This 1979 Toyota Pickup Deluxe Long Bed, finished in original Toyota Red (Paint Code 336), was manufactured in April 1979 at the Tahara Hino Motors, Ltd plant in Japan (Assembly Code A51). Purchased new on August 3, 1979, from Rock Hill Toyota in Rock Hill, SC, by Bennie B. Mosely Jr., the truck has remained within the same family since day one. With only 20 miles at the time of purchase, ownership passed from the original owner to his son-in-law in 2017. The truck has been garage-kept its entire life, avoiding rain for the past 25 years, and recently enjoyed a highway road trip to Charleston.

Powering this truck is the original 20R 2189cc (133.6 cubic inch) engine, paired with the L43 4-speed manual transmission and enhanced with a Weber 32/34 carburetor. This 4WD model includes a dealer-installed front push bar, Warn 3000lb Electric Winch Model 3000, ASCO front manual hubs, and an upgraded aluminum radiator with electric fans for superior cooling, making it ready for slow rolling off-road ventures. The axle code G102 indicates an 8.0″ rear end with a 3.360:1 gear ratio and 2-pinion setup.

The truck bed is in fantastic shape and has been well preserved by the previous owner. The bed has color matched bedliner on the top and bottom. The owner removed the truck bed, coated the frame, and the undercarriage of the truck bed. This was genius level intuition to preserve this truck for decades to come.

The exterior retains its cream white 15×5.5 steel wheels with rare factory chrome center caps, fitted with 30×9.50R15 BFGoodrich All Terrain tires. Additional features include a Toyota Genuine CB radio with a still-packaged antenna, a rear sliding window, and the original spare tire mounted underneath.

Inside, the beige vinyl (Trim Code KC41) and plaid cloth seating is well-preserved. The dash includes a factory AM/FM radio, Toyota Genuine CB radio, and transfer case instructions with woodgrain trim accents. Upgrades include a Bosch aftermarket temperature gauge, and a Yazaki amp and oil pressure gauges mounted in the lower center dash. Original manuals, such as the 1979 Toyota Owner’s Guide and Warn winch manual, accompany the truck.

This truck recently underwent extensive servicing at Car Cave USA, totaling nearly $11,000. The comprehensive work included a suspension and steering overhaul with new Bilstein 4600 shocks, rebuilt front hubs, Moog tie rods, energy suspension bushings, and an Old Man Emu steering damper. The engine received new gaskets for the timing cover, oil pan, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, water pump, starter, thermostat, and valve cover gasket. The clutch system was refreshed with a new master and slave cylinder. The brake system was updated with new drums, wheel cylinders, and shoes, and the aftermarket Weber 32/34 carburetor was rebuilt for smooth performance. Contact us to review the complete service ticket as the list is not comprehensive.

With its rich history, array of rare original components, and recent meticulous maintenance, this 1979 Toyota Pickup Deluxe (Model Code RN47L-KDA) is an ideal choice for collectors or enthusiasts. Embodying the Hilux legacy of “high” and “luxury,” this long bed offers an exceptional blend of originality, heritage, and capability.
