Well I guess its time...
Here is my truck stock, playing around in my friends back yard:



on rip down...


One of 2 breaks in the frame


new frame from an 85 runner


And back together, 4" pro comp, heavy shackes, 4:37 diffs were the major mods on it, but lots of new parts as well.




To follow will be dual transfere cases, Taco lockers(rear to start), wider axle in the rear and spacers in the front, and bigger rubber.

How did you find a frame in such incredible shape?

 

I just figured he found a good frame that wasnt rusted out then wire wheeled and painted it.

 

absolutly .. there are no frames up here that look like that with out work .

good job .. keep the pics commin'

 

How common are 4.37s?

 

the frame was off a runner that was parted out in the mid 90's, shifted hands a couple of times before I picked it up. Had it sand blasted then painted it. There was a slight rust patch on the driver side rear right over the tire, I cut it out and welded a 1/8" plate over it.

the 4:37's aren't that common, my friend had them in his 83 but pulled them to drop in 5:29 so I got them super cheap.

Tomorrow I start welding up my rear deck.
