Toyota never made camper shells or shag carpet. Everything in the bed was added on but a nice color match.
Interior is pretty nice. Find an oem radio and uncut dash bezel and it's pretty much back to factory.
Floor mats are not from Toyota but are period correct aftermarket.
Also that random blue wire hanging out of the fuse panel was added by a previous owner. Probably for the stereo.

Ugh! (They’re all worth the work)
Start with the wipers to build some momentum. 😃

I just inherited my grandfather's '80 longbed SR5. He took great care of it other than putting a lot of dings in the bed but for the last fifteen or so years it's been badly neglected by my father. I spent a lot of time in it with my grandad so restoring it is quite important to me. As someone who's never done anything harder than replacing spark plugs and cleaning a throttle plate I'm sure there are major engine problems I'm not even noticing. Still drives fine except the steering is loose, so tightening that up is my first priority.




I don't even know how this thing is still running.

Keep those fender flares, those are next to impossible to get.

Ok. So this truck is in running condition, but how much should it cost to restore the exterior? I was quoted a price...but I'm trying to see if it's too much or not. I asked to replace the hood, left and right fender, grille, dash, and both doors. Prime and paint the truck as well. I can prob install the seats myself. There are holes in the floorboard. I can prob do it myself, but really don't have the time or space. (please don't ask the price I was quoted, I'm trying to get an idea of how much it should be)

Hi peoples, I thought I would post some pictures of my first Toyota Pickup. I bought it new in 1983.

Brand new in 1983
