@@yeetisthefetus7214 yyeah but that thing is neglected to the point where I wouldn't even mind the frame getting tweaked...but maybe these is a smaller engine that would suit it better. Main thing is the original engine may be boring. Trucks are made utilitarian right?

Hi Michael : Could not believe my ears when you were calling that young guy your Dad . Had to go back and listen a few times . He must have been 10 yrs old when you were conceived ! You are so fortunate to have such a young father to interact with . Mine was way old and little interaction there ! Enjoy your videos much .
I'm 44 myself, but look like I'm in my 20's, and my 11 year younger little brother is often guessed to be older than me (we don't have the same mother). My own dad looked like a highschooler when he married my mom when he was in his mid-20's. He's 73 now and it was only a couple of years ago that his hair really started to turn grey. Some of us are blessed with young looks. :)
The 18RC is a beast of an engine, and its rare. Everyone does 20r / 22r swaps on these trucks. Original engine will fetch top dollar in this truck later down the road.
Yep, the Luv was an Isuzu, the Couriers were made by Mazda. I bought a Mazda B2000 new in '86. When I sold it I had almost 300k miles on it with only one clutch replacement.
@@BudgetBuildz do a ford 5.0 swap in it with a T5 transmission 5 speed now that would be different and lots of fun I'm fixing to put a 5.0 in a pinto I got a week ago
Yeah, I'm with the rebuilders. We have similar taste in old iron, and, to me, what makes it likeable is it's simplicity and toughness. You've done the right thing saving it; keep her original. If you have a lust for a V8 swap, put it into something more common. Just my opinion; enjoying your channel.
really reminds me of my 90 toyota ext cab 4x4 rig i got for free if i could get it to run w/ a week's time frame by a area farmer i worked for during high school... 9 th grade i believe...... wooow what an awesome memory & seeing this really got me thinking wishing we had lil hand held camera's that did video back in the early 90's.............lol
I agree with what many are saying, rebuild the motor. Toyota made some fantastic motors back then as shown by the fact that you can't even drstroy an already broken moter. Tire smoke coming out of the gas filler door was cool as hell.
so what city u all in in ohio there........ & how long u all been there now..... like for many generation's or what......... just a bit curious here is all...........
Hi brother, get this baby running nice again. Let's see a strip down of this engine and mini re-build. Everything else seems good!! Loving the videos cant wait for the next one.....👍👌😉🏴🏴
My girlfriend has a '78 and it's a great little truck. Hers has the 20r engine and 5 speed - she thought it was on its last days when we met. It's her daily driver now (over her late model Toyota Highlander). These are simple durable trucks and they get great gas mileage as well. 😊 Get it running and sell it on to an enthusiast 👍
It has an 18R! When I was in the Marines back in the 80s my good friend had a adapter plate made to bolt to the intake and accept a 2 barrel carb from a Ford Pinto on his Toyota Starlet. It was running very rich, and not running good at all. He then realized that the jets were wrong so we rejetted the carb, adjusted the fuel air mixture and finally this little car was running perfect! After smoking the original clutch from doing donuts, we swapped out the clutch for a heavy duty one. We finally got this cheap little car to rip around corners and be a fun little project! Unfortunately he ended up wrecking it and he sold it for scrap, but it provided a bunch of cool memories! 😁
Nice find! Currently building a later model ('80) 4wd. Keep it Toyota, find a 22r, it will drop right in. You have your money back in the stock wheels and emblems...file for a lost title or you will regret it. Down here in South Florida, they go for about $2k..they like to make ratrods out of them. As a Toyota-holic, keep it original, still plenty of parts around. I made the mistake of changing the motor out in my '78 FJ40 to a chevy...never again! Currently a 4.7L I-Force V8 out of a '03 4Runner in it now..keep it a Toyota. Oh, sorry to be nit-picky, but it is pronounced High-Lux...Hilux...as what they still call them anywhere but here in the US! Still kicking myself for selling my 1st gen turbo diesel 4Runner...that was a sad day! All-in-all...pretty neat little trucks...if you can keep from blowing up the 18r....
I'd do a 22r swap, that's a great little truck built back when Toyotas were worth a flip. If you really want to go diesel do a turbo Perkins or that 3.0 4cylinder diesel Toyota built in the mid 90's. Love the little truck though! Next you should do a datsun pickup of a similar vintage
