THK's 1987 Xtra Cab Long Bed Build
This is my current Build and its going to take a while to finish.
Projects have come up around the house and I am in need of a tough and capable work truck and I would like to use it as my DD and Wheeler.
I have traded my supra project for this truck, as it will cost the same to fix and I will enjoy the outcome much more.
The supra needed MAJOR work and im just not familiar with them.
So I traded it for a 1987 Toyota Xtra Cab Long Bed 2wd.
My buddy started the process of making it a mudder several years ago and gutted it to a body and frame.
He welded on a bunch of temp mounts to see what height he wanted with 44" boggers and got there and stoppped.
It is sitting on a Pass Drop Dana 44 front and a Corp 14 Bolt rear and 54In springs on all 4 corners.
It is only sittin like this til I get it to my buddys shop ( SpinneyBent )
I have Toy 51s for RUF and a set of 54in Chevys and I have all the permanent mounts in a box as well to make it legit.
When I traded my car for it I got an 85 front complete, i put a taco disc conv on it with IFS hubs, and highsteer.
I had a matching IFS rear with taco disc. I sold the front for $450 and I have the rear still up for sale.
I bought a 78 Ford 3/4ton D44 HP Front for $200 and what my buddy was told was a 79 D60 FF Rear.
Well come to find out with decoding the housing and tag... its a D61 (so its for sale)
I am looking for a D60 or 14B.
I am going run a 4.3L SCPI or 5.7L TBI, 700r4 or 4L80e, Dana 300, Ford NP205 or GM NP241, 37s+
I dont know how long its going to take.... but hopefully by spring/summer.
Ill update as i go.
