I had the same problem. When I removed my front fenders and bed the inside part of light literally fell apart in my hands when I touched it. All that was left was the lens cover on all 4 of them. You can but them off ebay or Rock Auto. Think AutoZone might be able to order them as well.

Truck bling:
KC lightcovers on.
truck shift knob
cool front plate
gathering mounting hardware for old bugshield. That's an adventure in itself. It's got to fit perfectly or it'll blow off.
pix coming soon.
Hopefully me and wife gonna take it out this weekend, sunroof out, and just ride around awhile.

That's the original key and lot sticker I drove her off the lot with. lol.
Next up is exhaust this Thursday. I know she'll get more umph after that. Compression.
And I'm working on parking brake parts. Much better than the stick of wood I carry in the bed.

I have struck a deal with a forum member over a bezel....
appears to be EXACTLY what I need.
Excited to get it and get my dash back.
Will post pix when I get it.
Thanks bud.
This is a good place to meet folks with similar yotaweirdness.

I had to retire my original key a couple of weeks ago... It was so thin I could bend it with my jedi mind powers.....

Warms my heart to see your truck back to life.

Not sure what this setup is called, but I need it. The black part is absolutely broken, but the blue vent I can make work.
What is that black part even called?
Been driving her some, mostly on Sundays. Get lots of looks. One guy hollared at me out his window at the redlight and said 'WHAT YEAR?' LOL.
It is a head turner.
Still lots to do.
Having fun with it though.

Congrats on getting her back on the road. For some reason I can't see any of the pics on my phone. So that sucks, no yota porn. It will prolly be a long time before either of my Toys are on the road, so living thru u. Keep on truckin.

I don't remember mine coming apart like that. If I recall that should be part of the heater box??? Maybe a 2 part epoxy to put it back together?

Hey yotantn, had a quick question. Recently scored an '83 dash I've been wanting since I found it a year ago. Really dirty but otherwise in good shape and I think all there with minor cracks in dash and original Toy radio. Havnt looked at my hacked up trucks dash in awhile and was wondering on the lower left of dash as your looking at it, what that control is for ? Left of steering column. The dash I just picked up didn't have a knob on and I'm trying to figure out how to get it out of dash. Took the whole dash apart to clean and paint, that's the last piece to get out. Interior light control is what I'm thinking. Any idea how that comes out ? I see there is 2 holes on front side, thinking that just turns out. Sorry not such a quick ?. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

That's a light dimmer and good freaking luck on getting it out.
I took mine out to be painted and that's the only thing I had to tape up for painting. I never did get it out.
Taking that dash in and out was not as easy as said to be. Lol.
But mines back in, new dash pad, just waiting on the bezel and radio from another member here. Should be here this week.

Thanks, will b a while before I try and piece together the dash and interior of my '83. Just wanted to clean and paint it up and fix small dash cracks for if and when I can install it. Good job on getting dash back together. Are you going to install a Toyota radio ?
