Thank you for all the support on the last video!
In todays video I take my newly acquired 1973 Toyota Hilux for its first drive, and realize there are more issues that need addressed, so I manual transmission swap the truck!. I just purchased this truck and am super excited to get it running and back on the road for the first time in 20 years! Absolutely crazy that this 50 year old truck only took a little work to get it back on the road!

What ENGINE would YOU swap into this truck if you had the chance??
Maybe one that your 5 speed would normally be mated to??? I'm not but you're crafty enough to make fuel injection work!
A 22R I think that what they call em
Any Toyota from 20R to 22R engine is perfect for this 1973 year model Toyota Hilux
turbodiesel from the '85 camry
My head is leaning towards any kind of turbo diesel that could fit. The amount of torque you could get on a truck that light would be delicious
Those trucks run forever here in Africa
One of my re furbished toyota starlet 1 3 hundred something hp ended up in africaa few years ago it had 434 000 km on it an compression was god. Shouldnt have ditcht it.
Put a rear bumper in it. And put a cab guard too.
As long as they don’t rust they last forever!
@@redlineranch.body work and paint is less than $150
Dude I feel so blessed to have ran into your channel early on! You’re definitely gonna blow up and be successful, best of luck with it all
I seriously appreciate the support and am stoked to see where this leads, I love fixing old cars and building cool stuff!
Same here and couldn't have said it better myself. Wrenches and fabs to make something better all while being humble, personable, and makes great content that's fun to watch. Fella is gonna go far with this for sure.
You took the words out of my mouth! This is going to be big.. keep it up young man!
Too bad the government decided that we had to buy BIG $ trucks loaded down with useless crap, computers and extra turbo. If automakers could legally sell a brand new 2wd 4 cylinder manual small pickup or sedan, they would sell as many as they could make.
I hear no lies.
Exactly. Stuff that WORKS!
i have a new 2x2 Tacoma i wish they would make them smaller too
Agreed
The regular compact size is just enough. With 4 cylinder or V6. No V8s. Because gas price now a days is so high. And so many limited parking spaces for big cars and trucks.
I'm from South Africa and I grew up around Toyota Hiluxes as my dad is a die hard fan of them. I have the same one as the one you swapped in the 3RZ into, but I swapped in a 2JZ-GE VVTi. Your channel will blow up pretty big soon.
that sounds like an awesome build!
Again, the truck is beautiful
couldn't agree more!
Very nostalgic. Quite a few of these can still be found on the roads here in Kenya. RHDs with column shifters- naturally. Fantastic video as always.
Very cool! Not too many here in the states!
Wow! I'm so glad this channel popped up on my feed last week. I immediately subscribed after watching the first video on this awesome truck and couldn't believe you didn't have at least 200k subscribers. My dad bought a brand new Toyota pickup manual with the 22re in 1992 and sold it 10 years later with 500k miles on it and it was still running strong. Ever since then I've been obsessed with these trucks. Especially pre 1995 models. Can't wait to see you blow up with this channel. It won't take long given the quality of these videos.
I hear ya bro. I have kept my 1992 with 22RE/5spd/2wd/a-c/ very simple and awesome pickup bought new. I have just lavished it with a whole front-end replacement kit..the first ever in 32 years. And this thing has over 600K. It is unbelievable that it starts up RIGHT NOW every single time. I want to be buried in my 92 Toy!
I appreciate the support and I'm working hard to make the best content and videos I can, I'm glad they are being enjoyed!
i love when youtube recommends these gem channels. subbed
This Is Cool ! Great To See A Very Capable Young Man With His Abilities To Problem Solve And Fix This Truck ! Looking Forward To Next Video On This Truck When You Finish Tweaking It Out ! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
Right on! Hoping to get it completely ironed out soon!
That's Cool Looking Forward To Your Finished Ride ! 🙂🙂🙂@@redlineranch.
Love your Mad Max talents!
Thanks!!
The look you expressed when taking out for the test run was priceless. Excellent videos!
pure relief that it was so much better
Good to see you again buddy.
