80's Toyota Pickup

Id still buy it

 

Not for 2800... I would be asking for lower with what I see to make that a reliable long term vehicle.

 

Yea they go crazy with the salt in my town

 

Its hard to find an 80’s anymore. Theres a guy that drives one around where I live and he has a huge bumper sticker on it that says “I LOVE COOTER” its bad ass

 

Makes sense in a lot of places. Just gotta know the effects and how to treat

 

For reference I saw one here just like that in similar condition and he want 3k for it, but there was very little rust. Cali truck. I will see if I can find my old post about it.

 

If you are not gonna commit to a 100% rebuild, then I would steer clear. It's too important to just buy as a beater truck and half way get it drivable. If you buy it, frame off restore it, and don't skip corners...I could see it selling for around $25k. We are talking restored to show room condition. Lots of guys buy them with the best of intentions.....then cut corners with bondo, spray paint on frame, and mako paint jobs. They end up being worth less money after they botch it all up. Do it the right way, and it will be a gem. I am looking at a 1984 single cab 8 ft bed diesel 4x4 for $12k as we speak. Needs the frame sand blasted and powdercoated.

 

Dam it. I cant find my post. I will have to remember what I said In it to find it.

Edit... found it

 

@ALT-F4 ^^^^

 

That's nicee how much for that one?

 

I believe he was asking 3000 for it. I have picture of the sale tag and interior somewhere, I dont think it's for sale anymore as I saw this over a year ago. Radio was ripped out, seats were torn.... similar to what you are looking at though and in California, possibly the biggest over priced market besides Hawaii

 

Wow, it looks good though. Something I would like it to look like. If I dont buy the 4runner I might just buy the pickup and see if I can restore it. If the guy sells it for a reasonable price

 

That's a buy allllllll day long. Just for the rust free long bed

 

Yup, I dont have the space to take on a project though.

 

This one is being sold at auction this weekend.

Thats a nice one too. Probably will be outbidded though

 

There is this one here also... it's a little more money, but clean. I think he still has it and has been flirting getting rid of it.

 

too bad its swapped....

 

I like those older style toyotas like that one. But I can't make the trip to California

 

Understood.
