We shaved the doors like this so I could use a little bit of filler to shape the door rather than worry about if the metal was perfectly contoured. It' shouldn't take too much filler.

well, i met a kid here in town that is building a yota like mine but ended up buyig a 4wd bed for his build. His truck had a nice bed with little bondo/rust and we worked out a deal, so i headed home with a new bed.







this is something i've never seen in a toyota bed before, i don't know why but i've never seen them...rare?

the side panel inserts that bolt onto the side of the bed rail lip is something I plan on keeping. It may have to be chopped up or even rebuilt....but they will be back in the bed.

 

damn grant i love your truck lol

i think it's the probes and knowing that it's gunna be old school. i can't wait till it's done!!

 

Those side panel inserts are common up here in the Great White North!

Truck looks real cool, I like it!

 

looks good grant

 

You know what they say, theres no school like the old school! My next build is going to be a static dropped hardbody or 70's yota with a dancing bed and camper shell combo.

coming from you, it means a lot to be complimented. i look at yours builds a lot to get inspired man.

 

thanks guys, it helps keep it movin. going to try and wire up the poppers tomorrow if all goes as planned.

 

looking good keep it up.

 

Nice truck man, so whats next? What you goining to do with the bed?

 

looking good...I remember this build from www.yotascene.com

 

bed should get a raised stock floor or just cage and skin the whole thing.

 

What you doing for the doors to open? Poppers? I wish someone on here would do a build tread showing how to do this cause i want to do this to my truck but have no clue how to run them or hook them up

 

ill see what i cant do this weekdn for a right up on hoe to mount them. i did it my way, and I know there is one other that works but mine was easier IMO.

 

LONG time no post.

Bed is about to be done.


shaved gas door




rear access panel opening


cleaned up a bit

 

damn grant just last night i was wondering where you had disappeared to!! lol

bed is coming along nicely! i'd say you got a good deal with the trade work!

 

Why does this truck look so familiar?

 

I dunno, it's never been to Florida haha. I used to live in Orlando but the truck wasn't there ever with me. I got it after I moved.
