS being nice. You have a 20-year old truck that is worn out. Face the fact without taking offense. One more thing, it's "YOU'RE an a.shole ... ," I may be, but my post is not one of the ways to tell. disregard the post in which I got upset at jeff strickland, I had just woken up, and maybe took it the wrong way. After reading it again I am not sure he was being as much of a creep as I originally thought he was. Se la vie. I'm really a happy guy!! loren > Dude, > You drove it into the ground, and now want to sell it to somebody? [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > lolomcdoo@gmail.com Apology accepted.

I kept looking for a "delete posting" button, but there ain't one!! I guess it's just the difference between somewhere where they use road salt and San Diego where the truck came from. Nobody has 20 year old cars here, but there I could sell parts without any hesitation. Totally understandable, but hard for me to accept. When I bought the Volvo 240 that will replace the truck, I never thought I would be stuck with the truck or having to part it out.... maybe I'll just make a road warrior car out of it and scare my neighboors, I just bought an arc welder....... hhmmmmmmm.... > Apology accepted.

Couldn't you load anything other than thumbnail pictures? jim menning I don't know what the deal is, the links are supposed to be to the full size pictures! Oh, wait, they all have a th_ in front of the photo name..... how annoying! I guess click on it and then take the th_ out of the name, and it should take you to the large photo.... stupid photobucket. > > here are photos; > > http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n296/toyotruck23/th_DSCN0139.jpg [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > jim menning >I don't know what the deal is, the links are supposed to be to the full > size pictures!

Check out my 1988 (w/ 73K miles) in the link below. I've actually seen Shriners drive larger vehicles in parades! Your cap might look swell on my hotwheel! Yours, mothy http://www.fritter.com/main/cremepuff.jpg Besides my '05 Tundra, I have a 1986 2wd Chevy S-10 that I drive all the time (to save gas and the miles on the Tundra). I paid $300 for it 3 years ago last April. I haven't done a thing to it but brakes and a tune-up when I bought it, plus an occasional oil change. It's rusty and ugly (but never been wrecked!), I'm the second owner and the tires are still good! People at work keep trying to get me to sell it. I've hauled a bed load of railroad ties, several bed loads of gravel and once I hauled 1,960 lbs of topsoil!!! The front wheels kept popping up off the ground on my way home! I never much cared for GMs but this little S-10 is TOUGH!!! Dave >I have a 1986 2wd base model truck with a lot of upgrades and rebuilt > parts, but nobody in or around Chicago wants any of them.

Broke a.s bum. I like that it drives like a go-cart. I just need to duct tape the front bumper back onto it! weeeeeee. BTW, the shell fits perfectly on a barbie car! Hot wheels!!
