1979 Toyota 4-wheel drive: street submission retro



My buddy id'd this hooptie at Java Flats last year. I seriously doubt she is still rolling axles on the rock, but boy if this truck could talk! Dollars to donuts it's up on blocks in someones yard per article 13.2 of the Bells Flats homeowners association covenants.

The purse line and Grundens appear to be serving a structural purpose on the wheel well or frame...as does the dirty tighty whiteys protruding below the "Freedom isn't Free" panel sticker.  One question a casual observer would have is how does one fill up the gas tank?  Where the gas cap should be (forward of the right fender) is a lot of nothing.  Somewhere, there is 10' foot Zodiak missing a cruise tank and hose. The seatbelt hanging out the door is a very nice touch.  The kicker:  A wicked kayak rack!

"...Six-nine Buick, deuce keeps rollin'
One hubcap 'cause three got stolen..."  My Hooptie, Sir Mix-a-Lot, 1989
