1986 Toyota Pickup Extra-Cab SR5 Restoration : "The Marty Package"

[@AMF96]

Love these trucks!! My grandpa bought a 1985 SR5 4x4 pickup 22RE brand new in 1985. He had it for 6-7 years and then sold it to my dad in 1991 or 1992. My grandpa drove the truck a lot in those 6-7 years. It had around 150,000 miles on it when he sold it to my dad. My dad drove it until around 1996 or 1997. It had around 180,000 miles on it at that point. It would no longer pass emissions due to a timing chain issue. My dad tried to fix the timing chain issue but made a mistake somewhere since the truck broke down not long after he thought he had fixed the timing issue. The truck then sat in the backyard at our old house from around 1997 up until we moved in 2004. My dad then sold the truck to a junk yard around the time we moved. I was only 8 years old at the time but have fond memories of going out and sitting in the truck and pretending I was driving. Kinda wish my dad would have kept the truck. I think he now wishes he would have kept it as well. Someday if I’m ever able to afford it I’m definitely reaching out to you guys for a restoration of one of these trucks. I have watched several of your videos on them and you guys are the top quality of restorations on these trucks 👍

Very nice especially the details, I believe the movie use 2 possibly 3 trucks. There was a documentary on the movie with actors. If you could pause the scenes in the movie, the flatbed tow scene that's the 85 look closely at the front. the garage scene where the door opens the front axle and also zoom in and you'll see the SR5 buckets. the drag race scene look at the part where Marty is sitting in the seat plastic covered head rest with no SR5 markings also when they show the front end IFS. I own the 85 solid axle EFI holy grail truck fully loaded power everything including antenna but in white.

[@gregsrestorations7019]

Yes they used 2 or maybe 3 trucks. We restored the movie 2 & 3 truck and was in the Netflix documentary and discovery Channel documentary on the film. If you view our channel you will find the restoration on the screen used truck.

@@gregsrestorations7019 Most awesome way to keep the MCfly alive. Might have to get some seat material SR5 from you.

[@seanmmonaghan]

Are you able to make it a solid front axle like the 85?

[@gregsrestorations7019]

Yes we can

[@JayPoe80]

Is it usual to spray the frame without compete disassembly of chassis and suspension components? Springs, hangers, bushings, bolts, axels, etc?

[@gregsrestorations7019]

All depending on the budget customers wanted to spend. Came out nice for what it was

[@gguerra224]

I recently inherited an 86 Toyota Pickup and it’ll be my first project car. This video is my new inspiration for some of the things I want to do to it. I want to replace the suspension and possibly get some extra height, but I don’t want a body lift. How did you get the 2in lift? Any recommendations for how to do it properly would be appreciated!

[@casiermarty5176]

Were the front and rear bumpers produced by Toyota at the time?

[@gregsrestorations7019]

No smittybuilt was the aftermarket company making the tube bumpers

[@casiermarty5176]

Ok thanks I like your work

[@RJI8]

How much does a restoration like this truck costs? I have a 1987 hilux

[@beefy3361]

Im commenting cuz i also want to know

[@RJI8]

@@beefy3361 I hope we get an answer. Doesn’t have to be an exact figure (because we know, it obviously depends on the condition), but a price range would be nice. So I can start planning

[@efrainangulo7803]

What’s the cost for a resto like that

[@gregsrestorations7019]

Full frame off restorations start at $100k
