Two trucks-One decision

i honestly dont care what you call it, just having fun.

Nice truck! Create a build thread if u plan to do some work!

 

...where do put the build thread?

 

My first ride was a truck just like that that my dad bought new in 1980. Man I'd love to own one again.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Hilux#Third_generation_.28N30.2C_N40.3B_1978.E2.80.931983.29

I guess 3rd gen Hilux/American Pickup.

Any way you slice it, awesome find.

 

Just my own experience - I've had both an 80 and 82.

IWBO - I forgot that this gen body style continued through the 1983 model year. 84 and later had a different body style. So maybe 82 & 83 had the rectangular headlights - though the 4x4wire timeline states 81 saw the introduction of the rectangular headlights

 

I owned an '80 and I recall '81's did have round headlights, unless it was a mid year facelift?

 

Yup I got one, at 505,000 miles and been supercharged the whole way with 3.4,
Has a ton of power and a blast to drive, must faster than the new pro tacoma because its light only 3100 pounds and powerful, 300 hp and 5 speed but gas mileage is no better than an extended cab,

 

You definitely seem proud of your truck. You never miss a chance to state its miles and stuff along with those pics ahaha

 

Just got my 4ruuner hood scoop, Next project is cutting the 4Runner hood to my Tacoma hood,

 

Alright.

 

Hood scoop Project started,

 

I'm so confused. I'm unsubscribing from this thread. Thanks for all the help when I was trying to figure out what truck to get.

For reference and reminded I went with this:




Good luck with your hood scoop.

Later guys and gals.

Cheers!

 

Nice truck and congratulations!!!!
