'84 Xtra cab with Flippac (1 Viewer)

[Riverrunner]

It all started when I found a used Flippac for a ridiculous price local in Colorado. It didn't fit my Dodge so I went searching for the best thing I could think of without breaking the bank! Its an '84 Extra cab SR5 short bed with 250k. I think the bed may be from a previous year since the lines don't match up great. Flippac fits perfect and truck handled the weight like a dream. Girlfriend hates it so you know its a good purchase. Unfortunately, I don't have any info on the Flippac since the guy I got it from bought it at a DEA auction here in Colorado for $50. Couple blemishes, but I couldn't beat the price. Excited to make it my own!

Bed looks to be off of a first gen or two wheel drive

1st Gen I think. 2wd of this era would have the wider tail lights and the "TOYOTA" on the tailgate would not be raised letters. Just from what I think I remember. Either way, looks like a decent solid body!

What's the difference between 79-80 and 81-83?

OP, nice score on the flip pac and the CO truck.
Lots of folks would kill for a clean first gen bed.
Let me know if you ever find a solid 2nd gen bed and want to get rid of the one you have.

How's the truck run?

Afaik the early beds use double latch gate. (My favorite) Later is "one touch" gate. (Typical center handle)

Thanks, man. I'll let you know if I decide to switch back to the original bed, but I do really like the latches and tie downs on this one. Truck runs great! I have maintenance history going all the way back to the purchase date. Even have the original service book from Stevinson Toyota. Truck is currently at the shop getting baselined and the e-brake fixed. Should be out on the road in the next week or so.
