What truck is this?

[PowerPee]

Greetings! My best friend recently found an old truck while rummaging through his home and gave it to me. Unfortunately it does not have the box or manual anymore so I am not sure what kind of truck this is. I recently (as in 2 weeks ago) went back to the hobby and already one truck. I have a series of questions that maybe you guys can help me out.

1.) I am guessing this is the original Blackfoot?

2.) If so, are there still parts or hop up options available for this truck?

3.) Will the Novak unit be still usable at this day and age?

Here are some pictures that I took...

Thanks in advance for the replies =D

Thats really good of your mate to give that to you, buy him a pint. I'm no expert on these trucks but no doubt someone who is will post shortly.

And here I thought those Toyota stickers were there because he likes the brand... =D

Thank you for the help.... I saw the link you gave and this truck was released 1990? Wow hehe...

Would you happen to know if they still parts for it? I plan to restore it and hope to be able to use it again =D

Congratulations with the car.

As for spare parts, ebay is your friend. And there's always people on this site who has the parts you need.

Wow what a mate u have!

Nice car, you have just to pay attention to the ball diff (weak point of the car) and you have a fantastic runner.

Bye

Wow thanks for the tip =D

I am a bit excited to restore this car... hope it cost me that much. Everything else is in mint condition (except for the tires) =D
