Talking Another repu to the collection

Just picked this up in Ontario CA.got word of this through the repu forum.got it for a good price,runs and drives good.only thing is that it has a toyota 20R motor and trans,air conditioner works and all.interior seems to have been done up at some point so its alright.gonna run it like this till the motor gives up so it might be a while since those motors don't like to give up too easy,at least it will be good on gas lol.

Good find turbo dave, looks like most everything is there. Nice to see another truck with the trim moulding.

I'm trying to get a REPU group to go to Stone Brewing on 4/27 or 4/28 if you're interested there's a post on the repu forum.\\

It's a...TEPU!

Nice looking 'REPU'. I would love to own one of these. But that may never be... Congrats on the find! Oh, and has the AC been switched to r134a or still r12?

I could've sworn I saw this on Portland craigslist around a year ago. I guess it made its way down the coast. Nice truck, definitely on the to-buy list someday.

Cool truck, but we are gonna need pics of 22year old bday girl.

haha, j/k. I've been seriously trying to deny the fact that I've been wanting a REPU for years, and that's a nice find (minus the boinger)! I don't know what I'd do if one like that popped up on my local C/L
