This is one of the pics I got from the guy selling this truck.

96' Toyota T-100, 160k 4x4 SR5.

Does that look like a j-yard pard on the cover to you guys?

Thanks

Is possible, but usually salavge numbers are numbers and letters in a code sequence identifying date of aquisition and partial vin of vehicle removed from.

it could be anything really, could even be there from assembly when new.

I'd be inclined to say no, just cuz the upper hose still has the OEM clamps still in place, most folks loose those cuz they can be a PITA at times, not have enough spring tension to reseal after opened a few times.
 
Cool, that makes me feel a little better. This one has the least mileage and best dollar ive seen so far.

My 3.4 in the '01 S-Runner had no such writing on it.
 
Looks like bone yard goober writing to me!

None of my many Toy's over the years ever had that stuff on any of the visible parts.

Motor replacement or collision replacement part. My want to closely look for front end damage.
 
^^x2, I'd look real close at that one. Never seen anything like that from the factory.
 
look close....

I'd say take a closer look at those hose clamps, the one at the rad. looks "clean" and the one at the eng. looks rusty(sitting out in the open at the yard?)
 
If it was an engine swap, isn't there a VIN on the engine you could compare to other VINS on the vehicle? I don't know all the places VINS are located but I'm pretty sure most cars have them on the engine, frame, dash, and tranny.
