Gary’s 88′ Pickup

This is my 1988 Toyota Extra Cab 2wd, ''Retirement Toy''…It’s a show truck which has been driven around 5,000 miles a year (to shows, over the past 18 years). I started the build in 2001 when I retired and never stopped. I change something every year to stay competitive, which she seems to be! I have done most all the work at my house in the shop/garage (including the paint)!
