Topic: 1982 toyota standard cab diesel advice?

[jonnyblackfoot]

my brother has a chance to pick up a 1982 standard cab diesel that is in good running conditon...it is the 2.2 liter diesel 2wd pickup.
the seller is asking 1800? What do ya'll think?

Also, i finally got a 89 4runner and the clutch is going out after only a few weeks of having it..I have no idea how to change out a clutch should I get a professional or try and get the haynes to do it myself?

Horrible deal!  Give me the seller's address and I'll go tell him to drop his price

[jonnyblackfoot [OP]]

how much would be good for that pickup...i understand that they are relatively rare?

[79coyotefrg]

they are very rare,  if it runs good  go get it

[toyotanner]

on the clutch thing do it yourself it doesnt take that long just make sure you have someones help to drop the tranny its kinda heavy

[jonnyblackfoot [OP]]

thanks tanner...I'm gonna grab a chiltons and give the clutch a whirl

because of the weight of the transfer case,the tranny will want to turn on its side,I say its a good idea to get a tranny jack or strap the tranny to your floor jack so it doesnt want to turn over when you try to put it back in

Marlin clutches  ROCK,  and  unless you TRY  to burn it up  you never will, ive towed and  offroaded  for 5 years  and my clutch still looks new

MC 1200 NON ceramic

fwiw  remove the tcase  then remove the tranny

together they are 200 pounds

this will give me a reason to get a new jack...My wife appreciates a good reason for any new tools i get. And I am defiinitely going Marlin with the new clutch.  What is the big difference between ceramic and non ceramic...I drove a guys  22re with a ceramic and it drove like a champ?

[79coyotefrg]

trail truck  go ceramic,  daily driver  go  regular  NON ceramic

thanks for all your help

So did you buy it?  You could easily make some money off it if it runs, or deliver it out to california for me
