Very cool story to this one. The interview you did was sweet. Thanks for sharing this piece of history and bringing back stories of these forgotten rigs for us.
I haven’t made it into the back of the truck yet as all those doors won’t open. Rusted latches. I would guess it’s still have the tools under the bench’s
How bad is the frame? If its anywhere near decent, you should just do a ptachwork repair on the body. Like just cut and weld, dont bother with bodylines or anything, just give it that mad max look.
Most likely nothing. as the body is so shot on this truck it would be a waste to throw rare none rusty parts at it. I may cut the rockers and quarters out to weld in some flat bars.
Well the body is too far gone. How many 55’s do you have in the yard? I say take all the best you have and make one “best of yard” pig. Best body/frame, best interior, best engine, etc. that crazy rust pig has the rubber floor mats…don’t see those too much any more.
I want you to get it running. Then, put your foot on the gas and rev the engine to about 6000 RPM to see if the engine can take, like most of the other country bumpkins on RUclips. If it does blow up at 6000 RPM, you can just say, "Look, I told yall the engine was bad" !!!
You talk too much. Just fix it with minimum bla bla bla. Watch how (SimonFordMan) fixes old cars, and try to learn something from him, he's the best. ✋
id put it back where i found it. or not even bother to start with.. toyota sorta got better, then between the 60 & 80, they lost the plot forever.. i drive a nissan gu.. because it has thru eye radius rods & a transmission brake. which toyota deleted.. then went yupi..
As Elvis said “Alittle less conversation & a little more action”
Me watching the intro: "The rust isn't too bad..."
Me two minutes in: "Ohhh...um...that bad..."
HAHA yeahhhh kind of the same thought I had before going to tow It home. Yeah 55s rust super super super bad.

totally! these trucks usually have a great history. ill try to document these truck with more interviews in other videos.
Look under the rear seat and see if it still has the hand crank. They're nice for turning the engine to find TDC...

Good to see you back Jonas. What are you going to do about that bodywork corrosion?
Most likely nothing. as the body is so shot on this truck it would be a waste to throw rare none rusty parts at it. I may cut the rockers and quarters out to weld in some flat bars.
Come out to Hawaii and get my 1985 working! Your content is always great and gives me hope for some other LCs in the fields.
Buy a ticket! And I’ll be there ha. There is always hope for these old rigs.
Save it,it's a Toyota 🎉
I’ll do my best. She at least will see the road one last time that’s forsure.
That poor iron pig needs a loving home!

Less commentary! Remember, WE aren't here for comedy 🤣 hour!
JUST the mechanical aspect.

Love that! Love the red ones
Of course it would run - what to do with it… sell it - heh

@ Ya that would be a good ‘run it through the woods’ 55

Another solid video, Bro. We released a portable Jump starter. Can we invite you to do a review? We have emailed for an inquiry.
