linda s Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 That's a Chinook Newport and that is an very high price for one. I guess your paying extra for the coffee setup. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 I agree Linda. I'm sure they're trying to sell as a business. I love the fact that it's still running with that kind of mileage. The 20R is a pretty durable engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I remember a few years ago that there was for sale on CL in Arizona(?) an older Dolphin that had been gutted and converted as a mobile dog grooming business, complete with a full sized bath tub.

MontanaChinook Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Chinooks have those nice giant side windows; perfect for serving stuff to people on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hilux site I used to belong to stated the late 90's Crown Vic wheels will fit the older toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Forget any wheels from a vehicle with front wheel drive. The offset is likely to be wrong. http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-rods-rat-rods/Wheel-Bolt-Pattern-Cross-Reference-Database.asp?Makes=TOYOTA&Models=PICKUP+2WD#Matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yes, I know they are. I meant many of the other cars that ca be found with the same BCD/PCD on the site I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
