As for customers not standing for the vehicle today, there are plenty of people still driving these trucks. Looking at the local Craigslist, I see a dozen '85-90 ones for sale, asking prices ranging from $2K-$8K. And I occasionally get people asking if I want to sell mine...
So it's not that there's not a market for this sort of truck, it's that (just as with small cars) the manufacturers don't want to build them.

Manufacturers don't build used cars though. The point is that new car buyers won't stand for a "new" '88 Toyota and associated price tag.
Only new vehicles are relevant to the discussion as they will become tomorrow's used vehicles.
