that is amazing....
i wish i didnt live in the rust capitol of the world.

 

Missing the dome light cover, has a small tear in the bench seat cloth and a 1/2" crack on the dash from the sun. Everything else is in good shape.

 

every 1st gen pickup i have seen/owned has had either terible cracks or the speaker cover is broke...does anyone make a replacement or even an aftermarket dash pad for these trucks!? i have seen covers but no replacements

 

When I was looking at replacing my dash pad, I was able to find a guy that would sell me one for $500. Now it was really nice, but f that. I ended up with a coverlay and love it. Pics of it are on my build post if you want to see it. That whole speaker in the dash idea blows.
Loving the truck pics.

 

This is my old beast. Its an 82 4x4. Rebuilt 22R with header, electric fan, custom 2'' exhaust. Stock height with 235s on it. Even with those stock tires it out did a lifted jeep tonight. Went through the mud like nothing. And as you can see I built a box and bumpers and rock sliders for the best. Also its got Acura seats in it and a custom console.

I'll get a better shot of it tomorrow with a little coating of mud on the beast. I took a pic of it and that LandCruiser thats for sale to give people a size perspective for the Cruiser.

Here is my old one, sold it to a buddy, who has been upgrading every thing i couldnt







And when i brought it home...I loved the color but there was too much rust so i got it all purrty

 

What type of arm rest/ console do you have between the seats? I am looking for one

 

x2 I need to change mine out also

 

Those are taco seats with a............... $2 special at the swapmeet, i believe it was a bestop, fit perfectly.

 

I'll bet i'm the first to have these on my truck

 

I've got an 82 pickup that is quite custom.
Rebuilt 22R and tranny.
Thorley Header and 2 inch stainless exhaust.
Homemade everything else.

 

i love that center console!

 

FENDERS? JK

 

Them those fancy fenders from Canada.

 

yep ..

far as I know , ONLY ones out there ! and I have the first set

 

Too bad they aren't for an early 1st gen, I'd buy a set.

 

early first gens ? ehhhh! ..they fit 79-83's ..ALL OF EM!

got a rear box flare to match comming as well ...

 

Seen some great trucks on this thread. Awesome to see the 1st gens OEM restored.
Mine is a 1981 SR5 longbed (bobed now). Specs are in my sig. I love this truck to death, wouldn't trade it for any thing, it talks to me and tells me happy things. This was my first vehicle and still a daily driver/hardcore wheeler.



Had an interesting paint scheme for a while, lots of funny looks.



One of our crazier moments toether.



A recent heart transplant.



Doing what it does best.


Viva la old Yotas

 

I love seeing a "stock looking" 1st gen. that is still a capable wheeler. Just goes to show what level Toyota was at when they built it. I sure wish they still had the simplicty of the 1st gens.