I’m glad to be back!
Don't forget the seatbelts 😅
I owned a 73 Toyota truck with a 7 ft. camper on the back. In 1975 I drove from Edmonton, Canada, south through Salt Lake City, Reno to San Diego, walked across the border into Mexico for a few hours. Then drove up the coastal road home. Quite a trip.
That’s the kinda trips I want to go on!
Reminds me of Terminator 2 "This is the vehicle's top speed" - Driving a HiLux sized pickup truck with some camper-like box on the bed at 55 MPH
I don't watch alot of channel's like this, but that Hilux caught my interest.
Can't wait to see what you do with it next time.
Great to hear, more to come!
90s Subaru Impreza seats are good fit cool truk!
Noted!
Back in the day, I had a 1977 Toyota Hilux, 4 speed manual transmission, blue like yours. Very good truck
Right on it’s an awesome truck!
Such a cool little truck. Really cool to see you give it a new lease on life and looking forward to seeing what else you do with it.
I'm excited to be able to bring it back to the road and start using it, plus making it more usable!
Love this video and these old trucks. I used to have an ‘85 diesel Toyota pickup. Wish I would have never sold it. I agree with the many other comments. Your channel is going to blow-up huge soon! Keep up the great work.
I want an old Toyota diesel truck, that’s one thing I’ve never had.
I appreciate the support and am glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Great work as always! You are very resourceful - not just spending money on new parts, this is the way it should be! Keep us the great work, about 1000 more subscribers since last time!
why spend hard earned money if I don't have to?! the goal it to make cool stuff not spend the most money!
Here in the Philippines, those pick up were powered by a 12R engine , 1600 cc.....I use one during my college days and it's reliable
super Stout he says.. 20 more days till mine comes out of winter storage!!! great vid!!! almost time to buff that paint...
Right on! its always nice to get it out for the year! hopefully I can get it buffed up soon!
Great work and trouble shooting. I totally enjoy watching this progress and am looking forward to the next update! Keep on truckin!!
Thanks for the support! I'm looking forward to making this truck into something really cool!
Ok. I restored a different year. It was a 76’. This generation was made between 75’ and 78’. It had a few improvements. As the manual said, it had more cabin room for “ oversized American drivers”. I am 6 feet tall, and it was difficult for me to fit in there, so I can only imagine in a 74’. It came with a 20R, hemi head engine. The 76’ was the first year for front disk brakes. That being said, I drove it home from the auto delivery service, and the front end suspension and other parts were shot. Also the exhaust manifold was cracked, like I think the one in this video. ( yeah, I think it got me high on exhaust fumes on the way home. ) Had it welded. Pulled engine, and replaced all seals and fluids. Did some body work, and had it painted. Replaced all tune up parts, and minor stuff like alternator,water pump, etc. This was in 2008, so a lot of parts were being obsoleted, and were cheap. I would be glad to share some pics, but I can’t figure out how to do that here.
Nice job on the trans conversion. I knew it would run 5 times better than the old slush box!
It made such a difference I didn’t even expect to enjoy driving it as much as I do now that it’s done
You did a great job with the swap. I subscribed.
That lil truck needs a drive train rebuild. Great to see it on the road though!
It does!
2nd Gen 4Runner seats are my go to swap for any Toyota
I have been looking, hard to find them in decent shape
Lived in Las cruces my whole life and didn't even know that those towns existed
The back drive to Santa Fe is beautiful it is a great drive if you’re ever going that way and aren’t in a rush
From one Nicholas to another, keep doing the work you do -- I've loved this series so far. As far as seat swaps go, I did some quick forum research and it seems like a '90 4Runner's might be a bolt in for the 80s Hilux, unsure on the '73. Otherwise seems like you're not afraid for a little custom work so maybe looking at smaller Japanese cars from the 80s/90s/00's or a Cavalier seat swap. I know the Cavy swap was doable on S10s
I’m Thinking a newer Tacoma/ 4runner 4 cylinder
Really cool like the manual conversion way better
It made the truck much much better
In Africa, they are still working better than today new truck!
