    This seems to be a mishmash of a 1989-1994 pickup, a 1993-1998 T-100, and a 1995-1997 Tacoma; I think it most closely resembles a T-100...

    1989 Toyota pickup; No A/C, no power steering, no rear bumper, factory radio delete...

    It has power brakes and a heater, which were of course standard; Literally the cheapest Toyota truck you could buy in 1989, and I love it!

    I actually found pictures of the only other truly no-frills Toyota truck that I've ever seen in person, taking during a trip to Northern California back in 2009! Specifically, the pictures were taken at the Nepenthe restaurant in Big Sur; Like the white 1989 I saw a couple of weeks ago, this red truck has no A/C, no rear bumper, and not even a radio!

    I was actually taking pictures of a red RC 2WD Tacoma that I saw in the parking lot when another guy saw my TOYOTA hat and pointed me towards this truck.

    1989 Toyota 4x4 with a custom wood bed; It apparently has a remanufactured 2.4L with less than 40K miles. It also has factory A/C! This truck seemed to be mint, though I didn't look at the frame, and I believe that the bed was likely replaced because it rusted out...

    After the Cars & Coffee, I stopped for gas and junk food at a nearby Wawa, and the owner of this 1992 XtraCab 4x4 V6 drove up to me with the intention of asking me about my own truck! Believe it or not, this thing is an Ohio truck its whole life! The previous owner took incredibly good care of it and had piles of maintenance records. The truck is rather sparsely optioned, but still quite well-equipped; It has A/C, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, and cloth seats. The only thing not stock about it is the stereo system.

    I saw this gem at a car show at the Red Mill Museum Village; It is a "Mini-Cruiser" obviously based on a 1986 Toyota 1-ton cab/chassis, and I initially thought it was a Dolphin, but the woman who owns it corrected me. The owner is an older woman who bought it from the original owner in 2016, after her husband died; The truck had just 22K original miles on it when she bought it for just $6,000. It now has about 60K miles on it; She drives it! She's drive it coast to coast and numerous places in between, and though it's incredibly slow, it's got a 22R and is just as reliable as you would expect! ENJOY!

    The truck does have working A/C that has been converted to R134a, but a blower motor has gone bad after nearly 40 years and the A/C is rather weak at the moment; There is no A/C in the camper part...

    I have peeked through the windows of numerous Toyota campers over the years, but I don't remember much about them, like whether or not they had features like power windows and intermittent wipers; This one is built on a fairly basic truck. It does not have intermittent wipers, and in this picture you can see it does not have digital clock that would normally be located to the right of the HVAC controls...
