well, i found a guy out here parting out a 83 and a 79, i am gonna grab all the body panels and doors from the 83, then i am gonna grab the gril, headlighs, bezals/doors for my truck so i can have round headlights , he wants 250 for all of it or 300 for the whole truck, HMMMMM

 

Nice find. All you need to do for the round headlights is maybe a little drilling, some threaded inserts, and change the plug that goes to the side lights on the headlight bezels and you're all set.

There are holes that line up for the headlight brackets, but they aren't threaded like the 4 that work for your square headlights are.

 

Go for the whole truck, then you won't kick yourself when you are missing the small little things


And round headlights FTW!

 

well i am trading my 85 parts truck for the 83, i went to look at it today and WOW, the interior is MINT, it has a sliding rear window, has a sunroof has a custom built frame, has no diffs but everything that i need is all there so i think that i have to swap everything over lmao

 

Mint interior makes it totally worth it almost by itself. Nice work.

 

ya, like the dash has ZERO cracks, still has the factory radio and everything...........how hard would it be to put the sun roof into my cab with no sunroof? so ya, i am swapping my cab onto the custom frame and the parts truck interior into my cab gonna put the windshield from parts truck in my truck same with the rear slider and sunroof and my rebuilt diffs on the new frame, this thing is gonna be one of the best looking toyotas in manitoba, well that dont have a box at least

 

No idea on the sunroof. That's a big hole to cut in your ceiling, but obviously you aren't afraid of cutting a truck up!

 

wellllll, like fenders and stuff, i could never, NEVER bring my self to do it, and i hate it, but i am a little skeptikal of cutting the hole in the roof, maybe i will cut he whole top off and weld it onto mine lmao

 

Yeah, scary stuff.

The nice dash will be great. I've got a dash that I put a couple little cracks in on install, but was mint otherwise, and other nice interior peices. Obviously I want to do a little body work, too, but aside from obviously a part of me wanting it to look good to other people as I drive by, I spend more time in it seeing it than outside of it seeing it, so I really really like having a nice interior.



Not done yet and actually that photo isn't completely up to date, but it gives you an idea. Not great, but sure not bad for 26 years old.

 

yupp, soon as i get it i will post some pics, but like there is nothing wrong with the interior at all, and it only has 235k on it as opposed to mine having 409k and i am loving the professionally built frame, and this one wont rust from the inside as there is no way of anything getting on the inside, its 1/4 inch thick rectangle tubing and theres no holes in it

 

get the whole truck..you never know..

409K on your truck that is frigging awesome!

 

LOL ya, the big 409k and still keeps on going
