I haven't posted for the last week because I was in California
recovering my stolen Toyota truck and helping on my Sister's steel
awning project.

The truck is fine.
I was able to restore almost all the trim bits that were stripped, from
Bay Area junk yards.
The last 2 items were found today just south of Seattle, a really nice
Cloth bench seat and an antenna mount.

Just goofy the stuff they took.
In cleaning the truck out I removed the seat and found some hypodermic
needles, a LARGE hunting knife, and a baggy of some suspicious herb
wedged in the seat cushion.
I don't think the cops really searched it very well before impounding
it.

All told it cost me about $600 to get all the parts to put it back
together.
Luckily they left the engine alone.
This is the original engine and at 150,000 mile I just got 25MPG in the
mountains and 33 MPG everywhere else.
Damn but I do love 22R's.
This engine just purrs.
It is the most valuable part of the truck.

If anybody knows of a rear sliding window for a Toyota xtracab pickup
'84 - '88, please let me know.
A new aftermarket one from JC Whitney is going to cost about $125.

I found one in a junkyard today, but the jackasses had twisted the
frame getting it out of the truck.

The window guys have told me to just cut the gasket off to remove it
and buy a new gasket for the install.

The rear sliding window is the last piece I am looking for.

Oh BTW I passed my Certified Weld Inspector test.

I get to put CWI after my name from now on.

Yeah I like that.
