Ok guys, I have a question. I just put a 4runner body on a k-5 frame. So is it a blazer or a 4runner? Or how i like to call it a K-5Runner

 

its a blazer not a TOYOTA this is the wrong site

 

It's an abomination to a Toyota.

:wabbit2:

 

well the body counts for something... but the K-5runner is kinda rough to say. Just call it the 5runner! also, pics!

 

x2!!!

 

for once i DONT want to see pics...sad panda.

 

OK will do. But the pics are of my 88 yota pickup body on the frame. I havent uploaded the pics of the 4runner body on it yet becasue i dont dont have my camera..

 

(someday soon hopefully...)

 

I've heard of people trying to make blazers look like offroaders. Never heard of one trying to look reliable....

 

^hahahaha - that's a good one!

i could kinda understand what the OP was thinking with this one, because when I went out and bought my old '83 K5 diesel years ago, I regretted it afterward and wondered why the heck I bought this POS instead of a 1st gen 4runner - looks like he found a solution...kinda...not really........eww.

 

Olds diesel, sorry but you had it coming, no sympathy from me! As for the gasser job, it's a SBC, which is still being built today in iterations for a good reason.

Seriously though, what's with all the K5 hate here? Open topped wheeling well before, about 10 years before, the Trekker even. I think the only one that has it beat for that is the Jeep. SBC, Turbo350/400 trans I'd imagine, and solid axles, sounds like a pretty good recipe to me. Sorry but I love these things, especially when they're mint and stock like this one:

so what year of 4runner did u drop on the k5 frame and what year is the k5 frame. also what size engine are u running. I think u could call your rig a chevota. since it is toyota and chevy. ive seen people drop chevy eng. in yotas but not yota body on a chevy frame. sounds bad ass i have a78 k5, body is destroyed but still runs. was it very hard to do this?
