The original post to MTBR.com doesn't appear to be a "for sale" listing,
it just shows off an incredibly clean truck. So I'll move this thread to
the Toyota forum.

I'm pretty sure thats the same truck. Same wheels, color matched bumper, camper looks the same. Very clean truck, not sure how I feel about the huge bumper but would gladly cruise in this thing.

Woops, thanks for the move.

Your pic does look like the same truck. I doubt there are that many 83's out there with that configuration and a Ruenel front bumper.

I'm cringing at the sight of that bike rack up front. Hate to think what a good sized pebble will do to that CF frame.

It is the same truck and it recently sold to a Toyota hound in Colorado.

That bike will not ride up there very often....did a photoshoot with Trek's Top Fuel flagship race bike with the engine bay in the background....
Drove it back from Texas last week like pictured, set the cruise on 70mph...flawless.

I saw that thing on craigslist a while back for about 15,000. I love that style and I'm looking to get one. Maybe transplant a MOPAR 318 or 340 into it, more power and more bomb-proof than a Chevy!

Nice way to add more headroom to the camper! Reminds me
