OK then...
Just took these pics
And no, the white 1980 Hilux isn't for sale. If I told how how cool and awesome it is you'd be sad so I'll protect you from that. Except to say it's a 1980 with a early tailgate, 20R with a Weber 38, 4-speed, power steering, A/C, vent window doors, intact door panels, etc...
OK the black truck
1982 Hilux 4x4. 22R, 5-speed, all stock, runs great.
Has a few issues to be expected from a almost 40 year old truck.
Door panels are nonexistent or terrible.
Dash pad is bad.
Seats need some love, but really it's just the drivers' seat. Swap the seat brackets, making the passenger seat the drivers' and vise-versa and no one would notice really.
Manual steering box is leaking (which just started).
There's some rust in the bed.
Headlights are kinda dim and the high-beam switch doesn't work (This is an easy fix, needs a new column switch).
Aftermarket ignition switch is missing the "key in" feature so if the key is out... it buzzes. My 4Runner has the exact same "feature".
Not sure if the factory A/C works or not.
3 different brands of 33-12.50x15 mud-terrains (one is brand new) and mismatched wheels, some with terribly-applied bedliner on white spokes.
It has the original factory radio. Don't know if it works. The dash isn't hacked up.
EVERY vacuum hose under the hood was replaced.
Lots of other new OEM rubber bits and thingies have been replaced with OEM: Temp sender, VSV, carb gasket for the air cleaner, etc.
All main coolant hoses replaced. OEM parts are no longer available sadly.
All 4 marker lights and buckets and bulbs are new.
The clear lenses outboard of the grille are new.
The PO had removed and filled in the holes for the "TOYOTA 4WD" badges on the fenders. At considerable expense, I sourced a replacement set and reinstalled them in the newly opened holes.
The instrument cluster has been replaced with a different one. The speedo/odo was seized for who knows how long, but it works now, as do all the gauges. The gauges in the little extra cluster on the floor (AMPS and OIL PRESSURE) work as well. All the bulbs in the cluster are new.
Fuel tank (aftermarket), fuel hoses (not OEM as they are also NLA and they are of a weird size only seen in Japan) so replaced with as close to original size. Hardlines are NOT new but are fine. New OEM mechanical fuel pump. New fuel tank sending unit (aftermarket).
New battery cables.
The battery was replaced not too long before I bought it (I've had it since Easter Sunday).
Old school bed mounted roll bar.
Originally the truck was tan/beige and was 2-stage painted black. Of course the clear coat is peeling.
Mechanically the truck is sound. Clutch works well, pedal engagement is high but I've left it for now. Brakes, steering, 4x4, shifting, all work fine. The muffler is kinda loud in that "Hey it's a 4-cylinder" kinda way.
Things that bug me that I may leave for the new owner:
That stinkbug look. The PO had just installed a new 4" Rough Country suspension and the rear is WAY too high. Removing an intermediate spring would fix this.
There's a dent in the roof. I don't know why. The headliner is really nice though, so I've ignored it.
That buzzer thing. I've learned to live with it on my 4Runner.
