1990 Toyota Pickup - Reanimation

We have a bit of a vehicle problem at the moment.  Nick's 1999 Toyota Rav4 blew a transmission seal recently and is out of commission until we decide how we will fit it.  Meanwhile we are one vehicle short.  We have this 1990 Toyota Pickup which has been in storage for the past 6 years.  We decided it might be a little cheaper and faster to get the pickup working than the Rav4.  The pickup only needs new front brakes, new rear brakes, a tailpipe, cat, windshield, carburetor, gas tank, battery, radiator, and tires.  Other  than that it is good as new.  Nick hopes to have it back on the road by the end of August working in his spare time.

For two years the old Toyota has waited patiently in the woods.
Today is the day it will move again - although not under its own power.
Gravity is sufficient to get it onto the road.

We used the tractor to pull it to a level spot where it can be worked on.
