    Does anyone know any history on this big ugly Fly-N-Hi 80's Toyota show truck I've got?

    Click this link and roll down to the bottom for pictures of what's left of the door panels and door http://imgur.com/a/LJCTi The truck was red. It has jute padding under the carpet, a back of cab carpeted cover, a different headliner that matches the door panels I think, and the door panels...

    This one was originally a sort of medium red. Interior looks like it was gray velour, gauge cluster seems to have been detailed in blue around the gauges. Bed had padding and a bed cover of some kind. I don't think it was originally on the 40's. A friend that swears he remembers seeing it said...

    How long ago was that? Must have been a while, the tan paint is pretty well burned off this truck. Original color was a sort of dark red. If it had the stripes and was that dark red then it was the truck from the magazine someone linked. Maybe it was built, in that magazine, later sold and...

    Does anyone know any history on this big ugly Fly-N-Hi 80's Toyota show truck I've got?

    Tried contacting the people that ran that business and didn't have any luck, never heard back from them. I'm trying to remember what magazine that red truck with the same side stripes was in. It got posted to one of the other forums I had asked around on but the post is gone now. It wasn't as...

    Nope. Moving out of state eats up a surprising amount of time. Having to whittle down a fleet of 18 or so rigs eats up more. I've done more in the last week with it than in the previous 3 years. Somehow I'm reasonably sure I'm not the only one that has long stalled projects that seemed...

    Honestly, at this point I'm not sure. I don't imagine it'd be terribly great for actual wheeling. They've bolted so much stuff to it it's massively heavy, and I dunno how much flex that setup would have in reality. I can say with all those shocks when I rolled it off the trailer I didn't bother...

    Neat. Thanks. I'd love to hear anything about it. Curious why it was built the way it is. Also curious when it's rapid decline started. I'm wondering if it was entirely the idiot I got it from that beat it up so bad. Sounds like up till semi recently it was still being shown and taken care of.

    So, a few years ago I picked up this...thing. I was looking for a reasonably stock unmodified first gen 4x4, and instead I ended up with this. I mean, I got the nice first gen later, but this giant over chromed monstrosity came first. Here's a gallery of pics right after I'd picked it up...

    The guy with that big ugly Fly-N-Hi

    Howdy. I'm Jay. I like weird old cars and trucks and stuff, have owned a lot of them from the 20s to modern rigs. The stranger the better. Have owned a number of the 80's Toyota 4x4's in mostly stock or slightly lifted trim. Mostly I'm interested in the 72-78 earlier trucks. Not a lot of...
