I purchased this Toyota mini-truck new in 1980 at the Palo Alto, CA dealership. Has 213,716 actual miles. Engine/transmission rebuilt August 1999 at 206,941 - 6,775 miles on the rebuild - a real "part-time" driver for the last 8 years or so. New in 80, this was a basic, stripped-down 4-speed 4x4 which only came with an FM radio (long gone now) and an optional rear bumper. All glass is original. I still have the original rear bumper plus an after-market Smitty-built. The original Dunlop SnowCruiser spare is still mounted on the original spare rim. The steel rims are all original and in good shape. I’ve put lots of time and new Toyota OEM parts into the truck over the last few years.

My son drove it for a while and when he tired of it and moved on, I rebuilt the engine/transmission and turned it into my hobby/backup vehicle. Driven about 6,775 miles in the last 8 years, and never really 4-wheeled (ever). Only off-road has been picking up a Christmas tree every year with the kids. I just bought a new (1978) FJ40, which now takes up most of my free hobby time so I’m thinking of selling the pickup. Runs well and stops – bit of a howl from the original rear diff over 70 on the freeway. Any opinions on what dollar amount I should try to get for this would be appreciated. If it’s not worth anything I may just keep it to haul cruiser parts around.

See more detail and photos at the link below - I'll be putting up more detailed photos that show the good as well as the bad as soon as I get them together.
