1989 pickup with a 22R?
A guy locally is selling an old 1989 2wd pickup that is cheap enough I'm tempted to snag it, take stuff I want/need, and then part it out. Thing is, it has a carbed motor in it - the pics show a clear filter housing and the engine's stamped "22R". Did they even still make carbed 22-series engines in '89? I could have sworn 85 was the last year for the carbed motor.
Is there any demand for old 22R parts? I don't want this hunk sitting in my driveway for longer than a few weeks if at all possible, and I don't want the money tied up in it, either.
Thanks for any advice

yep- my buddys got an 89 with a carb.
85 was the FIRST year for EFI, not the LAST year for CARB; I've been told in commercial models you could get a 22r clear up to 95
Parts are very easy to come by for those. Any parts store should have most anything you need, i'd say go for it.

I sure hope that Rust Bomb is cheap.
makes my truck look beautiful.
Not that it really matters, but i dont think that xtracab had a carb 22r originally.

Actually 84 was the first year that EFI came out in trucks.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 1990 was the last year Toyota put the carbed 22r in the pickup and/or runner, so I'd say it's legit
