1983 Toyota Pickup review from North America
"I'd buy it tomorrow if I had a time machine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 water pumps, an alternator and various other expendables (belts, hoses brake linings etc).
General comments?
This truck survived floods, snow storms, 112 degree vacation trips, overweight cargo loads, and a teenage punk-ass son who got into some crap with low-lifes who broke out my windows & door locks and stole a cheap radio. Yet it drives today @ 70mph with ease! I now drive a 97 Tacoma with Auto trans and carpet and AM/FM (I'm a slave to luxury, forgive me!). Oh the 83?. Still in the driveway ready to go! I'm giving it a well deserved R&R.
