1991 toyota pickup build



So I picked this 91 toyota up in Utah with a bad head gasket. It also has terrible bed rust and the rear leaf springs are totally broken. I fixed the head gasket last year at Christmas, then had holes in my gas lines so I fixed those as well as put a new fuel pump in since I was there. Now I'm in the process of replacing the leaf springs with some off of a newer Oldsmobile Bravada. Using those springs because they are a bit longer and will ride better without sacrificing any towing ability. I'm using the original brackets just chopping them and rotating them which gives about a 2 inch lift. I plan to finish the springs and then make a custom flat bed for it as well.



There's the broken leaf spring








Original mount bracket for leaf





Custom made mount to fit longer springs.





You can see the driver's side is lifted nearly 2 inches with the new spring
