I have a 1979 Toyota truck RV. So, cab & chassis with a camper built upon it.
It has the original "foolie" rear end, and I'd like to figure out what gear ratio that original rear end had. We have a full-float upgrade and want to ensure we don't lose performance post-surgery (the full-float dually is 4.10:1).

The single-page cab/chassis sheet in the archive refers to a Toyota Cab/Chassis body builders guide, but I don't have it and couldn't find a copy after searching for a few minutes. Hopefully someone will see this and chime in with the answer. Good luck!

Were these trucks ever sold with any factory (or just sold with from dealership) camper toppers? Would be interested to see some archives of all the camper toppers that came with the trucks in the 80's.

As far as I know there was no OEM-authorized camper. I think that each dealer would have offered different choices. I would also love to see a gallery of different campers!

Any information about moon roofs on a 1979 pickup standard longbed?

I don't see anything in Toyota's literature that shows a moonroof option. I would assume that any moonroof installed in 1979 is probably aftermarket.
