Lead: Tacoma Dually for sale

I happened to bump into this very interesting 1st gen Tacoma Dually on autotrader. Sorry I nowhere near Ohio so I can’t check it out in person for anyone interested in it.

Well that's... something.

They're mighty proud of that 5 lug, 300k mile dually.

 

I am curious a one Ton Tacoma was never a USA option was it offered as a model outside Conus?

Toyota cab and 3.4 swap on a one ton Chassis would be the easy way well worth the price if this is enticing Tacoma Lust in you .

Not for my taste

 

Looks like a prop from a bad Disney movie.

 

For how much they want, they didn't provide crap for info.

 

The U-Hauls (the ones I can find pictures of, anyway) were 6-lug pre-Tacoma pickups.

Looks to me like an axle swap into a run-of-the-mill 5-lug Tacoma. The axle could have come from an old 1-ton Toyota chassis, though.

 

On second thought, I wonder whether the axle is even Toyota. It's got a bolt-on diff cover. Tacomas are welded. Anybody know what the Toyota 1-tons were?

 

Looks like maybe they took one of the older fiberglass campers at cut about 98% of it off.

 

Maybe call and try getting a vin number, see if that provides any answers? I actually like it, would be fun if I had stupid money to burn

 

The Toyota T100's had a 1 ton dually in early 90's.....
T100s are toyotas true first half ton truck.....Hilux are pretty much same....
the chicken law and cali emissions is why these are sold world wide....and not here...
A hint is about 95% of these are standard trannys outside of the US.....only the americans like autos.....

Think this one may of had engine swap to 4runner 6 cyl......
instead of the 3.0 one that used to eat head gaskets for breakfast.....

 

Really like that white Toy camper though, not so much for the 5 lug dually.

 

The late Toy camper, I mean...don't want anybody to think cross of me.

 

Yeah that camper is nice.....let me know if any for sale.....
.....I'd cash a C.D. for that....

 

Have seen many of these, none with a factory pickup box. Most I’ve seen were campers or a cab and chassis.

Thats 15 minutes from my house.

 

I see quite a few early 1st gens and 90s pickups with dually setups as gardener and contractor trucks in SoCal. Seems like a common swap to me at this point

 

Rockauto sells brakes for 1986 duallies, listing for cab and chassis as well as a camper. So they were available factory in both configurations.
