Up for sale this on Ebay is a 82 Toyota pickup with the diesel motor (jt4ln44dxc0071715: LN44D = diesel 2wd longbox deluxe). This truck has the L diesel motor with the L52 5 speed transmission. It also has air conditioning, although reported in the listing as not working. The camper shell was probably on the truck since new keeping the bed in pretty good shape for the year. The rest of the exterior is in decent shape, although the blue color doesn’t appear to be original indicating it may have been painted at some time. The interior is not the best of shape, but not totally trashed by any means. The seller indicates the aftermarket radio is not included in the sale so that will leave a giant hole in the dash. The glass all appears to be in good shape although this truck does not have vent windows or a rear slider.

These trucks are in extremely high demand right now. The history report shows this as a 1 owner truck and it appears to be mostly in original condition. As rare as they are there are people exporting these trucks out of the country and some others that I know of that are “collecting” them making it almost impossible to buy an old diesel Toyota truck. So click on the link below for more information or to bid on this 82 Toyota diesel pickup.

This diesel truck received 50 bids and sold for $5250.25

Up for sale this week on Ebay is a 1995 Toyota Extended Cab 4X4 that has been converted from gas to diesel. According to the auction listing:  The paint is in excellent condition.

The entire bed and body were removed to clean and prep the frame for a new paint job.  The entire frame was cleaned, primed and painted black.  The entire truck, bed, body and engine bay were painted white. The truck has a clean Virginia title with no liens, but due to Ebay listing guidelines, this truck is listed as salvage.

Now lets get to the best part, The 2L Turbo diesel motor.  First off you will have something that almost no one else has and it is an attention getter. When you start this truck up with the deep exhaust and the unmistakable sound of a Turbo whine it will get the attention of any one that knows diesels.  It has enough power to run the highways at speed limits with out any concerns and gets good gas mileage doing it.  The turbo is brand new and the motor has less than 90,000 miles.  The glow plugs are new.  There is no air conditioning installed.  The truck is wired for AC but not installed.  The AC components are included with the truck and will be provided to the winning bidder. This motor, transmission, diesel tank and parts and accessories were imported from Japan.  The seller still has pictures of the half cut and pictures of the original instrument cluster that the motor came out of and may have the original Japan Hilux owners manual.
