What to do!

Ill start by saying hello everyone! New here anyways.. I'm not sure if this post belongs here or if anyone can help with decision making but I'm in a pickle on what to do.
vehicle one. 1983 hilux 2.4 22r stroked to 2.7 with weber 32/36 and some type of header on it.Arb front locker with long field chromoly axles, spooled real and 5.29 gears with 4 inch suspension lift on 35x14.5 r15's.
vehicle two. 2001 tacoma prerunner 3rz with tow package.
vehicle 3. Just purchased complete donor 4runner 5vze for powertrain.

I am kinda at a loss with I would like to put the 5vze in... the 83 which doesn't have much for floor boards and a fish plated frame or should I sas the prerunner( which is in very good shape, frame and body hardly have a spect of rust) with parts from the 83?
I have 3 full vehicle and just can't decide what I would like to do hopefully you more experienced builders can lead me in the right direction! Thanks everyone, cheers for now

I had to quote your post just to be able to read it. I'm guessing you accidentally switched the font color to almost black. This thread would be best placed in the general "Pre 84 Trucks" and perhaps a mod will move it there for you.

As for your question, do all three vehicles run and drive? If yes, then why in the world would you take them apart to combine them into a single vehicle? If no, then probably use that one for parts to improve the other two but even then I'd be more inclined to fix and have three separate running vehicles.
Sell one or two of them. The 83 sounds like a haus and considering what forum you're in, we're all going to say just clean it up and use it to it's full potential. Never let it die and never Frankenstein it into something else.
With that said, that 3RZ would be an awesome power transplant. The 5vze would work great too but the 3RZ would almost fall in where the 22R is already sitting by comparison.

Thanks for the reply, yes they are three running driving vehicles. But I also have two other vehicles.. the wife's daily and a road trip vehicle. I would really just love to have a regular cab 4x4 toyota with a 5vz in it... I can't find one anywhere so I figured I'm gonna have to build it

Welcome to Yotatech!!
I have a reliable 1998 4Runner w/5vz, not disappointed at all. Perhaps using the search function could lead you to a plethora of info? Don't forget to start a build thread w/pixs!!
