    The Toyota was a 4x4 but spent its life in the desert and had 350,000 miles on it, the guy wanted it and I got a 72 Skylark. Someone took the 350 out and put in a 300 2bbl. (Would like to find a 4bbl 65 manifold) and it has the Th350 transmission. All drum brakes that don't work, it starts and the transmission does move the tires both ways (it's on jack stands in my garage). I have been finding deals, front bumper, grill..'71, tail light bezels, fan shroud etc. To replace the missing, bent or broken stuff. My goal is to eventually put a 350 with a Q.J. back in it and a 6 speed manual granny to see if I can get 25 m.p.g. while still being able to have fun.
