Today I was fortunate enough to be given a TOYO V Deluxe monorail 5x7. I can't seem to find anything about this model on google. The owner said it had been sitting in his garage for at least 25 years. Is it a common model? What age would it be?
Anyhow, the bellows is 100% toast, where might I find a replacement, I looked on toyoview.com but that wasn't any help. If I can buy the bellows does it come with the flange on either end of the bellows or do I have to attach them myself?

Thanks for any help.

That's a Toyo View Deluxe. Toyo doesn't have any bellows for 5x7 now. You can get replacement bellows from eBay. You will need to glue the bellows to the frames yourself. It is quite easy.
But take a closer look at the back and measure the ground glass. It may be a whole plate back.
