So i finally am going to post. Im getting close to the actual body work of my SEMI frame off resto. I have a VERY RARE 1987 2WD Toyota X-Cab SR-5 Turbo. I will be posting pics real soon on this site. The chassis is just about done and I am starting to get quotes for the body work. The truck has 68k original miles and was used only to haul a trailer. Unfortunately the sale kiiled the bottom of the truck. Amazingly the only thing that didnt rot was the cab.
I have managed after 3 years to acquire a new frame, powder coat the suspension, intall all new lines, a rear disc brake setup (basically for look) Pics are coming and so is the truck

I have only ever seen 1 turbo (factory) truck and it was an 86. They wanted more for it than I could afford at the time, but if I could find one know at a decent price, I would get it. They look pretty sweet. 1 of those or a diesel or a dually, something unique

I owned an 87 Toyota 4WD XC SR5 Turbo. It was my first brand new truck & had it for 4 yrs. Ended up selling it to finance my first house. The house was a money pit & by the sounds of it wouldda been better off keeping it. Bummer .... Oh well....good luck with your project. Here's is my one and only pic of mine....

The 2WD turbo was the first Japanese A/T pickup I've ever seen to burn rubber on a straight line.

xedge:

Is that 4WD a turbo diesel or gas?

My 87 was gas & my first ever Toyota.
