i had the boy to send me pics of it before i even wasted my time going and looking at it and i noticed the blocks in the rear and i thought that was all the lift was in the rear because the look huge in the pic but i reasure yall they aren't quite that big. i haven't ever measured them but i'd say 3'' block 4at most i aint sure wats the deal with that plate running down there making it look like huge blocks. As for what we paid.....$800 cough cough! really we've been paying him off in payments. We gave him $225 and he handed us the keys and said come get it and then we've been givin him acouple hundred every 2weeks but he's hard to get ahold of and he owes us a rebuild kit, the bill of sale, and the title but we haven't seen any of it. We owe $275, i believe, and i've considered just not finish paying him but that would be wrong and i aint that kinda guy.

it's suppose to have the title but not really worried bout that seeing how it won't be going down the road very far if any at all.

that is one heck of an under taking on a small budget...looks really butchered, my 79 was pretty bad when i first got it, its a never ending project......
my vote would be to beat it into the ground (for the second time by the looks of things) , then make a buggy

ok, i've had a though. with the axles we are suppose to be buying with with 5.71 gear ratio, we need 38 to equal it all out. i dont see that 4banger pullin those tires very well at all even with those low gears. i also dont see the toyota axles handling 38s very well even with upgrades parts. i have a 14bolt doing nothing. i'm considering that for our rear to copensate for our pueny little axles and finding a 3/4ton d44 front. that way 38s wouldnt be a prob for our axles. but now the motor, i can get a 350 cheap but needs head work but than that would bring about having to change alot more stuff and spending alot of money we dont have. so basically wat i need to kno is can upgrades toyota axles and 20r handle 38s????

dont underestimate the little 20R
1st, Low you can go anywhere with any tire
38s are a bit for the 90 horse 20R, if ur goin with fullsize axles and 38s, go with a bigger motor like the 350
flame on yota purists!

yea i thought i was having to sale it because the boy that bought the truck with me is having a boy but it's all good now. to update the truck i've gotten a new gas tank for it, and having carb rebuilt right now, trying to trade or sale tires for skinnier tires.
