TOY: RE: 85 toyota for sale in wyoming at an auto auction - cheyenne

["Payne, Mike K." <MPayne1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finding blue will be tough.

You are going to have a harder time finding Toyota seats that old in good shape than just making something work.

I went to the junkyard and just perused around.  I saw some nice buckets in a 93 Eclipse and have the guy 40 bucks for them.  Much better than the stock SR5 seats in my Xtra Cab... that is for sure.  It did take some interesting creativity to get them in, but you can make just about any seat fit in there with some scrap metal and a little time.

IIRC, bucket seats will bolt in to a truck with a bench seat no problem... if you can find a good set.  They are out there... just hard to find and they are pricey if they are in good shape.  Especially the SR5 seats.

hey all,

just thought i would let you all know i went up to an auto auction in 
cheyenne wyoming about 2 weeks ago to sell my old wrecked jeep, so in 
exchange for towing my jeep up on the flatbed I drove another guys toyota 
up there for him and it didnt sell then, anyway I just thought I would 
pass on the info if any of you are interested, I think it was an '85, it 
has the 22r and 5 speed tranny, regular cab blue body, minimal rust, 
couple inches of lift.  I drove it about 50 miles to get to cheyenne and 
it runs great, the only thing that I know that it needs is a power 
steering pump, the one on it works but it makes that "bad"  sound, anyway 
I know the guy only has $500 into it so I think if he gets an offer of 
pretty much anything more than that he will probably take it (but dont 
quote me on that:-) anyhow, if anyone is in the area or planning to be in 
the area here is the url for the auction house:

http://www.wyautoauction.com/

I know you can go in and check out the vehicles most any time and I think 
they would take offers even between auctions but I dont know for sure, the 
Nov 22nd auction was my first time there. I believe the next actual 
auction is going to be at the beginning of Jan due to christmas and all, 
just an fyi if anyone is looking for an older toy or a parts rig.

later,
steve


oh, also anyone know where I might find a set of bucket seats to replace 
the bench in my 89 toyota extra cab? the interior is blue and I would 
prefer to use the same color but other colors may be acceptable if they 
are in decent shape, also does anyone know if the mounts will fit the same 
holes as are used on the bench seats? or have any advice on suitable 
swaps? much appreciated and sorry for the lenght of this post!

I'm looking to reupholster the seats in my '88 4runner.  I found someone
selling brand new fabric from an '89 4runner (was removed from 4runner
when new to customize it).

Will the '89 fabric fit my '88 seats?

Thanks.

Hi Peter,
My guess would be yes. :-)
