Yota's (especially the trucks) have this tick from day one. Both pickups that I've been through had it. I have always called it the toyota tick since every truck pre 96' has it. It's much more noticeable in the cooler mornings as the valves are dry. It always quiets down once the oil reaches them and warms up, but it's still noticeable at idle anytime.
I've never had it get worse and it's never appeared to cause a problem. My first truck made it to 250k under my care and according to car fax, is still out there with closer to 340k now. My current yota (94' pickup DX) has 180k, has the tick and runs like a bear with daily constant abuse.
I'd say that unless the truck starts running poorly, don't sweat it. Though there is nothing wrong with having it looked at if it bothers you.
