This 1970 Toyota Hilux pickup truck is finished in green over a black vinyl interior and is powered by a 1.9L 8R-C inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a bed liner, rear mud flaps, lap belts, and 14″ steel wheels with flat-dish hubcaps. Maintenance since the seller’s acquisition in 2015 includes rust repair and a repaint, along with a tune-up, exhaust work, and service of the brakes, suspension, cooling system, and electrical components.
The truck was repainted in its current green finish in 2017 and features amber lights atop the front fenders as well as replacement amber taillights. Additional equipment includes a folding tailgate, a bed liner, bed tie downs, and rear mud flaps. The seller reports that the rocker panels have rust that has been treated with preventive coating and notes patches of rust in the bed and in the cab where the floor meets the rear bulkhead.
Black powder-coated 14″ steel wheels wear flat-dish hubcaps and are mounted with 195/75 Venezia Classic 787 whitewall tires. The seller reports that the braking system was refreshed and front wheel bearings were replaced in 2015, and replacement suspension bushings were installed in 2017.
The cabin features a black vinyl bench seat joined by a matching dash pad and door panels along with a painted steel dash and rubber floor mat. The seller reports that the lower bench seat was recovered in 2015, retractable seat belts and new door seals were installed in 2017, and the windshield washer pump was replaced in 2020. The dash pad is cracked, the sun visors have been removed, and the seller recommends installing a replacement heater vent hose.
A two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 90-mph speedometer and a combination gauge displaying coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer indicates 64k miles.
The carbureted 1.9-liter 8R-C inline-four was factory rated at 109 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The seller states that a replacement battery was installed in 2015 and that the radiator was flushed and the engine oil, transmission fluid, and differential fluid were changed at that time. The engine has since been tuned, and a new distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, and spark plugs as well as a new starter were installed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The seller notes intermittent difficulty engaging first gear and reports that the clutch cylinders and the gear shifter bushings were replaced in 2017. Corrosion appears on the frame and underbody, and a replacement tail pipe was installed in 2020.
