Hilux's bring in wayyyyy more money then Bruisers do, judging just by the picks I would say that would fetch a minimal 600$ if you decided to resell it. When I was looking to get a hilux I couldnt find one for under 800...finally lucked out when t1 sold me his.

i would't even think twice about picking that up. like mike said, if you decide to sell it, you can make your money back and then some.

I got it ... Ended up paying 300 for it cause it had a busted front hub you can see where its seperated in the second pic. Im gonna post a thread up on its resto soon keep an eye out. If anyone knows where I can get a hub for it let me know... besides the bay of course.

Very lucky wish i could find a deal like that. I wonder how many of these ever made it to like D.I or something that someone got rid of many yrs ago not ever thinking about them being worth alot of money some day and someone found one for next to nothing ?. That would be the ultimate find to find one at a thrift store

Hilux hubs arent easy to come by, you really just have to watch ebay... They seem to be harder to find then Bruiser ones. I had hub problems with the one I got, the body portion had cracks in it. Greasypete had I think a similar problem to yours and I swapped him my only extra hub part for some cool hi-lift jacks.

I see you are missing the hub covers as well, there is a guy on ebay who makes some really cool reproductions ones



Good luck with the build
-Mike
