great project. your work always looks good! :)

well thanks bro !! :drink:

The last pic, your pedals look a little funky...

no brake booster .. so the brake pedal is just swinging there .

Ah, figured somehting like that was going on.

It'll be a glorious day when you can turn that key. Projected date?

Yes it will :)

project completion ? I have NO idea .. i'm just working on it in my spare time .. I have been neglecting other stuff , so I actually need to kick it out of the shop for a bit ..

but I did get a little more done on the tranny tunnel .

It MUST be removable , because of the frame design . If ever I need to remove the tranny , it will have to come out from the top .

so .


here is the cab tunel frame .

so right now i'm in the midst of making 8 bracket mounts ...

so I can get everything "tacked" into place .. so I can measure for the leavers . I now have the links made , that fit the original lower strut mounts .

and they fit like so ......

Looks pretty sweet.
I'm not really a fan of modifications of that sort, I would rather leave things stock, however, yours does look pretty cool :)

I love toyota 2wd's. My old 77 and my current 82 are both 2wd's, and are IMO the best trucks ever.

I still have to get "re-organized" on this build .. but it now has an up front dedicated space ..



.

I'm stoked to get this one " happenin' " ..

so today .. a little work "lining up" the cab to build mounts for it ..

this is the first time I have mentioned this .. so bare with me ..

caged front 2" in tube + inner roll cage (2")
3 piece flip front clip , on hydrolics (3" flared fenders custom hood )
3" flared box on hydrolics .. smoothed
suside doors with poppers
full custom fiber dash , w/supra guages +
supra interior w/ full electric seats
smokin' sterio w custom enclosures

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...d/SSPX1253.jpg
