you guys think a 1990 RRC will tow my 85 Toyota truck? flat tow, not trailer.

Sure.

I would swap out the rear springs for something heavier though stock is way light.

A 1990 RR will have a BOGE self leveling unit, might be worthwhile to see if it still functions. You won't NEED it with HD rear springs but it will help.

Finally check to see that it has sway bars. Again can do without with HD springs but nice and some (very few) 1990s came without them.
