wouldn't removing the middle leaf make it bouncy?

 

no just sloppy

 

@DjMjD - when u do ur conversion, can i scoop up ur front grill, bumper, brackets, etc?? my truck is in dire need of a face lift.
$$$ -may be of some assistance to ur new money pit lol

 

yeah for sure tacobo670 I have the step bumper if you want that $30. The front bumper has a dent in it and the plastic grill is all messed up. but you could have them. I need brakes and tires and then I will be doing the conversion. Since I am getting all the parts from pic a part it will only cost me about $200. But I need to find someone who can weld because i have a feeling I might have to do some custom brackets and such.

 

I got the interior out and I deep cleaned everything. The seat belts, The bench seat, the carpet and the plastic. This is dirty and I will post the clean pics afterwards.

 

I removed the middle leaf and it rides just fine. I removed the rear step bumper so it's not that low. It dropped an inch. Thinking about blocks but must see how much I drop the front to determine the drop in the back to even it out.

 

Il be in Vegas may 1st to the 5th .gonna go see my longtime friend works at the blindTiger bar ? maybe il see a few of you guys on the street

 

So I decided to do a little Plasti dip on my rims.

 

Dang, come the end of may and come to the truck meet at the same time lol.

 

Lets see some pics of how the interior turned out after the cleaning.

 

That is a good idea. The carpet just sucks so I am gonna replace it. The seats came out alright and the seatbelts come out pretty clean.

 

So I decided to take the front bumper off and see if I could straighten things out. It looks like I need new fenders and bumper and grill and valance. I cannot do the dual round headlights so I might go with the single round headlights. I am gonna get clear corner and turn signal lights. Smoke them grey.




Looks like the fender clips are bent out of shape. I hope if I get new fenders they bolt on correctly. LOL

 

at that point you should still be able to do your dual round lights, would just need to measure your core support and the core support from the dual headlight body year. then get that core support and weld it in place of yours while taking in account the over/under size of said core support.

 

So I found the dash piece at a local Pick a Part.


It is very faded but the dash is finally complete.

 

Found a perfect 4runner bought the rear view mirror assembly.
Now it's in my truck. Looks great but it seems the mirror is magnified. I might just change the mirror.

 

Oh here is the cleaned carpet. I bought another one though. LoL

That was the old one. Here is the new one uncleaned.

I will post the pic of it cleaned. It looks so much better. no red stain.

 

How was it? Which yard did you go to? Don't forget the truck yard on Lossee and lake mead too!

 

Henderson. They took out the whole row of toyota trucks. There was 6 new ones even a 22re with out the valves. I took the carpet and dash. Is that pick your own parts or do you have to ask for they things you need?

 

I gotta go back to that one then. Haven't been to it in years!!! I usually use the one on lamb.

Yea they let you pull your own parts.
