1983 Beige Toyota shortbed - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Stolen Wednesday, March 24th In Manteca California, at the Walmart Park and ride.
A 1983 Beige Toyota 4X4. It has a 4" suspension lift and 2" body lift. I just put 33X12.50 BFG MT's on Black Rock crawler rims on it, gee wonder why it was stolen?
It has a black double tube roll bar in the back and no tail gate.
it has no license plates, I just got a temp pass from DMV (good till 31May) to get it smogged.
I am so bummed, my son and I have been working on this for months and were finally looking forward to driving the thing. we bought two wrecked toys and pulled them down to the frame to make one good one. Lots of sweat equity in the rig, not much to look at but we were making progress. I have pictures but haven't figured out how to get them in the post. I will put them on my website and let everyone know the link.
If anyone has information please contact myself or the Manteca PD At 209 239 8401 ext 679

Thanks a lot Joe. I have a ton of pictures of the truck but can't figure out how to attach them to the thread. I will be putting them on my website soon.
check www.handitom.com in a day or so for pics.

I finally got some help from my Dad and we have a link anyone can go to and see a picture of my toyota. So many man hours went into this truck, I sure hope I can recover something. My wife will never let me get another one. All she could say about it was why do the tires have to be so big? isn't that a waste of money??? chicks?
well, here is the link. feel free to spread the word.

the dawgtoy has been recovered. on march 30th I recieved a call from an individual who saw my flyers and picture of my truck and said he saw it abandoned. I checked it out and there it was. much worse for wear but all in one piece. I really appreciate everyone who helped out and kept looking.
