1983 Toyota Other Dlx Additional Info:
You are looking at an extremely clean rust free unmodified first generation Toyota 4wd pickup truck. The body has never had an rust through anywhere, and the body and chassis have never had anything more then surface rust only anywhere. Even the body seam on the bed side where rust starts first is rust free still, it's a California dry climate rig, and it really shows. When I had this one owner truck repainted and new stripes installed, very little body work was required, there were no big dents to repair, only a few small dings here and there. The body was remarkably straight, and never had any body panels replaced on it. The truck is ultra clean in, and out and never had any suspension modifications.
Inside, the interior is very beautiful and original. Carpet, seats, door panels, and even dash front, and top are very nice. The interior is not restored, it's original. The only thing not original in the interior is the JVC tape deck dual knob stereo in place of original radio. It was installed very nicely as you can tell. It sounds, and operates nicely. The interior is also optioned out very nicely. The truck is a Dlx, not an SR5, yet it has power steering, power disc brakes, tilt steering wheel, working factory air conditioning still retaining the R12 refrigerant, Quartz Toyota digital clock, and split bench seat with center cubby. It's a very nicely optioned truck with the SR5 hockey stripes, and has some options like the tilt and a/c that some of the SR5 trucks did not even come with. Those options are not on a huge percentage of these trucks, and they all work great on this rig. The truck still retains its original blue California license plates as well. As seen in the pics, this truck also comes with the white SR5 wheels, a very nice touch to the exterior of any first gen toyota 4x4 and the discerning buyer looking for the right truck, with the right look and options.
You really will be hard pressed to find such a clean rust free example of a dlx toyota 4x4 with long bed (7') in such pristine condition with low miles. It's a great color combo with the charcoal gray exterior, gray/black interior, and gray/silver stripes. The truck is eye popping, and gets huge interest when I drive around town in it. People just don't expect to see such a remarkably clean, and beautiful truck of this era. Most of these old long beds were used for work, and beat to hell. This truck wasn't used in that fashion, it was bought for light use, occasional commute, special trips cross country, and garaged always. The bed also has a LineX brand spray in bed liner in place, it was $500 installed, just done about a month ago. The bed was in great shape when installed, and that's how I wanted it to stay, so I felt the truck really deserved to have the extra money put into it to preserve it the way it is, even if it does get use. LineX is one of the best spray in liners, very durable, and strong. The home kits that are sprayed in really don't hold up well at all, I've tried them in the past, and they just aren't worth it under any uncertain terms. LineX is the way to go, very worth the $$$.
Mechanically the truck is perfect, drives great, stops and starts as it should. There are no weird ticks, or drivability issues. The truck doesn't leak anything, and it doesn't use fluids. I'd drive this truck absolutely anywhere without worry, it's extremely reliable, and has never left me stranded. The 22R engine is the gold standard in Toyota trucks, and this one is backed by a noise free 5 speed manual transmission, not a 4 speed. The truck has new brakes up front, and rears are 60%. Tires are 90% tread, uniroyal liberator all terrain, and are C load 6 ply tires, a little heavy dutier then the usual, very good shape, not aged or cracked. It's a turn key truck, buy and drive without a need to do anything to it at all. Doors open and close like they should, crisply, like new. Windows all go up, and down nicely, slider locks as well. The truck doesn't have any big air leaks or loud noises going down the road at speed, wing windows close, and lock tightly. No water intrusion leaks when rained on or washed, seals on doors and glass look good, and are not cracked. dash does have one small crack on it on leading edge closest to windshield on hump edge, not all that noticeable, but I felt it worth mentioning for disclosure purposes. No rips in seat, door panels, or headliner. Carpet is excellent, and has one small repair where heel goes at gas pedal, I had it professionally done, original floor mats as seen in bed when I took photos are still with the truck, and look great still. Some of the carpet on the original mats have fallen off, but could easily be gotten, and reinstalled. Original floor mats are few and far between, having those is pretty neat really.
