ok u guys need to read this help

ok i got a 89 toyota xcab it runs great but i just got this deal on a rolled over 2004 tundra xcab the frame and motor are perfect it still runs even with the roof smashed into the drivers seat so here what im thinking. taking the bed, cab, and hood and fenders all off basically just having a rolling frame and motor and taking my 89 bed cab and i got a 1 piece front end with 5 inch flares got the same on the bed fenders. i did some measuring and it looks like it will work perfect cause the tundras frame is wider but almost exactly the same lenth so a 89 cab, bed, and front end on a tundra frame with the v8 iforce would be the ˟˟˟˟˟ doesnt that sound like the ultimate off road truck, any info will be much appreciated. thanks guys

Your going to have to fab up body mounts or cut and move all the brakets off your old frame onto the new one.

Check the firewall for clearance, and the tub.

Sounds like it should work with a little cutting, grinding, and welding.

The throttle won't be a problem because you are going to have to take the entire wiring harness from the Tundra and you just take the throttle pedal assembly too.

Just take youre time and do it right the first time. That isnt a project that happens overnight. Start a new thread in the fab shop area and begin the build up with pics and feel free to ask questions. Although this is something that hasnt been done ( to my knowledge) i'm sure there are plenty of folks on here that are willing to help.
