Anyone have a Craigslist truck they can't stop thinking about?

I know it is silly, that is one of the reasons I do not buy a 1st gen Tundra, I can't stand looking at the dash, well that and lack of a manual trans on the V8's. There is just
something about shifting my own gears, my Tacoma has been for down for 5 weeks waiting on various parts, and I have been driving my auto trans Trooper....going a little nuts, missing it big time.
Always thought RC 1st Gen Tundra with a D-4D/5 Speed manny swap would be a way to get a modern HiLux-like here in the States.
Wish we could still get the bed style here on our trucks in the states. My 83 has the same style bed, and not only does it look great, it is very useful!

Derek, you should go get that low mileage Tundra! I think a regular cab long box would be SWEET.

I wonder why the bed hooks went away here? Maybe since Americans don't really really use their trucks for work?

I used to make bed rails for all of my trucks and they had those bed hooks. Pretty handy for trying stuff down

Well I'm headed that way tomorrow to go see family, so we will see!

Yep exactly! Most trucks I see here that are lifted up are cleaner and shinier than the Corvette driving next to it!

I just picked up my DC with 42,000 miles for a hair over $15K so hopefully they will work with you a little on price

I seriously watched this one for a couple days.

Will see. It's actually about $500 under blue book already. Seems like these tundras are starting to hold their value just as good as Tacoma's!

Edit: well, since the posting expired, guess I don't have to dream any longer

Heres CL fantasy of mine. Priced a bit rich to me but to each their own.
I would probably do a 70's inspired tan and metallic root beer paint john with a tear drop window on the back corner. HAHA
Love the old vans!

Oh, they are pretty much not deprecating any longer. On the rare occasions that I drive mine (2002 2WD-TRD Access Cab) its not uncommon to either have someone walk over and offer a compliment, ask what it is (it is completely debadged) or ask if I would consider selling it.
