TOY: Possible Double Cab Imports in US



Yes you're reading right.... I've got a connection in Costa Rica that can 
arrange an import of a 20 or 40' crate full of double cab toyota PARTS - these 
are NOT complete trucks (for EPA reasons) and will be imported in listed as 
used auto parts only - no paperwork with the cabs....

So that said - anyone interested?  The PRICE has not been worked out yet - it's 
dependant on how many I 'want' and how many per shipping container will fit and 
WHAT parts of the trucks/years people want... They're looking at the specifics 
right now but I told him to mainly look for 84-95 complete cabs with complete 
interiors - I want a complete bed but some may opt for a flatbed.

If anyone is *seriously* interested and has the MONEY to make this happen let 
me know... (I'm can't afford to front $10k right now) The guy that I am working 
with used to import gray market vehicles in the late 70's early 80's (MB's, 
BMW's, Porsche, etc.).  Right now we're totally guessing here but a complete 
cab and bed should run around $2k (+-) depending on condition, year, 
availability, and shipping costs....  Likely I'll be picking them up at a port 
in Texas and would arrange individual shipment from there.  

Other parts are a possibility but right now it's just cabs/beds.  Cross-post 
this wherever you think there may be interested parties.

P.S. anyone got any cab dimensions and bed dimensions for shipping
purposes.
