Need another engine on the cheap!

Truck is a 1983 Toyota 4x4 w/the 22R....I found a engine locally (junk yard) but the owner thinks it came out of a 79-81 pick up...Will this be a direct bolt in? Sorry for my dumness this is my first toyota.

79-80 pickups do not have a 22r engine. 22rs didn't hit till 81.

yes 79 and 80 had the 20r. I would not recommend getting a 20r unless you had access to just the head.

If it is a '81 22R (no powersteering) will it work on my '83 w/powersteerting? I am waiting on a call back to confirm exactally what year the engine is.

should be a direct bolt in as long as the head has the provisions for the power steering system. I don't know about the sensors/vsv's and such, but changing over your old sensors etc etc should be ok.
