For wheeling purposes I would bring it down out of the stratoshere. I can tellyou right now that rear spring set up will give you little to no travel.

I think its pretty cool. Those axles in the 83 are the strongest axles toyota ever had in their little trucks

wow, its a show truck for sure. but i don't see why they have a 2nd gen bed behind a 1st gen cab. oh well, clean her up and she'll be a show truck again.

better pics would be nice .. but looks like a great find .. love the flip front.

I also see some ears welded on that front diff .. looks like it was "linked" at one time .. or maybe a used axle ?

No 84-85 are are stronger due to the length of the factory truss.

Interesting approach, rear pinion angle needs some work, gonna eat that u joint.
2nd gen bed is kind of funny on the truck.

Please rotate some of your pics 90 degrees Truck looks like a fun base to start with
