22REC engine from 87 1 ton - exhaust pipe

[zero]

I was pulling the engine today out of a 1987 Toyota 1 ton dually. This thing was very rusty and there was barely any exhaust system left - or frame.

When I tried to pull the engine out - the exhaust pipe got hooked on what's left of the frame and lifted the entire truck cab in the air.

I don't know what Toyota used to make that front pipe - but it is some really tough and rust resistant stuff. Kryptonite? Must be some high grade stainless alloy.

In case anyone ever wanted a good view of their 22REC or 22RE from multiple angles -here's a 1987 from a 1 ton dually. Also one of the most rugged and handy trucks I've ever owned. Japanese yes, but not a Toyota. 1985 Isuzu 4WD 2.2 liter diesel mini-truck with a custom diamond-plate tool-bed.
