1988 Toyota Pickup

[alec]

After selling my 97 4runner which some of you may have seen.


I picked this thing up for cheap from the Original owner. Came with the original window sticker and some other cool shit.
22r / 4 speed manual with 130,000 miles on it.


It’s doesn’t need much luckily but I will be Doin some little stuff like valve cover gaskets and a tune up
Parts I’m sitting on
Fabricated 4” lift spindles
Add a leafs
Stocker bilsteins
31” Tires
And abunch of misc stuff that needed to be replaced.
This will be more along the lines of restoration rather than a build.

Should be a gutless turd, stay tuned!

Those 4 speeds are cool, they have the “1 ton” package which means they should have an 8” 30spl Diff instead of a 7.5” 27spl.

Should be super tall rear gears too like a 3.08 or 3.43

We have one as a shop truck here and thing does like 30 in 2nd gear

I wish you could order a new non base packaged truck with vinyl floors.

My old shortbox with leather seats / vinyl floors was the best for keeping clean.

I’ve had a lot of trucks, this one’s my favorite I think. Something about it

 

[alec]

truck got a lot more than I anticipated, pretty much a full front end rebuild Along with a new windshield.

Scored some fenders and a tool box off of marketplace. Been battling some overheating issues so I threw a new radiator and 2 stage t stat and it seemed to fix the problem. She’s just right at running temp now

It’s a shame that kids today can’t easily or affordably get their hands on a simple 10-year-old truck to build like this. What you’ve got here is a rare, clean Toyota—harder than ever to find at a decent price. Now I feel old… but seriously, it looks great!

I agree, everything’s almost unachievable nowadays, thank you
