1978 Toyota Pickup from North America - Comments

I've owned several of the '75 to'78 Toyota trucks. Currently I have two, a '75 that I bought from the second owner with 202,000 on the clock and a 78 longbed, both the same color of Yellow! The '75 now has just under 350,000 on it, but it's been through some replacement parts. Currently, I'm converting it to 4 wheel drive.

I've owned the '75 for over 20 years, and it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. The child I drove home from the hospital as a baby now want to drive it as soon as I'm done.

Id love to have a late model truck under my camper won't happen that being said my sandpack camper best I could ask forif my campers rockin don't cxome knocken.

I too had a 1978 Toyota Camper. Awesome vehicle. Bought it on an island in Mexico and drove it all over Mexico and the northern part of Central America before taking it back to Oregon. The next winter we drove it from there to the most southern point on this continent you can drive to in the Darien jungles of Panama. Due to gas and time I had to sell it there but ended up getting $500 more than I paid for it (after repairs it about evened out). It was the perfect vehicle to that kind of trip. Simple enough that any repairs can reasonably be done on the road. And even though the 4 cylinders are pulling a LOT of weight, the power and mileage were reasonable. I brought along a good tow strap in case I ever got stuck, but only ended up using it to pull locals out of the sand at the beach! I miss my "Cabrona". My next vehicle will almost definitely be an older Toyota.
