Truck to trailer conversion Project
 

Hi,

Soon I'll be starting to convert an 81 pickup with a camper shell into a trailer. I'll post pics on here and give a basic overview of the process. If anyone wants the cab, interior, engine(not currently running but was running before I touched distributor), or other misc parts please pm me.

Suggestions are welcome too.

Wow, what a project. Let us know what you plan on selling, with pics. Gonna be interesting.

in for updates

Where are you located? Interested in interior parts.

Im in Modesto CA. Im currently looking for a location to do the work.

I'll ship any part i can but at cost of the shipping so ill get a quote first to let you know.

@selzzz What parts are you wanting? i can start pulling parts for you.

Cab is yellow and i cant ship it so local pickup only and also once i remove it if i dont have a buyer im scrapping it.

Engine is a 22r not the re and is an 85 have no idea of the miles on it and needs a rebuild most likely.

any questions pm me.

i will when i offically am parting it out

thanks tho

So I have actually got the vehicle up and running again and now my daily.

I assume it is the whole truck that your are driving..... :hillbill:

I’m glad you were able to find your mind! :great:

Yah even tho it needed $2200 to get it running from a shop as I didn't have time to work on it and get it to pass smog, I absolutely love driving it.

It needed a new carb new master brake cylinder new radiator vacuum lines fixed and some electrical work. Parts were just under $1200, labor $1000.

I am too. But now I need to rebuild the tranny as first gear synchro is out, it is a w52 5speed. I kinda want to upgrade it to a w58 5speed or put in different gear ratios for better towing and climbing capabilities, any suggestions?
