I've got a 1979 toyota pickup standard cab 4x4. Its your basic 35s lockers duals truck with a twist, the twist being that i had way too much money laying around and worked for napa when i built it so every single piece of it is new except for the body. 79 was the first year the toyotas came in 4x4, ive never seen another one.

Location: San Diego California
Price: 8000 OBO

The only bad is it needs the stock carb put back on to smog, luckily i took it off as an assembly so there are only 2 or 3 vacuum lines that need routed, all fees up to date and in my name clear title. I daily drove this thing for 3 years, its solid fun.
May be interested in trades, but not for a car, jeep, rat rod or a dirt bike/quad/side by side. I like samurais tacomas and bikes to name a few.

Only selling this truck because im shipping to basic combat training and i dont wanna bring it with me to my first duty station, rather someone wheel it than let it sit, that being said if it didnt sell it wouldnt be the end of the world. Thanks for reading.

 

Never seen another '79?
Put it in storage...
What branch and where are you going on vacation for basic?
Have fun, I loved it..

 

Not so far, 3 80s a handful of 81s and my friend rocks a 72 thats crazy clean! To be fair the only thing thats still 79 is the cab the passengers side fender/door and the bed and part of the frame.

Army, combat medic. Do beleive im going to fort sill oklahoma, got a pretty sweet enlistment deal with a civilian acquired skills program. Very excited about it can't wait to ship already!

 

I am awaiting settlement for my 83 that was done till a yahoo slammed into it. I am in San diego also. IM me so we can set up a time to take a look.
Nice ride by the way.
