I don't know if anyone is around the Denver area, but there is a place here called the Yota Yard. They have about everything you could ever imagine for older toyota pickups and 4runners. The website is: http://www.yotayard.com/home.htm.

They don't update their online parts selection, so your best bet is to call them.

I've found countless parts I've needed for restoring my 1983 4x4, so it's a decent source.

Just picked up a 83 long bed pickup with 70,000 miles on it. It runs sweet, but it has an automatic trans. with overdrive. The OD will not always kick in. It will at times do it when everything is real hot. The truck sat for several years in a garage and was not driven. Anybody have any ideas where to start looking for the problem?

I have a 1983 don`t ever run them out of coolant over a longish period of time its easy to warp the head park it and figure out why its getting hot trust me great truck though had mine since 1994 I won't sell it no matter what also if you run into smog issues in CA put a new cat convertor in my truck passes better than some new cars.

I found a site that's selling fiberglass bodyparts. www.toyotafiberglass.com Might be a bit late for these postings.
