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.
Trims
- 3/4 Ton
- Base
- Base, Automatic Trans
- Base, Standard Trans
- SR5
Known issues on the 1979 Pickup. No recalls are on federal record for the 1979 Pickup, and no owner complaints are logged for the year. Toyota did issue 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.
