Guys I just picked up a 1980 Toyota R20 with 93,000 original and documents miles. The ac still works and I can shift through the 4 speed with one finger, the tranny is smooth. She'll cruise at 75 maybe more but I didn't try and the ac blows cold enough to where I don't put it above low ever. I'm thinking that I should sell it or trade it for a little bit newer Yota truck. I just don't want to work out of it or run the risk of having an accident in it. Everything on this truck is original down to the exhaust and white steel wheels. I absolutely cannot believe the mps's I get on the highway with her. I love the truck but I feel like she belongs with a collector or someone that will restore her. Rather than with me getting beat up. It would be different if she had 200k miles and a spray on bedliner. But I gotta think this is a very rare truck due to the mileage.

 

nice score

 

Thank you, any input, I just don't want to run it into the ground working out of it.

 

yeah that's a tough decision. i don't know if you've seen the thread on my '79... but I decided to use mine as a truck. My mileage is higher than yours, but the cosmetic condition is similar.

how much rust is in the body? the pic is kinda small.

 

I like it, if you decide to sell, shoot me a PM maybe we could work something out?

 

There's a fair amount of rust only in the body and bed. None of which hampers it or has to be fixed. I was thinking it should go to a collector with the money and time to restore it. Everytime I drive it I can tell its the true mileage and I feel kinda guilty. I love yotas and thus the guilt.

 

I restored my 86', do you have any pics of the rust?
