1982 Toyota LWB Pickup
For Sale - $6250 Firm.
Location: Houston, Texas
To be up front, I picked up this pickup in the last month or so from a seller a few hours away after not having a Toyota for 5 years (75 FJ40).
Very spur of the moment decision and we've decided to go with a land cruiser (70 series) instead to get an enclosed cab, back seat and AC for the dog and a future kid.
Story i got from the seller is she bought it for her ex 5 or so years back, he built it up doing a frame off, but from what i can tell he lost interest after the drive train & frame was completed. It sat in at a shop for a couple years, he couldn't pay the fees so she got it back, spent $2500 to get it going and then was selling it to recoup some of what he owed her.
Truck i would say is 97% rust free.
The only spots i've noticed is a couple spots on the driver side bed in a few spots.
Very minimal compared to what you see on majority of these.
PO said no rust on the cab, i haven't found any yet over my glances around the truck.
I've put about 75 miles on the truck so far around town, drives great, can drive with 1 finger on the steering wheel.
Mechanically everything seems great. Not the fastest thing on the road, but if that's your expectation this is not for you.
Engine seems strong, no smoke or anything funny there. 4WD linkage all shifts smooth, clutch works as it should, and transmission shifts smoothly. Locking hubs turn like butter.
The PO spent a lot of money in parts as you will see below that adds up quick.
Front end:
4.88s
Grizzly Lockers
IFS steering
High steer
Six shooter knuckles and arms
Trunion elimination kit
Weld on armor and truss kits.
Trail gear shock hoops
Engine compartment:
Motor is fresh - Engine seems very strong, no smoke
New aluminum radiator from low range offroad
New header (I was told LC Engineering)
87 5 speed manual
Dual T-case (I believe Trail Gear kit with 4.70s in the rear case)
Exhaust/muffler drops right at the cab/bed.
Rear end:
IFS rear end
4.88 Gears
Chromoly Axles
Grizzly Locker
Disc brake conversion
Cab:
Per PO, All rust fixed.
Corbeau Seats
New rubber floor mat
Dyna Mat in doors and floor pans
Electric - Needs some attention, speedo and tach work but a day or so cleaning up wiring is not a bad idea.
Interior as a whole needs some attention, this and electrical is my only gripe about the truck.
Very good base with the drive train, and as-is will make an excellent toy for some wheeling up at Barnwell Mountain or Hidden Falls.
Exterior:
Re-painted when disassembled - Paint is by no means perfect. Clear coat on the hood is gone and paint is worn thru, rest of the truck seems in good shape, but some spots where the clear coat does have issues. I would say this is a 10ft truck as far as paint goes.
Bed bobbed, only a few minor rust spots showing under the paint that i could find. Bob seems to be done fairly well as far as cosmetics go. Tail gate requires some effort to open, i'm guessing from slight warping during welding.
Does not have mirrors, truck had the tow mirrors, holes are in the door and ready for a set to be installed.
Trail Gear front bumper
Marlin Crawler Sliders
35" Goodyear Kevlar MT on 15" MT Classic locks - Tires and wheels look near brand new with tread.
Smittybilt winch can come with it, i believe i have new synthetic rope for it. Not sure if it functions, wiring is not hooked up currently but comes with the truck.
Tube Doors
Also comes with original block and head and couple minor spares but nothing of significance.
I do my best to be upfront and scare you off before you show up disappointed and i've wasted both your time and mine.
Truck as a whole seems very solid and will make an excellent wheeler as is, just needs a little love to get the last bits of it as solid as the rest.
If you need more pictures, have questions, let me know.
