Texas is weird, East Texas trucks = RUST, but West Texas = SoCal/Arizona sheet metal. Here in Central Tex, it's 50/50. I guess mines about average condition for the area.

Basically it is a trim package, there were "A" "B" & "C" Highlander options. Usually they consist of A/C, ps, automatic, tinted windows, chrome, etc. The main difference is they had a special plaid seat covers. They weren't OVERLY rare or anything, just kinda a nice bonus for me to find after I bought the thing. If the search function was working, you could find info on it pretty easy.

The full length truck part includes the lower 'A' pillar holes and a fair amount of floor area too, it'll give you more option's to work with.

Here's a decent thread to look over, it addresses where your heading...

They are out there if you look, not sure if you can still buy them new or not; mine were put on back in the 70's according to the PO. They annoy me cause they are made from magnesium and need those special lugnuts, but they have kinda grown on me because of the "nostalgia" I guess.

I don't THINK I need to do that, I have some floor jacks to put under things if I need to, but my torsion boxes appear to be in great shape (no rot what-so-ever, just surface rust), somehow, so I feel that everything will stay in place. Somebody tell me if I have lost my mind.
