1981 Toyota Pickup Truck 4WD Original Survivor 128k miles

1981 Toyota Other Description

Up for auction is an amazingly complete and untouched 1981 Toyota Pickup 4wd with 129,000 original miles. Has the legendary 22R motor (Federal model) with the 5spd transmission. All emission equipment is present and fully functional. Pickup starts, uns, rakes, hifts and stops great in all weather! I purchased this vehicle from the second owner (who owned it for 31 years) who bought it in 1984 with 30,000 miles. It spent the majority of its life in Seattle until it was retired in 1997.
It had a steel ladder rack, iberglass canopy w/ fiberglass a bed liner, nd small step hitch bumper. All of the items have since been removed to reveal one of the cleanest beds I have ever come across. It has a few dings in the tailgate area and one on the hood from the mean streets of Seattle. The tailgate opens and closes with one finger ( a first for me!). This truck has never been in any auto accidents and there are zeros signs of body work, ondo, tc. Original paint has been compounded and waxed and it is beautiful (the pictures really capture this well). What little rust (< 1% of the truck) is present came from where rain dripped down from the steel ladder rack / bolts onto the rails and then rested in the corner under the fiberglass bed liner on the passenger side. I think its important to differentiate the type of corrosion as this truck has never seen a salty road. Every inch of this frame is solid with no holes, itting, tc.
In the last 12k miles the differential was serviced, lutch was replaced, our shocks were added, s well as a complete tune up. Muffler and catalytic converter were recently replaced (pipe is now 2 1/4 "), ew heavy duty battery, ransmission fluid was changed and a heavier weight oil was added, acklash was adjusted, nd the tires are new all terrain with 100% tread. Carburetor was tuned, K & N air filter was added, nd the fuel filter was replaced. Engine is completely quiet at idle (can barely hear it inside the cabin), nd it does not smoke and or burn oil! True signs of a well maintained low mileage engine. I have not been able to find any leaks on the truck which is truly amazing.
All the glass is crystal clear and seals are great shape with no leaks. Heater, ans, efrost etc work great. Truck retains almost all of the original splash guards under each wheel well too! All gauges read correctly as well. Has a full size spare but is missing the the jack and lug wrench.
Please feel free to ask any relevant questions. If you plan on having the vehicle shipped please pay by wire transfer. eBay has great shippers at reasonable rates but they move fast and you can miss out on good deals.
Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck winning this iconic classic pickup.
