PICTURES INCLUDED/ Just bought 1986 1ton pickup
HI, I just bought this 1986 1ton pickup for $600 and drove it home. As soon as I got home I through it in the garage and found out that it had Number 3 cylidner bad. Do you guys think this was a good buy? I figure I do the head job and timing job, then I should be able to get it running. And what is the difference between the 1ton and half ton? Are the rears different gear ratios? and are the 1ton truck rare and worth a lot more than a regular 2WD halfton? Thanks.
Im thinking these lights were stock on it?

And I believe the 1 tons came as a 4-gear transmission.
No.
And no offense to your new purchase, but Toyota would not put those monstrosity lights on their truck.
Can you tell what I think about them? haha
Oh and, nice find!

Hopefully someone figures this out because im wondering what makes them a 1 ton, I saw that someone said the valves were bigger in the 1 tons to give them more power, But I do not know about that? Seems a Little far fetch?

The EFI engines naturally produced more HP then the carburetor models without any internal modifications like cams.

Heavy duty rear springs, full floating rear axle… or the FF axle might have just been on the dual rear wheel models. That's about it, AFAIK. The frames were already stout as heck from the get-go, so they just got a little beefier running gear.

The cab roof lights, extended side mirrors, and (clipped?) front bumper indicate, the tow and maybe snow plow packages.
The rebuild is a pretty straight forward task, making sure it is in spec is probably best left to the machine shop.
Yep, good deal. clean paint's worth 600$
I'd suggest you clean and paint that spare tire before it rusts away.
