i just parted someones project (extra cab on reg cab frame.) it was a mess all i have to do is throw a 4x4 rear end with some decent springs in and sas the front then throw my w56 trans and top shift t-case in. really i hate wires i dont wanna mess with bobbing a bed on both sides and i really like the wheel base of extra cabs. in my eyes a sas bolt a rear end in and swap a trans seems a lot easyer.

i just threw up a little... i really think i may have nightmares...
i would start soaking that engine in degreaser now so when it comes time you just hit it with the pressure washer, it will prolly need new plugs/wires/cap/rotor any way so just blast it down, then hit it with some acid... mmmm i likey a clean engine..

eck just threw up some more...

those are actually the origonal saets! the ugly seat covers saved em, ya thats what she looked like when i got her. money wise i wont spend much i try to stay smart with building stuff. i bught the donor truck for 250 right (including gass) so ill sell the bad 22r for 100 as rebuildable and the trans and t-case for 100, that leaves me at 50 bucks well i already used the blower motor out of the donor sence the turbo trucks was gone (60 dollar part) pluss i get the bed to bob (decent shape) and doors to cut up and make half doors! not including i need the cross member off the donor truck and other little parts here and there si i figure with buying that truck i saved well 150 for a bed, 75 for doors, 20 cross member, 350 on axles ect so ill save around 6-700 bucks using parts (pluss the money for scrapping the frame and cab. i can get a front hanger for around 75 bucks, frame tubes for 8 each and high steer for 200 from a buddy and ill find a decent set of springs for about 200. so if you add that all up i payed 400 for the turbo truck 200 for the donor, just the money i saved with the donor basickly payed for the trucks, i wont be in it much really. see what im sayin lol??

as stated here...

i think you would be better off just buying each piece of the truck and putting it all back together.. jk.. you got your work cut out.

Seems like you got your work cut out for ya, but I can see what your shooting for. Sounds cool, keep the pics coming, happy building!!

so i got my trans and t-case, new clutch, timing chain set, timing chain cover set, rear main seal set and oil pan gasket today!

so when i put the rear axle in i noticed a few things, the stock 2wd u-bolts fit around a 85 rear axle and act as a u-bolt flip kit but the shock mounts are in the wrong spot(im gonna triangulate the rear shocks later when i put lift springs in). and also this might help some people, i screwed both the 2wd and 4wd rear break lines together and made a nice long one.
