Great looking truck!
The sticking odometer is a common problem with older Toyotas. The lubricant on the wheels dries out and becomes sticky like glue. The odometer needs to be taken out, diassebled and cleaned of the old lube and new lube applied. Apparently there are a lot of small parts involved and the old lube is hard to get off. I took my cluster out of my '81 and took it to a speedometer shop to have the odometer cleaned. It works perfectly now.
