Lets welcome the Green Machine ! 1975 Toyota pickup!

Okay, after quite a long wait, I finally got a few pictures of my 75' Toyota pickup longbed, she has 76,XXX miles on her, all original, including the mirrors, the hubcaps. It runs perfectly and will be my daily while I'm bagging my 87', Ive drove it around and put about 10 miles or so on her and it handles perfectly considering the stock items. The shocks are original ( you know what that means - its wake time baby ) She has minor rust in the bed floor, but had been undercoated in the late 80's so, very, very minimal rust underneath, all panels have some dings but no rot. . . I paid, get this, $275 cash & ran for the border with her, no leaks, shes just a lil weathered for her age, lil stuff nothing major at all, shifts like a dream, no slop in clutch and no wandering when driving. A few things to replace, but totally drivable and itll free me up as a parts hauler for my other baby. Much more to come on both my rides, so stay tuned!So here are some pictures, Let me know your thoughts . . .

sweet man!
Gotta love the old school ones. there getting so hard to find now.

Your telling me, I looked for 4 years to find one that I could work on AND afford. As for the condition and price, I wasnt going to let this go, I paid on the spot! I was willing to pay up to $1,000, but cash talked and I drove like hell! So thrilled . . .

Wow, you stole that one bro. Nice find.

what were people thinking back then with the colors of vehicles.. lol
baby shit green... but kewl truck, good find man.

Very cool. A guy around the corner from me has one of these...and I have always loved it.

Hey all, took some new pictures with ( the green machine ) & ( LowNloud )! I also, mounted my old Eagle alums on her, took a few pictures after I DEEP scrubbed her to get all the sap, bird sh*t, oxidation & spot rust off. . The rims are 7" wide with 0 offset, so they totally stick out like the old school stuff , they are 195 - 55's that I used to have on LowNloud before I purchased the new ones in black. With the new rims and tires & fugly azz rear bumper gone, the truck now sits about 2.25" lower, NOW thats how I like it, lil closer to mother earth, soon to be adding 3" drop blocks and cuttN' the coils to bring her down a lil' more and that'll pretty much be about it till I get LowNloud bagged. I replaced all the exhaust manifold gaskets ( they were all shot or totally GONE ) and then got everything tightened & greased up, totally ready to be RollN'! YES, the camper mirrors are comming off and being replaced by single oval mirrors, and that 3' extendable radio antenna that is capable of picking up NASA deep space signals is being removed. All in all, she cleaned up nice and itll maka fine rollR' till I get a chance to dig deeper. Thanks for all the compliments. . .

thats crazy how the bed is so much higher up then the cab.. looks funny.

yes, I dont know what they were smoking when they thought of matching the middle body line, but not the bottom of the bed and the cab, not to mention the fact that since its the longbed version, it looks hella different. BUT, dropped longbed Toyotas' are what first got me into minitrucks, ALWAYS loved that look . . .

Welcome green machine, you are beautiful!!!

The old yotas are just plain badass, my Dad had a 76 and my new truck is an 82.
