Did they make a 1985 IFS truck?

well ive been in the market for a toyota for about a month now and i think i finally found the truck im going to buy its an 85' rcsb 5speed just rebuilt with a mild cam 6" susp lift and a 3" body. the truck looks to be pretty clean not a dab of rust or body damage, for $1200 but my question is did they make a late 85' with IFS? nonetheless im buying the truck, ill have pics of it here soon!

Well they made the '86 model year in late '85...They are considered '86 even though they were technically made in '85.

Not surprised, I have a buddy who has a '85 SFA with a 22R-E and a factory winch.

Regardless of what someone tells you, it is always best to look under the cow before assuming it is or is not a heifer.

85, SFA, AC, best rig ever...all the goodies of a new rig, but the toughness of an older one.

I believe it's an '86 that manufactured in late '85 too. It's worth it, nonetheless.
