Used Car of the Day: 1981 Toyota Pickup Crawler
Today's UCOTD is a tough mudder. A 13-inch "bob" and a 5:29 Detroit rear locker, along with a 5:29 front axle are just the tip of the off-road iceberg for this 1981 Toyota Pickup Crawler.
Other goodies include 14-inch shocks using Ford shock towers, 36-inch wheels, and a winch. There's a 35-inch spare, CB radio, spare transmission, spare parts, and half doors.
The price for this California-based rig is $10,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Amazing the cargo box isn't a pile of iron oxide. Rust was running rampant on my 79 Hilux cargo box after three years.
