this is my 91 p/u, paid 700 bucks for it. it pretty neglected shape, needs full rebuild which i am in the middle of. plans are to just make it a good solid driver and drive the crap out of it. gonna set it up on 225/35/18 Enkei RPO3 wheels that i paid 150 bucks for, drop spindles, full back half, forward wishbone 4link/3link(whatever you wanna all it), shaved tailgate, repaint it the factory silver that it came in, BOB, 5 gallon tank, 1/4in valves(had plans for body drop but decided not to after i bought them), clean up the interior. on to the pics...

thats about it for now.

 

Wow. Welcome to TM. Nice start bro. Keep the pics coming.

 

yeah!

 

Welcome!! Your truck looks about the same condition as mine right now! I just started my new back half..

 

Nice progress. im getting ready to do some chopin and such, how much does this 2"x4" tube steel go for any way. say 3-4 foot chunks? anyone?

 

I paid $100 for a 20ft piece of the 2"x4" and a 20ft piece of round tube.

 

mines 2x3x3/16, and i got all my steel for free. but here it runs around 2.70, give or take a few, a foot.

 

Welcome. Wow that truck has had one interesting life! Looks like the front crossmember is near done lol. Awesome dude.

 

why's there a hole drilled on the throttle body?!

 

yea, it deff has had a interesting life, but im trying to bring new life to it.

and idk why there is a hole there, took the throttle body off to clean it and discovered it, so i have to get a new one for it, lol

 

Truck is looking great. Glad to see you redoing the work. What are you plans for interior?

 

idk yet honestly, havent thought that far ahead really lol. imma sand the dash and all the plastics smooth and paint them flat black, possibly have a buddy of mine who pinstripes do some color match striping in it. polk audio speakers, jvc headunit, and more n likely cut the head rests off the bench and have it wrapped in black vinyl and tint the windows and probably call it a day there lol. my goal with it is to make a really clean reliable driver and drive the crap out of it. i reeeeaaaallllyyyy wanna build a old box style dodge ram. but thats years from now and another story lol

 

i remember doing all that stuff. ecept i didn't hack off my back half, i just cleaned mine up a bit. looks like it'll be dope when its done though.

 

this thing was a must to have the back half cut off and rebuilt. the rearend was too far foward in the notch, random holes drilled i nthe frame so the bolts to the link could be taken out, and not clean hole, haggard holes, and the welding was poo.

 

so not much progress, lost my job not too long ago and ran out of money for parts lol. but got a new job and starting to regain funds to order parts. gonna hack off the 4 link and start over, not really happy with it. then gonna redo the gas tank mount and run a fuel cell in place. thats about it until i start collecting parts.

 

Im glad you're ressurecting the truck, looks like it used to be one of those jobs that makes you shake your head and wonder how the driver is still alive. lol
I also love that you chose to keep the stock toyota color, I like the stock look.

Pretty awesome you got a job so quick tho, not so easy here in Cali.
Lookin foward to seeing progress.

 

lol now everyone is going to move to Florida

 

Lol. Yea idk if im gonna keep same color or not. Still far away from now so that is more then likely to change. And im not gonna redo the.rear link, nothing really wrong with it. Itll work jus fine and.safe. But it is taking me awhile to collect all the.parts I need so that is what is holding me up.
