Help with truck identification ,.. 1982 Toyota fiberglass tail

I believe this to be a trekker,..
1982 Toyota VIN JT4RN38S0C0027946
It has lots of mods, locker, 4:56 gears, marlin crawler tcase kit, 4 link & rear coils,... Found some local history where a guy spent close to 15K doing drive train , suspension, body and other mods

What can you tell me about it?

I figured it was a trekker , my friends told me much about them, I saw it on the way to the shredder and saved it. I think I will get it road safe and try and find a good home for it. I have too many projects to give it the time it deserves.

What were the production numbers on these things?

approximate numbers are estimated to be around 1200.

edit:
look on the lower left side of the dash for a winnebago conversion sticker.

You say that this is an 82 however the sliding rear windows were only used on the '81 Trekker. Either someone put a trekker back half on your truck or they swapped the windows

According to my research....

DLX (Deluxe) Has a 4speed Fixed side windows. Non tilting passenger seat.



SR5 5speed. Factory AC. Tilt. Gauges. Tilting passenger seat. Power steering.


Sunroofs optional.

This is info from a road test by Trukin Magazine. I have a copy now with the Trekker intro.