Man you did a great job on that crossover memo man you do some really good work man I love them old Dodges and Dachshund like that
Thanks!
I had a feeling with the manual gearbox it would be so much better
night and day difference
Nice channel...I like it man😮
Glad you enjoy it!
It's good to go
so much better!
Talented fabrication, very enjoyable video. Keep them coming!
Thank you very much! I plan on keeping them going and making more cool stuff!
Another banger video! You do a great job of balancing all the work done and not getting hung up on filming every nuanced detail, in addition to keeping the video within that golden 25-55 minute video length. In short: you keep things moving, and 25 minutes goes by in what feels like 5 minutes.
that's very reassuring to hear, I try to keep it on point and moving at a decent pace, while showing everything that's important and not too much of the stuff that's boring or repetitive.
glad you're enjoying the videos!
Love this build
Just wait!
What a great chanel man you deserve more subscribers!
I appreciate that! Trying to get good quality videos out
@@redlineranch. Same here, i’m slowly growing my channel! 😂
Gotta tell you got some ball$ ;)
That is a great vid and a very needed swap.
Lol, i appreciate it, glad you enjoyed!
Hey brother I❤ the way u are making MONEY, that's so cool ur the best for me
22RE swap would be a pretty nice upgrade without going stupid with putting an LS or something V8 in it.
I'm thinking that or possibly a 3rz swap from a tacoma!
Dont know about the transmission but you definitely gotta fix the odometer and all the other gages as they you technically be much less hastle
Hopefully I can get everything working again
She’s supposed to have an L43 four speed manual, which would be almost impossible to find. But I have one…
I have a lead on one very close to me, but the fact is that a 5 speed is more usable, and it was free, plus it can be used if I want to engine swap the truck, so it just made sense.
@@redlineranch. yes absolutely and it would be better on gas. My sister had a 76 that I had found a spare trans for. She’s had it for many years and loves it.
Use the ROPE around wheels ALIGNMENT method. Easy! Look up>>> do it YOURSELF alignment. Works really well!
Good call!
previous video i forgot to subscribe,i am noww
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate the support!
Lol I'm from Madrid, Spain 😂
That’s awesome!!
Make a deep cleaning video for the truck may be?
not a bad idea!
And then the clutch Wil be connected as successfully
can't believe that rusty clutch did so well!
I want to see some body and interior works
Soon!
Why didn't you bend the clutch pedal out of the way?
Hope your channel takes off, I used to work on and own these cars when I was a kid
there isn't much room before the wheel bump out in the floor and it would have started to limit the pedal travel. most old Toyotas have tiny pedals for that reason
Thanks for the support I appreciate it!
@@redlineranch. righto, never noticed
I had 3 Supras, about 5 Celicas including a 1975st and a Hilux over my youth
Hi Nicholas How are you?
ya its 8-10 ibs head really needs support when driveing people wonder why long trips are hard like gear back in day was whole process coat gloves had lot them did not have cab lot people have no clue how got have right clothes right mind set gear other people near will experice the whole thing miss old cars wmd or real old like collector
You need a bench seat so your lady can scooch up next to you
What’s up with your rear glass! It annoys me
It’s plexiglass that’s about 20 years old
Seatbelts might be good… 😅
This was built before safety was invented
On the list for sure!
Next an engine swap
What would you put in it?
You still haven't washed the back window
It’s not washable, it’s plexiglas that’s sun faded very bad, and it needs replaced. Glass is almost impossible to find though
ya it a toy and its a pos other than that it need v8 swap make it up to date or wise like 4 cyl thier just way under power for refuctions current traffic great to each thier own had thier time and place was cheap inport now if you watch so bag them so drop them some rather just body swap to 4 runner size close others newer smashed chassies with 5.7 iforce vvt point is 22 re or any of them diesel well got inport that
Jokes aside, old vehicles are more fun than "Tiktok"s Lambo
old cars are awesome
I know I was jealous before, now I'm really jealous!! You really are working towards a special little truck! I'm anxious to see what is next!
