Chris, it's my buddies fully restored '72 Stepside. Never seen, or been driven in the rain. 3 speed on the column. Also the stepside is apparently the really long version which makes it even more rare.
It's a sweet ride.

Chris that thing is awesome. I'm in love with his truck, but there is no way in hell he'll be selling it. I'll try and get you some pics of it so you can take a look.
On a Supra Side Note, I purchased a 38 mm Tial wastegate w/ dump tube. I also purchased a 7M helicoil stud kit courtesy of Driftmotion since several of mine are shot. I am also in the process of picking up an electric fan set-up courtesy of Adrenaline Motorsports. After that I will be plumbing my full-slow oil set up and putting everything back together.
More updates to come.

How have I missed this thread for so long? Great build so far. I like your choice of internals btw 
Keep up the good work man.

Thanks White,
It's been a long road, but hopefully I'll start making some progress shortly. I'd really like to pick up a AEM EMS and ditch the maft pro, but we'll see if my pocket can afford that.

Just emailed about those carpets. My shadow gray interior is in great condition but all of the upholstery is ripped/disgusting from the PO. I'm glad you lead me onto this! Any installed pics yet?
Nope no pics as of now. I actually just picked up the car from storage and I'll be installing the carpet some time next week.
Pictures to follow soon.

Quick update:
Chris came over on Saturday and helped me get the car out of storage. Luckily, everything went smoothly and she made it in one piece. There was quite a bit of moisture in the garage so I had some unfortunate mold on the panels. I spent a few hours cleaning and disinfecting everything. Overall, she cleaned up well.
Here are some pics we snapped after I cleaned it up. The car still needs to get wetsanded and buffed, but I think it looks pretty good.
Enjoy,

Hahaha! They're coming. I've still got to fab up the brackets and re-align my intercooler.
So much stuff still left to do unfortunately.

Mo- we'll get it back together and drivable, bring it up my way and we can remount that intercooler and make new brackets. I've got so much scrap steel it's ridiculous. Getting a plasma cutter this winter, too.

Sweet! You're getting all types of cool toys. I'll be changing the tranny fluid this weekend, along with the 1-piece driveshaft. I think I may install the new carpet as well. After that, it's heli-coil time.
Crisp, she did turn over briefly. I wanted to make sure nothing was locked up. The exhaust manifold and turbo are not on, but it sure was nice to hear that engine.
