I just bought this 55 F600 Saturday. I have wanted this truck for probably 10 years. The guy didn’t want to sell it but a few months back he said he was ready to sell it and also had a 52 F6. I got them both. But forgot to take pics of the 52.

My plan is to build an RV similar to Roosterbooster or Grendel I have been gathering parts slowly. I have the chassis already an 08 F550 4x4. I would like to find a cheap schoolbus with a 466e for the engine and trans. Then find a divorced 205. Someday by the time I retire I will be able to start on it.
 
I moved into my house in 2001. This Toyota hasn't moved ever that I have seen. I knocked again today to see if it was available for sale, but again, no answer. I'm gonna keep trying. And I'm not even a Toyota guy.
Keep after it. Looks pimp.

tracyb , specs? Thing looks pretty nice. I'd love to see you outfit it with your gear. :smokin:

I’d drive that back across the country…. :smokin:

I don't know much about it yet. other than what he wants done and that he plans to sell it after I'm done. so the price he told me minus what I would charge? i've got to talk to him but I'm on the otherside of the country visiting family now and haven't made time to call.

I know he's had it a long time and according to another friend who stopped by he probably bought it new, as its the same truck my friends dad has and story is they bought them at the same time. keychain says its a '79 K20. ever since i've know of the truck, the last ~20yrs, its just been his dump run truck.

what he told me minus the work he wants done puts it right about $3k. I don't know what Id do with it, but its seems like a good deal and I kinda like it. my friend who's dad had the same truck also wants to buy it, so it may just go that route. I'm not sure.
 
Tan Bug is mine, the 240 I was next to was one owner with 35k on it, prolly the cleanest one Ive seen since they were new. But it was an automatic :homer:
Aero coupe Monte SS was kewl, think they were only '87-88, pretty rare. And, when was the last time you saw an XR4Ti, let alone 2! :eek:
