Old school Toyotas...Who's got em?

Is that Inferno orange I see? I'm kinda partial to orange.

 

It was originally red with white graphics on the side, and the doors are not original. He took vent-window doors from a wrecked black 1994 extra cab and put them on, then painted it all orange.

 

That is a gorgeous truck, @ThePattonTank1989. It reminds me of my high-school years in the early 1990s. Back then every truck had the tires mounted white letters out on polished aluminum wheels. To this day, only regular cab Toyota pickups look right to me. Vent windows, AKA wing windows, also appeared on regular cabs if they had the DLX option package. I used to have a 1993 pickup that had them.

 

$600? What the hell was wrong with it, and/or what the hell was it missing? I have about $600 just in my stereo!

 

I totally forgot about this gem! I spotted it at a small cruise/gathering in the parking lot of Montgomery Mall back in 2011. I forget what year it is (1981-1983), and believe it or not this was some sort of demo vehicle built by Toyota with off-the-shelf factory parts. It has factory A/C (still R-12 and fully operational at the time of the pictures) and that 4-cylinder produces about 300HP!

 

The Tacoma has 475k miles and had 2 rusted areas on the frame. A TW vendor & friend Joe at Mobtown offroad cut out the rusted areas and welded in new metal for me. The truck runs & drives great.

 

A/C work and everything?

 

this thread is awesome...

 

Just found this thread and i'm in love !!

 

I know me too... I just want to go sit in my truck and show it it's proud and illustrious history.

 

I think I'm gonna sit here at work and read this entire thread to make the day go by!!

 

Nice ride and I really dig that hood.

 

What sucks is it's not mine, and at the time my not even 2-year old Tacoma was totally stock and quite boring by comparison, so I had a serious case of truck envy when I left the show!

 

Only thing that doesn't work is the passenger door power window unless the drivers door is open. So it must be a damaged wire in the dr door harness. Other than that even with 475k it performs great. All it needed to pass maryland state inspection is a new windshield due to a crack. It was a 1 owner PA truck before I bought it from a fellow TW member.

 

I love this truck

 

This one's for sale near Waco but I think it's a bit overpriced. I can't remember what this camper was called...daycab? No. Something like that though.

Name of the technician that installed/QC'ed my engine. Found on the back of the engine block. Had my Japanese fluent friend translate.

 

Again, not mine, but still pretty sweet. It's a fully loaded low-mileage 1992 SR5 extra-cab 4x4. The picture was taken in July 2013 by the same ex-girlfriend who farted in my Tacoma on the first date, and turned it (My Tacoma, NOT this museum-worthy specimen) into a mobile Dutch oven for two!

 

Spotted parked in front of the Gap store on Main Street in Doylestown way back in July 2011. My friend took the picture from across the street...

 

That is a sweet LC. But don't lean on another man's truck.
