Well its time to start my build thread. I have been looking around here and I like what i see. So here it my 79 long box.

When i first got her she had a flat bad on it.



I'm not a huge fan of flat bed so i got myself a normal bed for it.

So like any old toyota my stock carb took a poopy on me. I bought a weber 32/36 best 245 bux ever spent.
After installing the weber ran like a dream.

 

always nice to have another local, PNW 1st gen truck owner. Welcome to YT
what wheels are you running? I kind of like the narrow approach.

 

They are just some wagon style steels wheels. There a 15x7 and tires are 33/12/15.

 

Well i've done a bit of work to the truck in the last few days.
SR5 Gauge Cluster
New Shocks
Starting to build my tube bumper




Yes are the shock are a bit long. But i will be lifting it more this winter.

 

Haven't been doing much lately. I did happen to score a set of hella E-code headlights for FREE.

Never Buy cheap Ebay "projector" headlights. They are a joke. you can tell from the pic they only allow about 3/4 of the light.

woo springfield finally some one on here close to me dude im from creswell

 

is it 20r ? stock .... built .... gears?

 

Looks good

 

yes it is a 20R only thing it has is a header and weber. I'm building a 20/22r hybride. Waiting to order my LC cam gear. I was told the truck Has 4.88 when i bought. But with a four speed Im always running up in the RPM rang.

 

well if you want to go wheelin im down for it all my spots went to crap

 

The only trail the we really can go in is jeep trail up shoot gun. its kinda lame. But blue river is open....

 

whats up blue river? there isnt any trails up shotty any more?

 

You can wheel in the dam. they open in the winter for wheeling cause there something in the lake there are trying to kill.

 

no way dude when do they open it only thing im thinkin though is not much to winch to ina dam

 

That's why you never go alone. Nobody i wheels with has a winch. The dam is open now. I'm sure there is snow now

 

Here a few pics form the last wheeling trip.

 

ya i know usually dont figured theres prnbally snow up there its hard to find ppl to wheel all my friends are still building there rigs and will be literally forever for them to be done are those pics up shotgun ? if you hear wind of a lil escapade your going on let me know would love to join

 

Have done a lot lately but i did lifted the truck more.

Two IFS pack with boomerang shackles.

 

Well bought myself some new tires on Saturday. I got myself some 35x12.50x15 maxxis bighorns. I could pass up they deal. i love brand new tires.

 

Best mod I have done so far is the Gm one wire mod. Very easy to do.

Here a little write up on it.

My regulator went bad so this is why I went this route. The cheapest I could find a VG was 65.00 big ones so i spent and extra 10 bux and went this route.

First I stated by removing the old Voltage regulator. Don't need it anymore.

I didn't want to spend $43 on a Gm one wire bracket from trail gear so i mad my own. I didn't take and pics of the lower bracket i made. I use the Stock upper bracket. Just had to extend it about 3 inches.

I used the stock size belt too.

Then you run a wire from the power post on the alt to the power side of your battery. I used 10 gauge wire.

By rollz87 at 2012-02-23

make sure you run the Fat white wire,red/blue.red/black wires back to the terminal they are the power to the fuse box.
