Talking '82 yota long bed, 5 speed conversion

Hey everyone.. my name is Mark and Im the owner of Artistic Auto Works. I specialize in a bit of everything, but the money seems to be in upholstery right now. Anywho, I am building an '82 long bed P/U. So far I have swapped the 4 speed with a 5 speed from an '84 Celica GT.. with minor mods to the mount.. made some quicky door panels, rebuilt the carb, replaced the windshield.. stepped back and decided to drag my parts truck out of the weeds. My frame was too far gone, so i swapped it with the parts truck frame. Along with the fenders and bed, all of which are in waaay better shape. I then swapped the clutch master cylinder with one from a '93 Taco, new shocks, brakes all around, headlights, tail lights, suede headliner, custom shift knob, custom wiper switch, new fuel pump and lines, new brake lines, battery, starter, hand made bumpers, tinted windows, wipers..and a few more things.. anyways. Im planning a 1jz drift truck build for the long run.. but for now, I just want it to be a good driver until i have the time to build the tubular chassis. Welp.. I'll have a ton of pics up soon for you guys.. oh crap.. i forgot to comment on your ride! Dude, sick truck.. I feel like a douche