Im very excited for what’s next, can't wait! It’s starting to shape into a good truck!
I wish i have one of that compact pickup truck. It has spacious cargo space!
Amazimg job. Amazing video. I wish I knew and had all the knowledge that you have to fix up cars and trucks
Thanks! I appreciate the support!
It all starts slow, just do what you can and try to accumulate knowledge as you conquer bigger tasks!
Actually a great channel. Good structure to the videos and consistent uploads. As long as you keep consistently putting up the content you like, this is gonna blow up like crazy. Great work.
Much appreciated! Trying to make sure I stay consistent and get good quality videos out regularly
Why do you Ned to swap out the automatic transmission with a manual transmission? You can have the automatic trnsmission rebuilt in less than two weeks at you local transmission shop specializing in Toyota transmission. You probably need to have you speedometer and odometer cables replaced and the odometer teeth gear replaced as well.
PLUS......
PLEASE UPGRADE TO THREE POINT RETRACTABLE REEL SAFETY BELTS!!!!!
Lastly.......
Would you consider doing an LS1 engine swap upgrade?
I swapped because I want to use the truck and the automatics rob so much power and have fewer gear options that it takes away from the capabilities, plus the manual I put in it can be used for quite a few engine swaps and will hold the power of a newer engine. and I actually already got the speedo working, the cable was just not connected
I should for sure find some shoulder belts, as the lap belts are not very confidence inspiring.
I've thought about a v8 but think id want to keep it pure to Toyota and do either a newer 4cyl or a Toyota v8.
Looks like a Ford C4 auto would fit & then he could add a gear drives O.D.
the offer for the dual port intake manifold is still valid if you would let me know how to get it to you.
I'm setting up a channel email and back end to be able to take messages and contact people while maintaining a work balance, I'll have that email posted on my channel this week. I appreciate you reaching out and am thankful to have people like you in my still forming community!

Ive been really enjoying this restoration keep up the great work and videos. Ive been working on fixing up a 1985 Toyota sunrader. Now Im kinda looking for another old truck to start a project on.
Sunraders are super rad! My brothers got a channel that’s got a ton of camper and sunrader content @elevatedoverlandgarage
Vintage Toyotas are the best!
I have a 1995 Toyota 2wd 5 speed. I took the bench seat out to hopefully get re done and used Mazda RX 8 seats. $60 each at the junkyard. Maybe some Sion seats or matrix. Junkyard hunt
Im thinking a junkyard hunt is going to be the best bet for seats!
That Hilux is begging for a 4y motor. Coupled with the 5 speed, it'll have enough torque.
The y motors are not common here in the states
Knew those mountains looked familiar… NM
Nothing like them!
I would have started with a proper tune up of the motor. Maybe this is why the torque converter is hunting. Not enough torque to make it change.
Not sure if that’s why it slammed from 3rd to 2nd at 50
Oh your not old enough but old Toyotas automatic transmission have to start in 1 then when you get to 30 then you go to 2
The big issue was it forcing the down shift from 3-2 at speeds and jerking the truck heavily
NOW you can drive it to North Central Florida where I can buy it
Lol, maybe one day!
get some nice oem shocks on the truck it will improve the feel a TON
Good thought, shocks improve almost every vehicle ever
I would rebuild if possible, keep it original...
I might, but I also like the idea of enough power to keep up with modern highway traffic
love your channel bro 👌👌👌
Glad you enjoy it!
These kind of rescue & builds are much more "My speed." No tubs, 800HP engine build, $30K paint job, custom, custom-stitched baseball-glove leather interior...stuff that is just a money hole on a vehicle you can't or won't use. I've built a '76 Valiant sedan I got for $0 in the same vein; 318 fully built (340 forged crank, forged I beam rods, '90 '308' casting heads, Edelbrock intake & carb, distributor built & curved for the combo, TBS headers, etc), 2.5" dual exhaust with an X crossover, 8.75' swap with 3.23 sure grip gearing, even a factory A-833 OD stick conversion! It's received 12" rotor swap, BAC suspension & steering, FFI rear sway bar & 11.2" rear discs. Weather stripping, carpet, headliner, radio converted (looks stock, but has digital AM/FM/BlueTooth, 4-speaker output and amp hook up).
