All 1st. gen 4Runners through 1985 were shipped this way and then if a rear seat was installed it was an option. They did this to beat the taxes that would have been charged if it were shipped with the rear seat. They stopped doing that for the 1986 model and were shipped with the seat.
When the pickups were still made in Japan, they were shipped over here without a bed to beat the import taxes. Use to see rows and rows of trucks with no beds in a holding lot off 680 in California.
That explains why the paint on my bed has aged differently than the cab............
