OK i have a 1986 Toyota pickup that came new with no clearcoat that year. Paint is in good shape. What kind of wax would someone recommend. O it is RED paint.

Does it have a lacquer or enamel coat, or is it just bare paint?

You know that is a good question, I know when i put some wax on it the pad is red with paint. The pickup was given to me by my neighbor.

I'm pretty sure no one uses lacquers anymore since they are deathly toxic...

You would work on it the same as you would a car with clear coat, its technicaly no different.
