Found an all original 1978 Toyota Wolverine parked on a ranch last night while looking at some construction equipment.
It's a complete unmolested truck but the floorboards are swiss cheese, surprisingly the interior is still in good shape, with a decent battery the radio worked and the engine turned over but had no spark (the reason it was parked over 20 years ago) It could get spark easily though and I did make it cough but I didnt want to start it for fear of running 20+ year old fuel through the carb. The land owner was given the vehicle with title from a friend of his sons who originally wanted to store the truck but later just gave up it up to pay for many years of storage ( I think he just didnt want to pay to have it towed).
Now I have to decide if it's worth buying and restoring, modding, or flipping.
Anybody else have experience or parts availabilty for these trucks?
Oh yea has the 20R with a 4spd and Dana frt/rr axles.
