inertia switch on 80 please help!!!!

i have an 80 that was smashed hard into a tree and rolled a few times. it will turn over if you put gas in the carb but wont stay running. (not getting fuel) i think it is the inertia switch but i do not know where it is. i have read in a few manuals and online and they have just confused me more any help would be appreciated- thanks

These are old pickups, not motorcycles-there isn't an intertia switch on them. If you smashed hard into tree and rolled in a few time then I imagine that you have more to worry about then a switch. Try the fuel cutoff solenoid first

Fuel shut off solenoid is in the carb. Just follow to wires to the carb and you'll run into it.

Do a search on here about Inertia switches.

No Toyota EVER in the history of Toyotas ever has/had an inertia switch. Ever.
