Supercharged 1982 Toyota Pickup 4x4 Restoration Documentary

[@jackrusselloutdoors8307]

My dad is still driving the 82 Toyota pickup 4x4 he bought brand new when i was 5 has over a million miles on it and still going strong no rust no rot still completely stock with the original paint

[@johnstamper2965]

I would like to see that truck. You should do a video on it

Hard to believe the no rust part. I had an '84 and presently own an '02, so I speak from experience. You must live in a warm, dry climate.

If you make it to a million miles on origional engine and tranny you can bring it to toyotq and sometimes they will give you a brand new one

I bought BOTH of these in 82 and still have the Truck! She is a Short bed SR-5 in Creme with the gold stripes and every option but tilt wheel. Lifted4'' and locked with 33's and a Doug Thorley Tri-Y Header. I run a Stockland hi rise camper shell but have the Hungus roll bar with 9'' Dick Cepek lights from 82 as well. She has never failed to get me home and makes me smile every time I climb in after 39 years! Best 10K I ever spent.

Beautiful truck. 😃 I had a 1983 4x4 short box which ran for over 20yrs; sadly she was rusted too much for me to save. I thought that 1983 was the 1st year with the square headlights and single tailgate latch. A friend had an 82 with the double latch tailgate. Again, a real beauty you have built.

Thats awesome. 82 was the first year of the square headlights but you can swap them around. Toyota did whatever they wanted back then lol. Cool story!

[@bertbccfu9564]

I had an 83 also , Imo this generation of the pickups was definitely the best looking overall, although the 85 gets a lot of attention with its😮 extra cab , power windows, more options ,last yr of the solid axle ,I still prefer this body style, On my 83 I didn't like that I couldn't recline my almost new recaro bucket seats I had to where I was comfortable, so after my cousin egged me on about doing it , I cut the rear wall off my cab and added 6" off of another cab I had, it worked perfectly, people would look at it and say hmm there is something diffrent about it , lol , only if you knew what to look for you'd see that behind the doors I had double vents instead of one, I installed a new set of 6" lift leaf springs that i pulled one leaf out of for a softer ride , 3" body lift, 36" tires, 22r with the rv cam, and 5.13 gears, man I miss that truck, Been looking for another one for years, I've looked at a few but being in New England every one I looked at was rotted to the door handles, I'll have to go out west one of these days and find a clean rust free project,

I remember when you could buy one setup like that new from the Toyota dealer. It was later than '82 but they were so popular that the local dealer was selling them off the lot with a lift, bigger tires, a light bar decked out with KC lights and the big tube bumpers. They had them on the lot ready to go or you could choose a stock pickup and have them install whatever accessories you wanted.
