The third-generation Toyota Pickup (1978–1983) is the transition truck between the early vintage Hilux era and the modern 22R / 22RE workhorse era. Early 3rd-gen trucks ran the 20R 2.2-liter; the 22R 2.4-liter was introduced for the 1981 model year and became the standard engine for the rest of the generation. The 22RE fuel-injected variant did not arrive until the 4th generation in 1983, so 3rd-gen trucks are predominantly carbureted.
LC Engineering has been supplying performance and restoration parts for the 20R and 22R Pickup since 1985. Our catalog covers complete long blocks, stroker kits, sidedraft and downdraft carburetor conversions (the Weber 32/36 and Weber sidedraft are popular 20R and 22R upgrades), header kits, supercharger and turbo kits, and the OEM-spec rebuild components that keep a 3rd-gen Pickup on the road. The 22R community considers this generation the launch point of the Toyota truck's reputation for reliability — and the parts we build today are the same ones our team has been refining for four decades.
