I dig the stock-ness.

 

Man that looks bad ass may ill get some similar tires for mine for now ill stick with the one i have

 

Thanks I really wanted square lights at first, but the rounds have been growing on me. Your truck looks great!

 

got any specs on this truck?

 

Picked this up for 700 bucks with blown headgasket. Hopefully this works ive never posted images before...

edit: fixed your pic so it was bigger

 

The VP sticker is worth 650 alone.

 

this truck in the pictures was basically a stock truck, minus the smog equipment. I did right before these pics add the 1988 rearend and the 38" swampers plus I pulled some leafs from the rear pack and went a little crazy with the sawzall to make the tires fit with zero lift....as of now I am adding chevy rears, ruf, 5.29's, I just picked up my crossover steering from sky and some new 36" swampers I don't want to put anymore than 2 or 3 inches of lift....oh yes I forgot I am just getting ready to install a flat bed on it hopefully this week on my days off. I am super pumped on this truck and wish I could afford to do it all at once but it will be worth the wait

 

any mores pics of it stock on the 38s like side shots

 

I will look when I get home ok

 

those are really the only side shots I have, if you are wondering about the firewall rubbing, yes it rubbed until I bought a huge hammer I am going to be moving my firewall back about 3" so I will take pics of that process and post them also...

 

Found this today while hunting for parts for my truck. The date from the door jam said Sept 1973. It had Hilux emblems and a 18R-C motor. The guy said he would let it go for $400.

I really like this truck I want to build one like it someday

whats your frame to ground measure?

 

it is rough but that is the sort of thing I need to find and throw the body on my frame..
older than 75 I would not have to worry about emissions...

 

thank you and from the ground to the frame is 24"....I just trussed my other front axle and picked up my cross-over steering from sky so soon I will hook all of that up just waiting for ext brake lines, front u-bolt flip kit, etc etc slowly but surely it's all coming together. I am working on a little flat bed for it also $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Lots of nice trucks here! check this one out, it's my 80 with the original 20r, added header, weber, canon intake, under drive pulley set, heavy duty clutch with 35lb flywheel, lockouts by Homeless. Yes, those are 35" bfg's 'hiding' under her. I've owned the truck for 6 or 7 years, the odometer is broken so I have no idea on the miles - really doesn't matter anyway.

 

lots of nice pics love the 1st gen trucks

 

Looks great, did you paint it yourself?

 

cool truck
looks like you stole my old rims

fixed your pic link too

 

SCToy - the paint looks much better in the picture than in person. A previous owner painted it and I don't think he did any prep work. I touch it up frequently with rattle cans and it has held up incredibly well through the ill-annoy winter road slime.

ocdropzone- thanks for fixing the link for me. The rims are 'rebel racing' They are nice looking but they do wobble a little past 220 mph. Love the avatar, I wish I could jump again but I can't risk breaking another ankle...
