Yeah, I've been hearing elsewhere definitely aftermarket but period correct. PO told me his grandfather purchased them when he purchased the truck to have an extra set. I'm leaning towards leaving them on but offering the truck with the factory alloys as well.

Yeah, I mean I get that. The average age of our fleet is probably about 30 years old so I run into stuff being NLA pretty regularly. At the same time, there's certain stuff that breaks regularly that either the OEM or aftermarket sees a value in continuing to produce because so many vehicles...

So the moment I first saw this black 87 Deluxe I've been working on I was impressed by how nice the aftermarket wheels paired with the lines of the truck. In the name of originality I was dead set on polishing up a set of the standard alloys for her. But a minute ago I was in the garage and...

Hey all. I'm prepping to do a full respray on an 87 Deluxe I recently picked up. I'd like to keep it as original as possible and it has a black textured topper (not body matched) on the back. ChatGPT is saying for the topper I'm best off using SEM Trim Black Ultra in either satin or matte. As...

Wow, I'm kind of astounded nobody is making a window switch for these trucks. I'm new to the old 'yota truck world, coming in from MB land. For old Mercedes this is the sort of part that's either still in production or stocked for eons to come.

Is there any resource out there that shows all of the factory decals that were added on these?

I have a similar problem going on with a recent purchase. Haven't started troubleshooting yet but I understand ECM is one of the potential causes. How specific is the ECM to the vehicle? Like does it have to be within the same year or will any ECM within the same generation with similar options...

Hey katomiles. Do those rear quarters come off with bolts? I was under the impression they were welded on.

Topper color Question for the thread. I'm restoring a couple of Gen1s (1986 SR5 and 1987 Deluxe both 5speed 4x4 w/ 22RE) and will be painting both of them. I've noticed the toppers for most of the trucks on this thread are body colored but both of mine are a matte black with texture. Was a...

That's going to look great with mud on it!

How are you liking it so far?

Looking forward to seeing it!
