Was building a few parts tonight, trying to get some out for destructive testing and feedback.
I'm only 6 hours from Portland, OR. Road trip!

 

awesome truck R.DesJardin!!!!!

 

I saw that you took off the camper shell...would you be interested in selling it!??

lmk!

 

R.DesJardin are you near Walla Walla?

 

Some really nice looking trucks, ill post some before/after photos of my 75 sr5 2wd 22/20r hybrid when it gets brighter out tommorrow

 

Might have to swing by sometime, have a cousin in spoken and some more family up in Montana so I am through eastern WA a couple of times a year.

I just need to clear out my garage so I can swap transmissions, again

 

Sorry having trouble uploading from photobucket

 

She aint pretty but i only paid $500 for her and she runs great! I would like to get a weber carb for it some time in the future though. Just looking at all of those stock vacuum lines makes my head hurt!

 

I replaced every seal on the driveline- transfer seals, rear pinion shaft seal. No more leaks
A few from last week in the Trinitys...

 

Toyo I am speechless, and Verklempt.

 

She's come a long way since I first started this thread!!

How my 79 is currently sitting



In the process of making my new rear hangers for 57" Fords, getting the useless crap off the frame (shock towers, torque rod mount, rear x-member, bumpstops, horsecollar, etc.)

long way to go on the 4th build of this truck

 

Just bought this...waiting for delievery some time next week....

 

Yup, it's a blue terd.

 

nice what size tires is that???

 

Here's my 79 yota, not bad for 200 bucks!

 

It seems pretty difficult to find info on the 79... I'm workin on it though.

 

My blue 1983 has 38 inch swampers on it in the picture. I have stepped down to 35 inch mud terrains now though.

 

I'm in love, an uncut stocker with stock steel wheels..awesome!

info?

 

NM on the info, I looked it up.

Yep fully stock and uncut, came with one of the original keys, orig owners manual, still has the original dealer stickers on the side and the tailgate! It has the fewer number VIN or ID and I was wondering if the last numbers 00xxxx are the number of the truck for that year??

I got some un cut front fenders to replace the ones on there now. I removed all the surface rust from the new fenders and primered the outside and Hurculined the underside. I also got some replacement doors in better shape with working lock mechanisms. I'll post some pics of the truck once it has its new tins installed.
