I would like to see that truck. You should do a video on it

Hard to believe the no rust part. I had an '84 and presently own an '02, so I speak from experience. You must live in a warm, dry climate.

that’s cap

If you make it to a million miles on origional engine and tranny you can bring it to toyotq and sometimes they will give you a brand new one

@@martysoutdooradventures2946 not likely since they don’t make em any more.

Thank you sir

you said everything i was planning to say so, ditto

Wow I have our 1980 sr5 2wd short bed.2000 tacoma ext.cab 2012 corolla s.2012 tacoma 4x4 acess cab 4x4 all msnual trans 4 cyl.vehicles very happy.

Show stopper.

Are you from Rutland or central ma?

@@WerkToday she purdy

My first truck at 16. Yellow Rhd South Africa

Lol fair complaint !

in nor cal we had gobs of 4wd conversions with the dana 44 from jeeps swapped in to the 70's mini trucks running around. toyota finally took notice and started building their own. i wanted one so bad in 1980

Because God does restorations now.

@@adventureescape1929 God works thru all things.Therefore..Thank God.

Pfft

Thank you sir

It's a wild machine for sure!

We have met, Great guy!

Don't forget the bolts

I have one in my museum, also called a garage.

The 80s were the best times to be alive 😎

@@gregsrestorations7019 The problem is that at the time we didn't know it. We did have a good time though. 😁

Thanks!

Yeah no one does anything up here in Massachusetts or doesn't advertise it

@@gregsrestorations7019 and a yota no less. My old man is importing one from NM to replace his 88. Real excited for him. Couldn’t get him to drive anything else even though it’s kind of a death trap rust bucket. Glad he finally found something.

absolute legend of a conservationist

@@MrEnroh Thanks for that! I fixed it.

Thanks man!

Thank you 🤟

Thats awesome. 82 was the first year of the square headlights but you can swap them around. Toyota did whatever they wanted back then lol. Cool story!

@@gregsrestorations7019 Thank you for your reply, I had no idea they sold different versions. Take care

I had an 83 also , Imo this generation of the pickups was definitely the best looking overall, although the 85 gets a lot of attention with its😮 extra cab , power windows, more options ,last yr of the solid axle ,I still prefer this body style, On my 83 I didn't like that I couldn't recline my almost new recaro bucket seats I had to where I was comfortable, so after my cousin egged me on about doing it , I cut the rear wall off my cab and added 6" off of another cab I had, it worked perfectly, people would look at it and say hmm there is something diffrent about it , lol , only if you knew what to look for you'd see that behind the doors I had double vents instead of one, I installed a new set of 6" lift leaf springs that i pulled one leaf out of for a softer ride , 3" body lift, 36" tires, 22r with the rv cam, and 5.13 gears, man I miss that truck, Been looking for another one for years, I've looked at a few but being in New England every one I looked at was rotted to the door handles, I'll have to go out west one of these days and find a clean rust free project,

@@bertbccfu9564 Awesome story of your truck, what a great idea to add onto the cab; here is to hoping you find another. I still remember the 1st time I read on the bill of sale; "reclining seats," pulled the lever and immediately hit the cab wall, had a good laugh. Miss that truck so much. Thanks for sharing.

Also have 86 4Runner - still runs good

We can build you one!

@@gregsrestorations7019 Last thing I need is another toy. My 40 and 62 keep me plenty busy :P Great work though! I love your channel!

Thanks!

The supercharger is the best part!
