Vehicle Description
They should have called these the "Indestructible", but instead
Toyota just simply gave these little haulers the humble "pickup"
name. No matter what you call it, you get excited when you can find
a fine example like this 1983 Toyota that's well-presented,
correctly preserved, and has useful features like four-wheel
drive.
You likely already know this truck well. It was the vehicle that
got you through school and/or never gave up on the job site. But
the best part is the condition of this example. The factory-correct
white paint has the clean look of a quality respray within the last
few years. The sheet metal has an amazing fit and finish after four
decades, and so you can really see this is a respected truck. So
while the liner in the bed reminds you this one is ready for rugged
duty, the overall presentation tells you this was someone's baby.
And this one even has a few upgrades that give it more 4x4 attitude
while still keeping the period-correct tone. You see it in the
classic roll bar, rugged tubular steel rear bumper, and the bright
15-inch wheels that show off the lifted stance.
The same exceptional level of presentation/preservation is found on
the inside, too. There are just a few signs of use from over a
generation on the road, but the overall condition is a great
representation of why these earned a tough-as-nails reputation. But
more than just preserved, you'll appreciate how this one was loaded
for its time. That means bucket seats, a center console, and an
AM/FM stereo. There are even provisions for air conditioning (it
will likely need a recharge to blow cold again.) The position of
the factory steering wheel and floor shifter have a bit of a sporty
feeling. Plus, you have all the right gauges laid out in the dash.
So this classic is also ready to drive.
Under the hood is what makes these Toyota pickups so desirable. The
2.4-liter 22R motor is part of the engine family on which Toyota
has built its reputation for reliability. It looks quite honest and
correct in the engine bay, and it runs with the confidence of a
well-maintained powerhouse. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case and
tall 4x4 stance mean this continues a go-anywhere reputation.
Especially since this one also already has some serious off-road
tires. Power steering and power brakes w/discs up front also make
this an easy driver in-town. And no matter where you go, the
five-speed manual transmission w/overdrive is terrific for giving
you total control.
Complete with owner's manual, this has the look of good care and
the solid feeling from behind the wheel to back up this
well-respected life. You already know how great these Toyotas are,
so don't miss your opportunity at such a well-preserved example.
