Fun fact - the first bit of vacuum you removed was a high altitude diaphragm for leaning out the carburetor at elevation, it's connected to the vacuum advance.

[@richardirish2153]

I think you found a good truck! The 22R is a great engine even when abused like this one was. Makes me wonder why it was junked? Maybe too many mods done the wrong way made them give up on the truck? I hope too see you get this one back on the road or at least use the engine for another project! We had the same engine in our Toyota mini van when I lived in Panama. As a kid I gave it lots of abuse slamming it into second on a corner and locking up the rear tires to slide it around the corner. It had two air conditioners for front and rear! No heat but would keep you freezing all day long! We sold it to some friends who then sold it to a taxi driver. I went to the beach most weekends with about 12 of my friends! The thing wouldn’t break down and if it didn’t rust out it’s probably still running in Panama! I think it was a 1983 van with the same engine as this truck you have! How many stick shift vans have you seen? Ours was a 5 speed. I hope you have as much luck with yours as we did ours!

Howdy from a native Texan living in the south of France ... so happy for you. I've always been a Toyota fan since the '70's and have a 2000 HiLux 2.4 Turbo Diesel 4x4 over here. She cannot be destroyed ... rolled her in the Alps one year - engine kept chugging, hit the electric lockers and sidewall crawled her level again (yeah, the mirror and side got "smoothed" too). So I wish you congrats on your rare find ... that 22R will give you a million miles of service. Can't wait for the next installment ... Hook'em ;)

[@davenhla]

That thing is awesome. Guy up my way modified a newer longbox with some home made custom fiberglass dually fenders for one, looks factory! The flatbed is pretty hot though, and will be really useful. That front end looks mint on that truck! Shine that chrome! That is one truck in your fleet I wouldn't lower down. I like the idea of a turbo on that thing. I am sure others have done it already, probably some good aftermarket out there for it. It's doesn't need to go fast, but it would pull some stuff! Set it up with a small one so it spins up quick and use it for the torque boost instead of going for RPM HP. Put a string of battery powered Christmas lights on your..... decoration... and open the next video with a night time shot driving through the field.

That second ground went to the coach battery for the motorhome. That solenoid is a trombette solenoid to allow the alternator to charge the coach (RV deep cycle) battery when driving but not allow the 12v stuff in the RV to drain the starting/chassis battery. That switch on the dash may be an emergency start switch to allow the coach battery to boost the chassis battery if its dead. Im an RV tech and mechanic by trade. Also one of those vacuum lines probably went to heater controls
