1985 Toyota Factory 2L-T Turbo Diesel Pickup - Standard Cab Long Bed

1985 Toyota Other Description

I am selling my Toyota turbo diesel project truck. The truck is a rare 1985 Toyota Turbo Diesel standard cab, long bed. This is an original factory turbo diesel, and NOT a conversion! Not many of these original trucks remain, and they do not come up for sale too often. When I bought this truck, the engine was seized. I bought over-sized pistons and had the engine professionally rebuilt from top to bottom. I have put over $7000 in total into this truck. In addition to the rebuild, I have replaced and/or done the following:
- New heavy duty clutch was installed during engine rebuild.- New timing belt at rebuild.- New batteries. Now about 2 years old.- New tires.- Professionally rebuilt turbo charger.- Fuel pump professionally tested and checked out fine.- Glow plug circuit rebuilt.
The truck has a 5 speed transmission, power steering and power Brakes. The truck starts right up with no effort. The tags/registration are current and paid up to November 30, 2017 (California).
The bad:- The truck will need a new high altitude compensator, as when it is plugged into the vacuum system, the car suffers from a severe lack of power.- The paint is faded and the body has dings and dents (as can be expected from a 30 year old vehicle) and could use a new paint job.- The radio works but will need to be replaced as the display is burned out.I will require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of close of auction with balance due at pickup of vehicle.
Feel free to ask any questions that you may have about the truck. I will be happy to answer them.
