(formerly Crane) Ignition System-New Distributor Cap, rotor and magnetic pickup-Added a tachometer when I got the new carburetor so I could get the timing and tuning dialed in-Bucket seats out of I don't know what, but they are comfortable-I have a Factory Service Manual for this specific year, it's an awesome reference. I've also held on to all the manuals for anything else I've installed. I even picked up a re-pop Owners Manual from Rock Auto. -No spare tire, but I do have a spare wheel that will come with it-Original bottle jack and tire changing tool kit included, which is great because the spare tire carrier under the bed still works and I even have the original rod that is used to lower and raise it I bought this truck in May of 2016 and it has been my daily driver ever since. I recently drove it back and forth to Georgia from D.C. twice, a 1200 mile round trip. I had zero issues and wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country. It doesn't leak or burn through any oil, what you see on the oil pan is just from an oil change. The frame is in the best shape I've seen personally on an old Toyota. The previous owner had it undercoated and I can't find any spots on it that I'd even begin to be concerned about. The body has some rust, but it is minimal and personally I appreciate a little bit of rust. If it really bothered you, it's nothing that a rattle can job wouldn't fix. Other than some old Forest Roads and a couple of un-maintained roads here and there, she's mostly a pavement queen for me. I drive about 15 minutes to work and back each day. From below freezing to 99 degrees, she always fires right up in the mornings. The carburetor only has a few thousand miles on it and in my opinion is just now getting broken in. I get about 16-20 mpg on the highway, depending on terrain and traffic. All of the smog crap has been deleted, except for the PCV valve routing into the intake manifold. I found that the engine just seems to idle and run better with it hooked up. You'll notice in the photo of the dash that the red sensor light is on. Every 3,000 miles it switches on as a dummy light for maintenance. On these old trucks there isn't a button to press to reset it. You have to actually remove the bezel and pull it out of the dash and reset it on the backside. I refuse to do this because all of that plastic is old and I don't want to risk cracking any of it. I could go on and on about this little truck. It has been the most fun vehicle I've ever owned and it is so much fun to drive and work on. I figure if you're reading this, then you know what you're looking at. If you want to talk more about it, just shoot me a message and we can talk over the phone or meet up and you can take a look at her. I'm selling the truck because I am moving soon and can not relocate the truck with me. If I did not have to sell the truck, I wouldn't and I would continue to drive it every single day like I have for the past 2 years. I'm putting it up locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I really prefer local pickup only, it would really have to be worth it for me to deal with shipping. I have the Title in hand, no liens and it is in my name.
