Thats a very cool and unique van!...

I've never seen a top like that on a Toyota. It looks like my buddy's "Get-A-Way" van (Chevy) perhaps the same company?
I bought a 4wd 5-spd from RI on this site with about that much rust. It made it more difficult to work on teh underside (broke a few bolts here and there) but over-all is just a cosmetic thing IMO.
There was a blue 88 4wd 5-spd for sale on the Seattle CL a couple weeks ago. I was actually out there for something else and rang that fella's phone off the hook. He would call me back or have his strange girlfriend call back, promise to meet up with me, not show up, then ask if I can put a deposit on the van before seeing it. I kept telling him if it checks out, I'll pay him the whole amount in cash (just meet up with me!!!) he finally gave up calling me back and presum'ably sold it 3 times over. Sad, it was only $800 bucks. Maybe someone here bought it?
Anyway, very cool find. East coast 80's Toyota anything is hard to find. Less sold and rust kills them by late 90's. If you ever need a home for that top....
