Ive got a 84 PU and it just got pulled over and taken off the road for a rusted frame...this summer im going to get it fixed and back on the road...the engine is leaking/burning a little oil...It has a new box, 33's, lift and getting new paint...I was planning on putting a chevy 4.3L into it this summer as well and just drive it....

But im going to sell my other car and I want to either beef up my 84 or fix it to sell it and buy a newer 4runner or pickup...I will have around 7-8 grand to spend on a vehicle or 3-4 grand to fix my 84 up... I was thinking of getting maybe a 88-89 runner or a pickup(ext cab)....but im really not sure...i want something that has a big lift, big tires, V6, and in good cond.....or possibly i would get a 4cyl and put a 302...

does anyone know if a 4runner could be converted into propane?

Just wanted to get some opinions on what my next venture should be...

 

I would guess that the easiest 4Runner to convert to propane would be an '84. It is the only year 4Runner that had a carburetor. While I imagine EFI can be converted, I would imagine carb is easier/cheaper.

 

Why don't you just come down here (El Paso) or AZ and just get another 84 and transfer your goodies.

I notice a 79-82 just the other day that I have to go check out.

 

If you're wanting to do a big lift and plan on using the Runner off-road a lot, you're going to want to get and 85 or older, becasue they have the solid front axles. This is just my opinion.