Live in Pickens just saw the Toyota truck and had to watch. Think I have had nearly 20 at this point. Doesn't surprise me that It will run rite out of the junk yard. Good luck with it.
it's got the tiny est lil hitch i ever saw on a truck... even as lil as this truck here..... wondering what was the mas weight it could haul or of curiousity here back then even......... yeee haaaaa
i remember that era of Toyota truck always had the beds rot out before the cab. i believe the cabs were made in Japan, but the beds were contracted from another country - two different standards of steel and undercoating.
The beds were made in the USA that's why they rotted. They did that to avoid weight and shipping tax. But unfortunately the USA companies use some really cheap Steel.
Sound and picture are great, cool little truck. I guess anything cheap another Toyota, maybe a JDM motor see what you can get online. Thanks for the video!
Man, I wish my dad and I could've worked on cars together. My dad has been a businessman since before I was born, so he never touched a car. I learned how to work on cars after Sears ripped me off when they changed my entire braking system on my Ford Exploder when all I said was that it was pulling to the right when I hit the brakes. That was 1998, and it's been downhill for me ever since. That was my 4th vehicle and right now I own three cars, and my daily is my 60th vehicle since I was 14.
Just rebuild the stock engine and fit it with a Holley Sniper EFI. If you simply can’t resist swapping in another engine, I would recommend finding a good used 4.0 L 1GR-FE V6 from a 4Runner or FJ.
Make something a bit crazy. Why not a VW or Porsche air cools engine mounted in the bed. Just throw all the rear assembly there (axle, transaxle, gearbox, engine, etc. parts are cheap and you will have the rarest Toyota in the world.
Rebuild the engine and make it reliable as is. It is way cooler and more interesting as a modest retro that you can bring to Lowes than another boring small block Chevy burnout machine. In other words - don't ruin it.
This is what people want to say they don’t have $1 million in the bank anybody can take a car to Resto ,guy and have them put everything new on it and do a frame off restoration ,if you got 50 k to blow , but when you’re just a working guy like you and me and most people do you like to do hands-on find some old car and get it up and running and do it yourself keep up the great videos guys
Really amazed the old 4 banger and clutch still had some life left in them. If you do put the 350 in there you will have to shoe horn it in. Reminds me of when GM decided to put a big V8 into their Vegas. Only problem they ran into was tune ups. Had to cut out the wheel wells to get to plugs. How about a small V6 w/manual 4 speed. Early model w/o computer controlled anything. Keep it simple and cheap.
Please save that truck! Restore it to road legal. Those engines are bullet proof! In South Africa you could easily pay $4,000 for a runner. And a suggestion - stop the burnout crap. Everyone does it and it's silly, destructive crap. Your content is great. Enjoy seeing you grow and make better videos. The sound and video with the GoPro is great. Try and get the Hilux licensed. Your kids could drive it one day. If Africa can't kill them, nothing will! (Silly burnouts will.....)
Awesome rescue! Original seems a pretty popular option - would be a great opportunity to do a tear down video and see what horrors lurk inside! If swapping out, I think you need to go for something down right obscure. How about a Lancia V4 - epic noise from a tiny engine, see Harry's Garage with his Fulvia Zagato!
@ 2 53.... if i never saw toyota on the tail-gate of it & u saying it was a 72-74 model..... i would swear it looks like the nissan / datsun version !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa
I never got the point of doing burnouts. Might be fun for the driver but watching a bunch of smoke and the odor of burning rubber doesn’t light my fire. It isn’t very good on tires either. Engine swap is a good idea. Why not grab the MG engine that you just pulled and drop it in the truck? It wouldn’t be fast but it would be different and it’s free! That ought to be in keeping with budget builds.😃
I don't think the burnouts are cool either. More like copious amounts of stupid. People now days are all about destruction. I would try and repair the engine instead of putting a nasty sticking diesel engine with big stacks in the back.
@@markbennett6658 also a valid point. People think those kinds of things are cool are more or less small minded. Or low IQ just because something might be " fun" doesn't mean it's good or Intellectual.
Don't ruin it! It's a classic. I really dig old Toyotas.
I think ypu should rebuild it. It's a rare truck

USA beds so that the trucks came in as incomplete and paid a lesser duty.

I really wish they still made small trucks like that today! No profit in it I guess.
Very true, I love little trucks!
