just bought my first toyota truck!! :)
1984 ext cab just picked it up a week ago and im putting a little work into it. it needed some when i bought it. guy was at 2400 i got it for 1500 after about a week of hassling. though it smokes someone told me it was because of it was running to rich and breaking down the oil? help? doesnt smoke to badly though. had some fosgate amps and mids/highs in storage room so i slapped thsoe in and putting a 12 sub in it too 
i pretty much bought it for my first driver im restoring a 1972 gmc k20 so. got to have somethign to tool around and daily drive to school and such

With a photobucket.com account you can just copy and paste the [IMG] code into your post and than we get instant gratification with the pic of your truck with out the extra work
Have fun with your truck, looks like one I recently saw on the portland craigslist...good find

nice truck, I have never seen a xtra cab with bench seat. you need to fix that rust on the bed on passenger side, that metal so thin rust will cancer the bed real quick. You need a rear bumper before some idiot takes out the tailgate. but its a nice truck, you got a good deal

oh. I didnt mean adjust them to make it stop smoking. I meant adjust them because they are loud as hell.
Or it could be the timing chain chewing into the timing cover...then the smoke could be from coolant getting into the pistons some how
Either way, take off the valve cover. inspect the timing chain and do a valve job.
Is the oil milkshake looking? coolant brown/blackish?
