i was driving to work this morning and i saw a toyota pickup in front of me the pre 89 body style. when i passed it it had what looked like a really long extended cab on it about 3 times as long as normal and then a regular bed behind it anyone know what it might be

tc

They were called Custom Cabs or something like that. The retrofit was done by Winnebago and others.

i found a pick that looked kind of like it

lol that looks like crap. A bed cap doesn't belong in the middle of a truck.

Where's that guy on here that owns like three of them. He has a lifted one, a daily one, and a project one. They're all a gen newer than the one above.

i dont think the doors were that big on those years for the Pick-up? it does look small. i'd still take a hilux 4dr over that though

My dad owned one, and you could get these before Toyota offered the 4 door Hiluxes to the US. It was actually pretty cool, had a full backseat, and a regular sized truck bed. He bought it brand new in 1986 and had it until about 1998. I still see it around town periodically. The lifted 4wd versions look pretty cool, IMHO.

i like the idea of having more space behind the seats but i dont like how it goes back so far and up

tampabayota

thats just fugly

Ron Helmuth

from your description I was picturing the "Trekker" which spawned the 4Runner, it had a bench back seat and a truck bed, but only a 2 door like the pickups....but I have been wrong before....

Tacoclimber

Naw, I'm pretty sure he saw the Custom Cab. That description sounds identical to my dad's old truck.

Is this it?

Pretty good info, check it out.

Tacoclimber

That's it. I know most don't like it, but I think it's pretty cool...

if you look at the 2nd picture on the attachment there, its like the back has a sort of almost sunroof thing. looks neat, just wish the top was flush

Tacoclimber

It did. The reason that it's not flush was to allow for more headroom in the back seat area.

As I recall, it made it a little nicer for my sister and I on long road trips. Of course, I only allowed her on approximately 1/3 of the seat... (I was kind of a jerky big brother... )

ohhhh okay i see it now. thats kinda cool. haha, i remember playing in the "way back" of my dads runner when i was like really young, and thinking "wow this has soo much space!"
