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
I am a current owner of a 2012 Tacoma TRD Baja TX. In my days in the Marines, I remember the SR5's and how I admired those trucks! Good job on the restoration, folks. If $100,000 wasn't a problem, I'd gladly pay for this truck!
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.
I was checking out a stream for fishing near their facility…and Greg pulled up in this rig. Dear god, the video does not do this truck justice. It’s absolutely beautiful.
I'm 16 and I just bought a 1981 Toyota 4x4 long box. I fixed the frame rust by myself in our shop with some 11 gauge steel and am currently going through the fuel system. I'll have her running in no time !
I have a 1980 Toyota Pickup 4x4 that needs engine work and a new paint job (also red) that I have to put up for sale, this is exactly the dream build I had for my project. It breaks my heart as I searched for two years to find the right one and then covid.
I'm 52 and remember when 4x4 Toyota pickups were cool. There is a reason they chose to use an Extracab in Back To The Future. Love what you've done to this truck. You kept it's soul intact. Actually $100,000+ isn't ridiculous for this level of restoration and quality. Well done guys!!!
I owned a 1980… to this day it was the best truck ever. I own a ‘05 F250 lariat crew cab 6.0. It’s half the truck that ol’ Toyota ever was. It could climb a tree! Thanks! Now I have an “itch” I gotta scratch 😂 (looking online for a 1980 4x4 Toyota p/u. 22r.
Too cool! I’m a huge Toyota fan and I’m totally jealous. I grew up in the 80’s and drooled on these trucks back then and still do. Thank you for doing this video. Love the cruisers too!
Even today it's in the top 3 of best looking trucks ever. And probably the number 1 most reliable. That's a beautiful truck. Great job on the transformation.
Proud owner of an SR5 , 22R , 4×4 , 1986 Toyota Pickup Truck of the Extended Cap version in red. Thank you for your motivation to start the restoration project of my little Red Truck.
I was at fort Lewis Washington in 82 ,2 buddies took me to Tacoma where there 75 of these lined up on the lot, I promised myself that someday I would have one of these, & I have 2 one I'm rebuilding the other is an 81 parts truck I picked up for $250with no title, I've went thru the front & rear axles, Tacoma brakes front & rear, land cruiser bearings in the front axle, compound turbo setup so it will always be in boost, 2017 FJ CRUISER 17 INCH WHEELS & IM NOT DONE YET! ITS HARD WORK BUT SO ENJOYABLE!
"Check out that 4x4!!" Marty was right, these trucks are gems. I've only owned one vehicle my whole life, a '92 Pickup. I wish I had the money to fully restore and upgrade her like this too. And I don't personally like Yellow or Red paint on vehicles, but this truck is still gorgeous! (Ha, three wheelers are hilarious.)
My first time here. I love the content! Great job done on this truck boys. I regret selling my 1995 tacoma. It was my first truck and I couldn't afford to keep it I always wanted something older. I just love all old trucks.
Beautiful truck. I've owned many Toyota trucks and 4 Runners, the 82 has always been one of the best looking. Your engine choice poured some salt in the wound; I had an LC 22R with a Camden blower that was slated for my 85 4Runner project that just never materialized due to life. Nice work guys.
@@gregsrestorations7019 and a yota no less. My old man is importing one from NM to replace his 88. Real excited for him. Couldn’t get him to drive anything else even though it’s kind of a death trap rust bucket. Glad he finally found something.
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.
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,
@@bertbccfu9564 Awesome story of your truck, what a great idea to add onto the cab; here is to hoping you find another. I still remember the 1st time I read on the bill of sale; "reclining seats," pulled the lever and immediately hit the cab wall, had a good laugh. Miss that truck so much. Thanks for sharing.
Wow a turbo 4 cylinder. Don’t let the turbo haters know about this and how reliable they are. They may just cry themselves to sleep. Great build by the way. Looks amazing.
You must know Ben Freed. There can't be two Toyota gurus in Barre, Mass and they are strangers. He just put a new motor in my runner. Beautiful work, by the way.
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.
Wow! I had a 82 SR5 that Had a Camden blower and 1st Gen Holley fuel injection. What a beast it was. I had 5:79 gears and 39" Mickeys. Wish I still had it!
Unbelievable how nicely done this is. These trucks were from when Toyota was making trucks that could really go places, not just looking like they can go places! Small trucks *uck so hard!!!
Absolutely awesome job! I drooled over these trucks in 1979 when I was 16. Dealer actually let me test drive it without him riding along. Owned 5 Toyota trucks since and have a half million miles on an 03 Tundra trd 4x4.
I've been painting my 79 Toyota pickup last two day sunburst yellow, got a stake bed on it and upgrading the interior but I need to take to a shop to redo do all the electrical, engine bay needs a lot of love
I hope someone somewhere has one or two of these in a museum. This was my first truck and I owned 3 of them. Classic, beautiful, rugged, fun, and reliable. I hope a 100 years from now people see one of these and go back to simpler times where driving one of these on the sugar sand at Daytona Beach or in the woods around Gatlinburg or Tellico, TN. is way better than whatever is currently the norm.
