Howdy folks,
Looks like a wealth of info here. I'm Joe from WA state and happend upon an 86' crewcab factory hiboy.
The seller said he bought it new in 86' and had 71,000 original miles on it. While I thought he was full of BS I couldn't help but notice how good of shape it was in. To my suprise I found several indications he was telling the truth. Pedals seamed new as did the floor where a heal hole should be. The shifter boots, door panels and roof were immaculate. EVERYTHING works. The cigarette lighter had never been used. The diesel only fuel labels are still wraped around both filler caps. Upon removal of the canopy I discovered the bed bolts were spotless and free of rust. And of course it runs great! While its not without a couple bumps bruises and a couple after market parts. I think I scored a gem. I even found a used turbo online for $100 which appears to be complete and in good shape. I hope to be picking some brains soon!
