"Fireplug"

We are pleased to offer this low-mileage, one-owner 1980 Toyota 4X4 Short Box Pickup, a wonderfully preserved example of the simple, capable trucks that helped establish Toyota’s reputation for durability. Acquired from long-term storage, this truck retains its original factory color combination of Code 336 Red over a tan interior and shows just over 51,000 miles on the odometer, which has been communicated to us as original.

Power comes from Toyota’s well-regarded carbureted inline four-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and a rugged dual-range four-wheel-drive system. Factory solid axles, leaf-spring suspension, and manual locking hubs give this compact pickup the capability and mechanical simplicity that have made vintage Toyota 4x4s favorites among enthusiasts, off-roaders, and overlanding fans.

The short-box body gives the truck a particularly appealing vintage profile while making it nimble and easy to maneuver. Exterior highlights include chrome wheels, a chrome step rear bumper, sliding rear window, and factory radio. The truck has received an older repaint in its original red color, while the interior has benefited from new seat upholstery and new vinyl flooring. Inside, the straightforward bench-seat cabin and analog instrumentation retain the honest, utilitarian character that defines these early Toyota pickups.

The engine starts and runs well, and the truck drives out well. While not presented as a freshly restored example, it offers an attractive combination of original character, tasteful updates, low mileage, and desirable one-owner history.

Whether you are looking for a vintage Toyota to enjoy on weekend drives, a capable classic 4x4 for outdoor adventures, or simply an enthusiast-grade pickup from an increasingly collectible era, this short-box Toyota is an appealing opportunity.
