VERY RARE 1985 TOYOTA STRAIGHT AXLE 4X4 CUSTOM CAB

Description for Toyota Other 1985

5 SPEED, 2RE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE, IR CONDITIONING. OKAY, ERE'S THE STORY. MY DAD WAS THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS TRUCK. HE HAS HAD THIS TRUCK SINCE 1988. HE DID THE INTERIOR HIMSELF. HE PUT THE STRONGEST SUSPENSION UNDER IT HE COULD FIND SO HE COULD HAUL ANYTHING. HE ADDED A SECOND GAS TANK ABOVE THE SPARE TIRE. WHAT MAKES THIS TRUCK SO RARE IS BACK INN THE '80'S YOU COULDN'T BUY A FOUR DOOR TRUCK, amp; IT WAS VERY HARD & EXPENSIVE TO IMPORT THEM BACK THEN SO WHAT YOU DID WAS GO DOWN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND HAVE A CUSTOM CAB MADE. THERE WAS TWO CUSTOM CAB BUILDERS. ONE WAS WINNEBAGO, amp; THE OTHER WAS FAB CAB. THIS TRUCK CAB WAS BUILT BY WINNEBAGO. WHAT THEY DID WAS CUT THE FRAME, HEN STRETCH IT FOUR FEET LIKE THEY DO FOR LIMOS. PRESTO, OW YOUR TRUCK SEATS FIVE. THAT OPTION COST AROUND FIVE THOUSAND. CRAZY SINCE THE TRUCK WAS AROUND EIGHT THOUSAND NEW. NOW YOU KNOW WHY YOU DON'T SEE MANY OF THEM. LAST TIME I SAW ONE ON THE ROAD WAS 1992 & IT WAS 2WD. I'VE NEVER SEEN A 4X4 ONE. ALL THE 4 WHEEL GUYS SAY THAT '85 WAS THE LAST OF THE GREAT TOYOTA 4X4S. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT TWELVE YEARS AGO MY DAD BOUGHT A NEW TRUCK AND DROVE THIS ONE AROUND TO THE BACKYARD AND PARKED IT. I DROPPED THE GAS TANKS AND HAD THEM CLEANED OUT, HEN PUT A NEW $150 FUEL PUMP BACK IN THE GAS TANK. I TRIED TO START IT BUT THE MOTOR IS LOCKED UP. I TRIED ROCKING IT BACK A LITTLE, OTHING, HEN PULLED THE PLUGS AND POURED SOME PENETRATING OIL IN AND LET IT SIT. STILL FROZE. I HAVE LOTS OF EXTRA PARTS THAT GO WITH THE TRUCK. OWNERS MANUEL, ENTER CONSULS, NSIDE DOOR HANDLES, CT. TRUCK IS IN PHOENIX ARIZONA, UT I CAN DELIVER AS WELL. TAGS ARE GOOD FOR TWO YEARS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS JUST CALL. THANKS. 602-561-5061
