    Hey guys, newbie to the Yota Lux scene, but not the mini trucks, i had several nissans in the past, but i just got my 73' Hilux and it was lowered by the previous owners: 4" blocks and -1 leaf spring (i think) with old worn out highjacker air schocks in the back:brickknock:, and it's lowered alot in the front but not sure what was done other than cranked down torsion bars:thinking:....
    I need help sourcing parts and part#'s for the front and rear setups so any help would greatly be appreciated:shrug:...
    I'm going to end up doing sort of a ratrod project out of it, black and grey and red pinstripes, etc...
    Thanx...:waytogo:

    Since when did they put torsion bars on a 73? More likely they cut the coils:waytogo:

    I love it when someone is quick to help out a noob with redundant questions. :waytogo: ... Gees ... :rolleyes2:

    I have not found a great site to go to. Rockauto.com and eBay are good sites if you search for "RN20 HILUX". Good luck and post any sites you find. I have a 78 that I am going to be working on after I am done with my '93.
