Go look in the Want Ads for used trucks and you will find the model name. Be aware that in high salt use regions the beds had a habit of rotting off, and if you can find one that has already had the welding done and a bed upgrade (around here, a pressure-treated wood flat bed is VERY common on late-80s Toys) you are already ahead. And obviously on a vehicle that old, judge the feel of the steering and front end whe you take it for a rip, and if it feels loose, plan to have work done or look for a different truck.
ok so apparently the Hi-lux turns into the 'pickup' which turns into the 'tacoma'
