Great News

As some of you know, I own my grandpa's first Toyota truck. I have since customized and restored it, and made an SST model out of it. It is currently in need of an alternator and battery and it will be out on the streets once again. Now the good news: Today I will be getting my Grandpa's 2nd Toyota truck! It is a 1996 Toyota TACOMA SR5, extended cab, 2WD. It is equipped with the 3.4L 3400 V-6. It has been gargarage kept its entire life and is in mint condition ( just like the first one he gave me! ). The 2 trucks are exactly 10 years of age diffrent. My 1986 Toyota was one of the best trucks ever produced by the company and was the set standard for all Toyota trucks. Now the Tacoma is the representation of what the simple Toyota truck used to be.They have virtually the same frame and chassis, but an entirely diffrent body style with more curves and aerodynamics. My Grandpa is also having it tunned up today before I get it so It will be practically a brand new truck! I am so thankful that I now will have a dependable vehicle instead of just relying on my POS Grand Prix.
