Hey you yota guys. A young friend of mine just got an '89. Had a little oopsie and put the sucker in the West Side Main near Super. The front clip is jacked up. Looks like the fenders come off (we will prolly need new ones) but I thought billybob said they're integral? No pix yet...

My brother rolled his 84 yota a few years ago and we just found a cab/front clip assy. at a junk yard in san diego the same color for about $400. Swapping the cab over was a pain just because it was a different year and had to swap the wirring, dash and all the interior. Alot of labor but saved alot of money.

as long as the new core support is bolted to the frame and you cut everything in the same place, it shouldn't be too bad. obviously i'm the kinda guy who would rather remove sheet metal and throw tube at it, but that's just how i roll.
