1981 toyota 1 ton truck

[R.I.D.E.]

Oldest brother bought this new, 36 years ago. I put the military surplus bed on the truck when his camper basically fell apart from sitting under a Magnolia tree, probably 20 years ago. He got an engine and transmission from my youngest brothers truck when it was drowned during TS Isabell.

Now oldest bro wants to give me the truck. Left frame rail has some rust through, but the right is still very nice. I have some pieces from a trailer hitch that fit perfectly over the existing frame rails. Otherwise it has just been inspected and is driveable as is.

The "bed" is an old military surplus trailer they got form a surplus auction many decades ago, of the type they haul behind a Deuce @ a quarter truck.

Found a photo of the original configuration. We welded the top rear half of a cab from the rear floor to the windshield pillars.
