    If your truck has the stock 20R then it already has a double row timing chain. All 20R have double row timing chains.

    yup!
    single rows came in the later 82-83-84 years in the 22R along with the dreaded plastic guides in order to save cost-this, along with FelPro gasket use in the 3.0's are some of the worst decisions Toyota has made in order to save money or to be more welcome into US markets...
