Re: About to pick up an 82 pick-up
Parts are plentiful, average is around 20 MPG.
Depending on where you are, give the frame a serious going over for rust.
The 80's Toyotas are notorious for it. The frame rusts from the inside out,so by the time you can see it it's bad. Use a small hammer to tap both sides of each side of the frame, especially anywhere it turns up/down from horizontal, above the rear wheels, and where the tank sits against the frame.
