Looking at a 1992 Toyota pickup, any thoughts?

My buddy is offering me an incredible deal on his 1992 Toyota Pickup sr5 4x4. It has a swapped 3.4l V6 from a '98 Tacoma, as well as the same trucks transmission. The engine only has 130XXX miles on it! I'm pretty excited to go look at it! What do you guys think?

 

I don't have much advice to offer, but ill tell you I own that exact one minus the engine swap and its and absolute beast. Only down side is its on the east coast of Canada and the body and exhaust have took a beating. But that truck is tougher than chewed whale shit!

 

man that is good to hear. I want to buy it really badly. I'm looking at having the truck for the long haul, you know? It's also optioned out as well which is great!

 

hah not much to go on, other than you said its an incredible deal, so what advice are you looking for?

 

& what about some pics?!

 

Oh snap beat me by a millisecond ^^

 

Salt country? Inspect the frame well. As in beat it with a hammer and probe it with a pry bar. If you have a boroscope inspect the inside of the frame too.

 

sorry for the delay in pictures guys! Here she is, rust free!

 

I finished being a noob and uploaded some pictures. Sorry for the wait boys lol

 

Looks clean!!!

 

That's a damn clean truck especially for its age. Nice find

 

yea dude, the truck has 260 on it, but the engine and tranny have 130. He is a mechanic and a good one. Family friend hooking me up. I just wanted to discuss it with you all here. I never even considered buying a pre-tacoma but man 5500 dollars is a good deal for this sexy beast.

 

Thanks dude! Just some guys from the forum and a friend to thank!

 

Wow, I'd say get it, trusted people, good price, get it before someone else does!

 

I would find out what type of beer he drinks and get him a few cases... he must be single with no kids... that thing is spotless.

 

It gets better, he is upgrading because he has a kid. He HAS A YOUNG KID and it looks like this. God I'm gonna pass out I'm so happy

 

Yeah, you take that deal all day long. Nice find!

 

I'm not trying to burst your bubble but imo it's expensive at $5500. You could buy a Tacoma for that price and have the newer body style and the original engine/tranny. On the other hand, it is in pretty good shape for its age. Check the frame though.
