Thank you, Ill get one up of the rest of the interior later

 

Dude.. Nice, I hopped over to check this out after you hit up my thread.. Sick door panel,
I had no idea anyone else had the plates theme going on here, and have actually been thinking of doing this same thing to replace my door cards, probably even a console when I get rid of the bench. You have any pics of that center console to reference?

 

Thanks man, I havent gotten on here in a few weeks to check up on it. I don't have any more pics of the console right now but i'll grab some for you soon.

 

Well I still haven't gotten any pictures of the rest of the Toyota but I did cover the door panels in my 82 Datsun with beer cases and a few Fallout 4 cutouts. I'll post these here until I remember to grab some of the 78.

 

Lol thats actually kinda funny

 

Haha yeah it was something to keep me busy for a while. It was fun too. I'm going to finish the rest of the interior in a month or so

 

I did something similar to the tailgate on my 89 but i used Monster cans

 

Can you post a photo of how you notched the frame? I'm curious to see what your rear suspension setup looks like. Great looking truck so far!

 

Welcome aboard!

 

All I did for the frame notch was take some 3" ID (i believe) pipe and cut it in half and cut my frame out enough to weld it in there. It was basically a home made in frame c notch, but it didn't do much because the cross member also hits the hogs head when it gets that low. I pulled the middle leaf and moved the overload spring to the top but I wouldn't recommend it. It makes the truck almost useless because it ends up being mono leafed in the rear. I put air shocks on it to make up for it and that is a good fix as long as you have an air compressor on hand and don't plan on hauling anything over a few hundred pounds. As of now, I've taken the Toyota off the road for the next few years and replaced it with the Datsun. I'm going to finish my Sonoma I'm working on now and then I'm going to bag this truck and rebuild the frame from the front clip back (but that will be a while from now).

 

Also, I don't think I've posted this in here but here is the link to my other (current) build thread. If you want to kill some time check it out.

Awesome work on the rack. It does look hard but you made it sound super easy.

 

I see, get the easy build out the way first lol.

 

Haha I'm going to finish the s10 and make it nice but I will never do another truck as thorough as it ever again. If my pops didn't have shop like he does I wouldn't be able to finish it.

 

Please do not paint it... haha! The patina is perfect, such a badass pickup!

 

Thanks man. Trust me I'm not painting it. Once I get around to bagging this one, the frame will be redone but the body will be the exact same as you see here.
