1973 Toyota Hilux Chinook 4x4 LS Swap

Location: Orlando, FL

Why It’s Curated: This 1973 Toyota Hilux Chinook 4×4 LS Swap is for sale in Orlando, FL. This is a first year Chinook that was originally 2WD, the seller converted it to 4WD with an LS swap. We love old Toyota Pickups, pickup campers with cockpit pass throughs and 70s campers. This is all three! This is probably the peak of Chinook mechanical specs, see all the details below. However, it could use some cosmetic TLC, see all 69 images in the gallery below. If you care more about ability than cosmetics or you just want a super cool and unique truck to work on yourself, this could be exactly what you’re looking for. No doubt it will be a while before you see another one. Please let us know if you have any questions about this truck.
