Mixed feelings! Green Truck is absolutely beautiful paint and body and would like to build it! Would be sweet as a 4x4, Orange and white nice options and original and I have had owned an identical truck in past.

So trying to decide if i should still build green 69' and try and keep both or sell that project for someone else to build or leave a 2wd.

Its hard to find one of these trucks let alone two, any opinions? Also have a mint Highlander that will now be someone elses pride and joy.
Nice find. I don't know, seems you know what you're doing so restoring another isn't so bad. But by you asking I'd say sit on it a while, because it seems you're leaning get rid of it. If you were to keep it, good points I can't say less you have what you were looking for and the other is the 2WD SWB you otherwise wouldn't have.

Dang that Highlander is nice.
