yota's and mr. ben cool's 81 pickup build
#21
It's all good, Corey should definitely have it for the betterment of everybody. I'll be fabricating a relatively mild stock-looking bumper to hold me over until I get something else. But it should be noted that I did ask first! haha!

don't mean to hi-jack ..
if your drivin this far , you'd better stop in my shop !!
and then maybe I'll sell you a FRP cab ! We now have a confirmed deposit , so the cab build is going forward . (soon as I find time)
hmm , I believe my post was first ? .. unless you PM'd him ? and then that's just cheating

cool .. I wont wreck it or anything .. I do need to know if it is in excellent condition though ?
can you email me cj@toyotafiberglass.com , and I can make some arrangements to drive there to get it

so the deal on the 87 4runner looks like a go, so we will have a frame and wheels and t-case and rear axle for the build. relatively good start. i thought it was sas but we'll just have to make due with the ifs for now.

so ben traded some 240 struts for this 82/83 from some kid and piddled around with some wiring then took it to the woods lol i took a video but the phone died and i was left with this cover picture and one selfie lol but anyways, it was a good day, (not so pro's) theres no brakes other than the front passenger locks up nicely lol. the leafs are all shot the shocks are rusted through the cab mounts are blown apart the tailights are nailed to a janky 2x6 flatdeck the interior is mangled full of screw holes in the dash and the wood panel around the tape deck was ripped in half and jammed into place. (nailed it) open diffs, rough, unbalanced front drive shaft. shiddy starter
drivers door is barely attached and sooooo bent

pro's!!! (the short list)
IT STARTED!!! thats 2 of 5 of our yota's that move.
the 4x4 works, its rough, needs new diff oil. / everything.
frame is okay, (it never got cut in half so thats a start)
has the sr5 oil / temp gauges
clutch is good
shifts well
has the sweet grill
... thats about it.
so we have the blue cab with intact interior and dash and ben has a motor him and his dad had planned to put together but never got the chance too
and has had a 1uz sitting on a tire in his carport since the winter.
anyways time for work
it was a fun first rip

Today we started taking blue apart . body mounts and fenders broke half of them
. Doors and dash are next. It started to rain so no pics bens worked on the donor a bit. Put on the bfg 35s looks a lot netter already

ben did some playing around with the the 83



He did some more since these pics, and we got a driver door for it, he worked out some kinks in the drivers fender and sanded it down to bare and primer'd it. (going for tan like robs trekker)