I had an 83 that needed rebuilding after only 51K miles! Did all the tric machine work to the block and head out a offenhouser fuel port intake with a holly 600 4 barrel carb the block and head were powder coated in Ford blue that matched the pin stripping on dark charcoal paint.it was sweet yours brings back so many good memories Thanks for sharing👍
When I was growing up in Southern Cali in the late 70's-80's these trucks were everywhere. Because of that, they have always been one of my favorite trucks ever made. You guys did a stunning job on the resto!! 👍👍👍
in nor cal we had gobs of 4wd conversions with the dana 44 from jeeps swapped in to the 70's mini trucks running around. toyota finally took notice and started building their own. i wanted one so bad in 1980
I came to see the restoration, I stayed to stare at the photo of my white WRX behind the truck while it was on the dyno! I bought it from a guy in that area so it’s obviously a photo taken from when Bren owned it, but how weird to just randomly see it in this video! I loved that car!
The Japanese were touched by the gods to help design these. Had a chance to trade for an 83’ without power steering and I’ll always regret not jumping on it.
I had a 1980 Toyota Truck similar to the stock one you started with and also had a 1982 ATC 250r in the back of it much of the time going to races and late night rides. Great memories but this truck is in another dimension. Nice job and thanks for the memory reboot. :-)
Had the chance to trade off a 79 Jimmy for one of these new on the lot for not much difference. Didn't do it and always regretted it. These were fantastic little trucks, had the look of a highboy ford, but so much easier to get around. This is the nicest restoration I've ever seen, would love to have it.
Very Nice... I loved my 81 (also on 31" BFG). I put Red MR2 seats in mine as the bench was horrible. I had a race built motor in mine which was hilarious. Restoring just the bed is such a PITA, much less all the rest, so much respect!
Beautiful truck! I had an '80 and and '83. Those trucks are bulletproof. Also had a '91 xcab and an '88 that was stolen last year. I live in Hawaii and Toys are king and worth a ton of $$$ here.
Currently having my mk3 toyota hilux pickup truck restored in the uk so seeing this video really as given me the inspiration to get it on the road asa. Great video
dude thats so sick!.......i had that same truck back in the 80s, very nice job man......would never expect someone to do that for this truck.....those 22r motors were bullet proof!.....a buddy had one 2WD with over 500k miles on it,....went to baja surfing, just everywhere in that lil truck.....would not die....change oil and battery thats it
Hi, from Germany! Well made, fine Peace of Historie! I love these Toyota's! Forget all these Cars from today!!! They don't so long without Problem... The E5 or E6 Restrictions here in Europe are totaly Sh.. You understand me? Awesome Work, Mister! Go on and rescue these Toyota's! 😎
Ah the good old days of my youth, where obesity was an anomaly, and you still buy small pick ups. Even the full size were not as rotund and bloated as today's....sigh, as obesity grew, so did pick ups. Great job on the restoration of a classic 4x4.
So, you had this trucks restoration done, I am very interested in knowing the actual cost of this restoration, also did you have a hand in on the restoration or was it all Greg and his team? Glad someone has this beautiful truck and is driving it!
Just for fun greg and his team were the only ones who worked on the truck besides the tuner, my family and I had the vision for the truck and they brought it to life.
I loved the early Toyota pickups; Owned a black 1983 Toyota pickup. It was a limited Mirage Edition & came with aluminum bull & roll bar, only 300 made. I should have kept that one.
THANK YOU..TRYING TO KEEP MY 87 4RUNNER GOING.300K,BEEN ALL OVER THE WEST/ROCKY MOUNTAINS,NOW IN MAIN..I HOPE ONE DAY TO RESTORE IT AND YOU CAN DO IT..STAY WELL
@@gregsrestorations7019 Yes I will , if I won the lottery that's what I'd build , either one I'm 68 and I've owned pretty much every year of Toyota pick-up until 2000 ! Had a 92 with 3.0 liter , sold it at 650k and I still see it around , thanks for the video !
Wow you did such an awesome job on that rebuild that’s like a dream truck I have a 91 22 RE automatic transmission that I bought for 3000 it runs but not going into reverse I really love the truck I’m just not sure if I should keep it and try to build it I don’t have a whole lot of money I have a family and I work but I really love driving the truck even without reverse I don’t know what to do but I really love what you did there with that truck man that’s awesome
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
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.
that’s cap
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
@@martysoutdooradventures2946 not likely since they don’t make em any more.

Thank you!
That is awesome. I had a 1980 4x4, tan in color just like yours originally. Miss that truck
I had a 85 longbed that had a 2" lift, and 31's on it. LOVED that truck!
Wow. this is nostalgically amazing. Museum material right there
Excellent job guys...........attention to detail are simply superb..........
My second favorite truck of all time , behind the 1985 and 1/2 Toyota with the straight axel and fuel injection !
Make sure to watch our bttf toyota video as well as blueboy. Both 85s!
@@gregsrestorations7019 Yes I will , if I won the lottery that's what I'd build , either one I'm 68 and I've owned pretty much every year of Toyota pick-up until 2000 ! Had a 92 with 3.0 liter , sold it at 650k and I still see it around , thanks for the video !
Wow! Beautiful!
Thank you sir
Wow you did such an awesome job on that rebuild that’s like a dream truck I have a 91 22 RE automatic transmission that I bought for 3000 it runs but not going into reverse I really love the truck I’m just not sure if I should keep it and try to build it I don’t have a whole lot of money I have a family and I work but I really love driving the truck even without reverse I don’t know what to do but I really love what you did there with that truck man that’s awesome
How many miles does that original tranny have
Wow! Done & done right. Better than original IMO.
How beautiful truck greetings from Honduras
