ok i got a 89 toyota xcab it runs great but i just got this deal on a rolled over 2004 tundra xcab the frame and motor are perfect it still runs even with the roof smashed into the drivers seat so here what im thinking. taking the bed, cab, and hood and fenders all off basically just having a rolling frame and motor and taking my 89 bed cab and i got a 1 piece front end with 5 inch flares got the same on the bed fenders. i did some measuring and it looks like it will work perfect cause the tundras frame is wider but almost exactly the same lenth so a 89 cab, bed, and front end on a tundra frame with the v8 iforce would be the ˟˟˟˟˟ doesnt that sound like the ultimate off road truck, any info will be much appreciated. thanks guys

 

Your going to have to fab up body mounts or cut and move all the brakets off your old frame onto the new one.

Check the firewall for clearance, and the tub.

Sounds like it should work with a little cutting, grinding, and welding.

 

Yeah, like 4hummer said, You will have a lot of fabricating to do. Good luck and post pics of this. I for one would love to see the build up.

Welcome to YT

 

yeah i know i will have to fab some stuff its not a problem at all im just worried about things like the throttle bosy cause its electrically controlled so that mean no throttle cable so im gonna have to change it with a 2002 but it should be a perfect off road truck cause of the width and low pro "not top heavy" plus all that power with a way lighter body it should make it so nice anything else u guys can think of that i might run into to be a problem please just let me know. im gonna need all the help i can on this one lol plus im trying to keep the a/c also so my works cut out for me

 

The throttle won't be a problem because you are going to have to take the entire wiring harness from the Tundra and you just take the throttle pedal assembly too.

 

Just take youre time and do it right the first time. That isnt a project that happens overnight. Start a new thread in the fab shop area and begin the build up with pics and feel free to ask questions. Although this is something that hasnt been done ( to my knowledge) i'm sure there are plenty of folks on here that are willing to help.
