Those a100 pick ups seem to be making a comeback at least around here. I have seen 3 locally this year.

those trucks are cool , good luck finding parts
have a hard enough time with the swepts
nice thing is the glass is flat so custom cut should be cheap enough
happy hunting ,would think if you measure the pleats in the floor its the same as some other floor

started blasting the bed . guess what . worse than i thought it was . sure going to need some patching . how the end result is depends on what i can find . im hoping patches can be made from a van floor havnt found one of them to compare though . all getting hard to find out here . and what i have found are owned by crazy people that think they have a gold mine . hurry up and waite . im sure one will come along . im really wanting a complete parts donor . cali has done all they can to encourage people to crush them . but gotta be a few still out there .
