OKay i am totally excited right now I am going to buy a '86 or newer 1st gen runner for $500 engine is bad but this will give me the following for my mods!!

1. wider rear axle
2. ifs steering box
3. a bed for my sons room
4. an extra t-case foe dual shifter
5. $$$ for parting out the rest.

I also bought a warn bumber for $50, 2 rims and 2 39.5 tires for my sons bed and best of all a chrome power tank so i can finally use my rear locker.
Oh and a handle for my tail gate.

Fun ahead for me!!!

 

Your son's bed??

Hey, If you happen to want to sell the "radio bezel" off of your future doner runner, let me know. I'll buy it from ya.
Good luck!

 

Yeah my sons bed is going to be a back half of a 1st gen runner with 39.5 tires and a flame paint job.

If the radio bezel is in good cond. sure you got first dibs.

 

wow you're the coolest dad ever. i wish i had a bed like that.

 

how are you going t omake that so it doesnt tip? and is safe?

 

Well I will cut the runner in half and attach the place where the cab was to the wall and gutt the inside out. Still have the frame, drive shaft, springs and stuff on. Just have to fabricate a lift for the big tires. i will have the fornt of the truck painted on the wall, and like any boy he wants flames on the truck. I don't know if i will put the top on the back or not It would be cool but hard to make the bed. I will probalby have the tail lights working as well as a cargo light on the wall or in the top. When i have it started i wil post pics.

 

\m/ COOOOOL!!!! \m/ Definitely a cool Dad, Can't wait to see the pics!
