Bought this 93 pickup for $500. one leaf springs broke. got some rust spots go figure frames not bad. but i was cleaning the back of the frame up and was gonna rubber undercoat it but read thats a bad idea..? i already did one side..haha so i just primed the other side for now.. if you prime it then spray rubber under coating on can it be so bad? This will just be for this winter if i like the truck ill take the bed off next year and do it all right.. Also wheres a good site for u bolts and stuff? and i need the rubber trim for the rear slider..
Thanks.


Broked leaf spring.


Got all the rust spots ground down and primed.


Only hole in the whole body and its in the bed go figure ha

 

looks good!

 

yeah not bad. if i like it this winter ill take the bed off and do the frame right next year and paint the whole truck

 

Nice truck, not sure where you are in NH but I got a pair of u-bolts made from this company.
Mcleod's Spring & Chassis in Barre, VT 05641 - (802) 476-4971
Had good service and quick shipping, gave them the measurements and had the parts in 2 days. They can help you with that spring too!

 

Alright thanks I live in sullivan, nh by keene. i got new leafs from a junkyard tho just need all new hardware

 

Frame primed up.


Then undercoated. for this year, gonna have the truck oiled before winter. see how i like the truck this winter and how it runs if it goes good and i like it ill do it all right next year take the bed off and do the whole frame.

 

Undercoated fender walls, front and back.

This is what those stupid plastic things on the bottom of the fenders where covering up. drivers side a lot worse then the passenger side..

 

Hey! Thats what my '93 single cab looked like .... minus the rust and dents

 

Haha yeah the one rear fenders pretty bad. im gonna run it this winter and maybe re do it all next year

 

Herd an odd clunking or rattleing whatever you wanna call it when i moved it once today. only went when i would give it gas tho.. Timing chain? was planing on replacing that and serpintine belt once i get it all road ready. did plugs wires oil change and filter and air filter the other day. prob do disturber cap and rotor too

 

Hey neighbor-I'm not too far from you (Fitzy). Shoot me a PM if you need a hand. I'm compiling quite a junkyard down here, and we probably know each other already.

 

Alright will do..

Paint matches good enough, for this year..

 

Maybe this should be in the "build" forums... Not really a build tho but i guess kinda..

But got the front section of frame and swing arms cleaned up and primed.


Got it painted and undercoated now

 

Did you go to Bobby Barnes up on 142 in right before the VT line? It's a little bit of a haul from Keene, but the guy is a riot and has acres of nothing but Toyotas.

 

great project for cheap

 

No ive never herd of it have to check it out next year. im just getting it ready for the winter then will see what happens next year

 

Yeah will see how it runs this winter then i might redo it good next year paint it and all takke the bed off find some new side panels

 

Any suggestion of what i can do to keep the engine alive longer.. Did plugs wires air filter changed oil and filter when i got it all the normal stuff. wanna do serpinetine belt and timming chain too.
