You can tell it’s gonna run just by the way it says Toyota on it.

If the odometer is true, you’re sitting on a gold mine if you restore it. Awesome find.

I just want you to know you have a little gem there. Those 79-83 Toyota 4x4’s are pretty rare these days. I also have an 83. Dang good trucks brother, great find!!!

Absolutely one of the best 4x4 pick up trucks ever made. I had a 1981 that I drove all over the state of Alaska. Never anything more than oil changed and minor tune up. Definitely worth a full restoration.
