This is a picture of my 1987 Toyota pickup a couple days after I bought it. This lil' truck is now a 3 owner truck and has its original paint with very minimal rust in the bed panels ( go figure ). It was VERY WELL maintained and is still to this day! This is a picture of my truck when I first got it home and cleaned up. . .

Truley a great shot of the backend with the newly dropped rearend, Tinted tailights ( Sticker City.com ) & the Tonneau cover I purchased from ( BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com ) for 174 $ with shipping, I did have to modify the mounting procedure due to the bed style, but, all in all, I think it looks great, has a very thick vinyl & I can still use my tailgate, plus under that shes got the bedliner !
