They could have added a C10 Custom Camper badge with the swaybar and the right tires.
Im not sure if the engine is 100% original, it was rebuilt at Tacoma Auto Machine and has the tag on the front of the block. Yeah I thought it was pretty cool that it stayed local all these years! I agree on the custom camper... my thought s exactly, or why not upgrade to a c20?
