1952 Series 1 80"
Good condition. No rot in frame or bulkhead. A bit of surface rust here and there. Was used mostly in Trout Lake, BC to explore the mountains. All there. PM me for more info. I'll try to post a few pics.

I love the all natural organic noise deadener growing on the roof.

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
Ah, reminds me of how I found my '52 80", long ago. Front fenders even mounted almost the same way. :D
If whoever gets it needs small parts, transmissions, manuals, etc., drop me a line.

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
3000ish. Very solid for the year. Doesn't have a wiring harness because I was in the midst of taking it apart to convert it to Toyota drivetrain. I stopped because it was going to be too involved. Plus, it is great shape and mostly original and it would be a shame to wreck that. Lots of character. Needs a bit of welding on the front of the frame where it had some plates welded on (kind of looked like hoops to attach a hitch to flat-tow it, but way more sketchy!). The fist weld had better penetration than I thought it did! It has the seats for the back, but not the front. It has the plate for a Capstan, but it wasn't there.

If I don't get any bites, does anyone have a 2.0L they want to trade a 1.6L for?

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
I'm confused. Why do you need a 2L?
For a '52, the engine s/b a 2L Siamese bore with a bypass oil filter on the exhaust side.
In '54 they went to a 2L Spread bore with an oil filter on the intake side.
From your pictures it looks to me that it is a 2L, although it looks like there isn't a vent on the intake rockerbox cover.
What's the serial number on the engine?

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
It is a 1.6L. I read the stamping when I first got it. It is a '51 motor. I should have the Siamese bore engine. This motor does not have an oil filter on it, that's what made me confused in the first place.

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
For '51 in LHD, the serial number should start with 1613 or 1623. A '52 would be 2613.
Both engines had a bypass oil filter under the exhaust manifold. Some owners would just remove it and plug the holes. (Mine was that way when I found it.) However, some of the early 1.6L's also had an oil filter mounted inside the crank case, bolted through a hole on the intake side of the case.
'51 1.6L's & all 2L's, intake rocker box covers, should have a breather at the top front. Earlier 1.6L's didn't have the breather on the intake rocker cover, but I'm not exactly sure when they switched covers.
Also the 1.6 had a cast aluminum oil filler tube bolted to the exhaust, rocker cover plate, whereas the 2L had a steel tube welded to the plate.
A 1949 1.6L: In your engine pic, it looks like someone used some of the 2L parts on the 1.6L.

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
I found the oil filter system you mentioned when I was trying to find the block numbers again. The block is stamped 16135622. I wish I was more familiar with these vehicles because it would be a lot of fun. I also don't want to get into another rebuild. I have rebuilt a samurai (twice, darn rust), built one tracker out of two, and was part way into a Willy's M38A1 when I decided I had had enough. I want to get an old Toyota pick-up and tinker, not rebuild. I have only posted this vehicle on this forum because I don't want it to be ruined with other parts. It just needs a rebuild. Seals, bearing, brakes, etc... I just don't have the time, money, or patience. Somebody out there must want a Series 1 project.

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
Sorry, I was being greedy. The price is $2000ish. I don't like the rising cost of older, cool vehicles and I was trying to contribute to that by having a higher price. I apologise. Two thousand is a better price. Thanks.

Re: 1952 Series 1 80"
Actually, after doing some hard thinking after posting this ad and seeing what else is out there for vehicles to fart around on, I have decided to keep this rig. I got to do a little toodling on it yesterday and after pulling almost all of the front end of my Tacoma, just to check the water pump, I was reminded how simple and enjoyable old vehicles really are. So, it won't be restored, but it will be enjoyed. I apologise to anyone who hoped to get it.
By the way, does anyone have a Series front axle that doesn't need every bearing and seal and brake part?
