    Hello All,

    It's been a while since I've been on the site. Update.. I moved from California to Texas for a few years then to Chicago over the past several years. I haven't used my 84 and 86 for a while, but starting up again.. I was wondering if anyone has any article or information regarding the decoding of our pick up trucks? Your help is greatly appreciated. I've looked on some online decoders, but not much information comes back.

    Daniel

    There really aint much to decode from the VIN. Toyota didnt keep as good a record as GM.

    If you’re looking for information such as drivetrain components or paint codes, there should be a factory label under the hood that will provide that. Your federal emissions label will also have some information attached.
