1983 Toyota Tacoma Tacoma, Other, Pickup, 4x4, Additional Info:
Mechanically restored 2 years ago. I drive this truck almost every day very reliable. Purchased from the original owner who parked it right beside his barn and that's were it sat for 15 years . And yes it has had only been washed 3 times since parked As you can see the paint is almost gone the bed has bad rust and should be replaced . Frame has surface rust as it has never been undercoated but it is solid
This truck runs amazing and is a lot of fun. The looks people give you driving it around are priceless .

As for rust the bed is bad and I mean really bad tailgate literally rusted in half and fell off. The frame has surface rust but solid with no cracks and no welds or repairs the cab is in great shape with a few small patches on the floor all in all the truck looks like hell on wheels but runs and drives amazing . Perfect rat rod or hunting truck. As for reliability Its been great I have done a 250 mile round trip with no issues. When I found the truck it had 68,000 miles on it currently it has 79,000 The most offroading I have done is parking it in my back yard . I have enjoyed owning this truck but its time to pass it on .
