fearincognito Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hello, im new to the site. I have come here to meet some more people that are into these types of trucks. Although my truck really doesn't have much of a support group. I was referred to this site from a friend, RadioRedline. I am hoping to just talk to some more people that might be able to help with some problems i might have, as well as i will try to lend a hand to anyone else. I own and am restoring a 1973 toyota hilux. Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. Quote Link to comment

NorCalDime Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) It reminds me of the Yellow 78 longbed i had. I loved that truck it was in mint condition till i smooshed the back of it into a bmw x5. then it rocked the black hood/grill. Ended up with a spun rod bearing and i got rid of it to get my 510 Edited November 17, 2009 by NorCalDime Quote Link to comment

denveratsun Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah..welcome aboard man! I love all sorts of old stuff..imported stuff and American! I loved all of my LandCruisers..all the way back to a 1958 FJ25...loved em!:) I must say though..at this point I think that Toyota built a few better looking cars but Datsun built better looking trucks...just my opinion.:D I really want an old Corona...1968-1969...yeah...way cool!:cool: Quote Link to comment

Nas Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 welcome! I have loved those toyotas ever since I saw one slammed on some drag style spun aluminum cragars (skinny front/ wide back) at a street meet as a kid. Whats the plan for yours? Hey Shonuff, Ive seen you rollin a few times. Last was a couple weeks ago. A group of car fanatic buddies and I were were shootin shit outside Zeeks pizza and you went by on Denny. We were all feelin your mustang rims. Quote Link to comment
Shonuff Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 thanks lol i deliver for zeeks in belltown :D Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Welcome! I have the best of both worlds- a Datsun and a Toyota. I really like your generation of truck but when I found a '71 I couldn't pass it up. I have been on toyotaminis.com and there is a lot info on there but I tend to spend most of my time on ratsun:D I look forward to your progress and I'll start updating my build thread soon. http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=14825 Quote Link to comment

1Low620 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 A guy in my bro's car club has a nice HiLux, it should be featured in minitruckin here pretty soon from what I was told. ...... ...... Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I must say though..at this point I think that Toyota built a few better looking cars but Datsun built better looking trucks...just my opinion.:D I was trying to think of a polite way to say the same thing. I'm more of a Toyota person, but the 620 is... dangit, I forgot the adjective I was looking for, but you know. Quote Link to comment
fearincognito Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 sorry hilux will top all in the end lol Quote Link to comment
fearincognito Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 you will have to tell me when it goes to the mag because i will buy a copy i dont normally buy that mag Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, 620s are good looking trucks but there's something about a Hilux, and besides you don't see them as much making them interesting:) Quote Link to comment
VoidDragon Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, 620s are good looking trucks but there's something about a Hilux, and besides you don't see them as much making them interesting:) Well, On the East coast, you don't see many Hilux OR 620s :P I've never seen a 620 on the road except the one I bought a month or two ago. And the only Hilux I've seen in the past 5 years was in a junk yard. Quote Link to comment
