1979 Toyota Pickup Service and Repair Manual

Toyota built the Pickup for 1979 in several distinct forms, and the clearances, torque figures and adjustment sequences that apply to a given truck follow the trim and transmission it left the factory with. The 1979 figures are the ones you work to here, not values carried back from a later revision of the platform.

Engines

• 2.2L inline-four (20R, 134 cu in) — SOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Trims

• 3/4 Ton
• Base
• Base, Automatic Trans
• Base, Standard Trans
• SR5

Known issues on the 1979 Pickup. Toyota issued 7 technical service bulletins against this truck, the revised procedures and field fixes a manufacturer publishes once a model is already in customers' hands.

The Base truck appears with both a standard and an automatic transmission, alongside the SR5 and the 3/4 Ton, so match your truck to the entry above before you start: the adjustment and torque specifications are tied to that split.