The whole goal was to have a vintage car that can keep up with traffic, much better handling & brakes, reliable and as trouble-free as possible. It's almost where I want to to be
That's the goal with this build, something vintage that can perform with modern cars, but I'm not afraid to drive.
@@redlineranch. Best part? No payment & retains value at a minimum. I live in a very nice area, have a couple nice cars, but the funny thing is the Plymouth grabs the most attention. Waves, smiles, people talking about owning one, a friend in HS/college had one, grandpa...it's cool in that way
Go to a junk yard and pull some truck back seats or SUV rear seats. They're always in newer condition and they have less padding which gives you more room in a small truck.
That’s a good thought, I should walk the local pick and pull
A Durango second or third row could work. Second row has tilt but third row has super thin padding and isn't as wide.. Depends on interior cab width and what will fit.
Hilux never die 🔥🔥
so true!
Where seats reclining to mate😊
if you move far enough forward you can get a click or two back, and sometimes that's all it takes on a long drive, that's my experience in my 88' pickup
Love this build. You have skills 👍.
Have owned a 1977 FJ40 Landcruiser and currently own a 1992 1-HZ Diesel swapped 80 series.
Really love the simplicity and reliability of these older Toyota trucks
Right on those are sweet rigs!
we called the auto trans a slush bucket and they did rob power even when they were new , but the stander trans may need a little help too ... your doing good work
they defiantly are not fast trucks, but the manual makes it so much better!
I just like that TOYOTA HILUX its a very strong 🇿🇦🇿🇦😎😎😎😎😎😎👍🙏🙏👋👋👋👋👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best thing you could have done was to manual swap especially a five speed gear box my Hilux is a manual and l love it maybe an engine swap would be a 22R motor
Subaru seats!
I have a set of 21’ crosstrek seats but they are pretty big lol
Great video, but ya gotta improve your audio.
My audio is actually high quality for my video levels, I’m using high end mics for all my recordings, I just live in an extremely windy area that’s right next to a major highway, it’s hard to get good audio in those conditions
@@redlineranch. Thank you. On another subject. I got tired of fucking around with the points on my Hilux, so my Son found an electronic distributor that fitted my 3Y motor. Not sure if the same could be done to the 18R.
Buff it out!
I want to do that soon!
Brilliant videos. You're a talented fella.
Thank you kindly, glad you’re enjoying them!
Coming along very nicely. Great rebuild mate. Its because of people like you that we have these classic cars still on the road today. Rob.
Trying hard to build cool things!
I hate to say so, but I told you so!
What is the email address for your channel?
I LOVE your truck!!! And your videos is very good. I enjoy watching how you work and it inspires me to carry on with my project.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoy them and it’s great to hear I help motivate you!
🤘🏼
The 90-95 4runner 89-95 pickup seats are always a great swap into older trucks. Not sure how well they will align with the factory mounting holes in that era.
I’m not sure many seats will bolt in without modifications
Been wanting one of those Toyotas 18Rc engines powered trucks for years
So reliable!
2001 Ford Focus has some very comfortable seats
Noted!
super cool to have this new release !! Was waiting for it. Thanks
Awesome to hear you were looking forward to seeing it!
This is lit 🔥
I love this truck!
This is a awesome adjustment for transmission
Well needed!
@@redlineranch. Yes you are doing a great job 🙂
Fantastic.,.
Thanks
Bread
Lol fr I was thrown off by the random 🍞. Is it like a running joke ?
@@davidguerrero6622No but there was bread around 11:13. But it should be
The bread was used to pull the pilot bedding from the spare engine
@@redlineranch. 😂 Thanks for the info. That's pretty cool
