Heres mine getting ready for metal salvage. Lets see yours......in action

 

That looks like a very clean straight truck. Mines no where near that nice and I wouldn't do that lol. Does ur tailgate have dual latches? Do u use it? I dont see it in the pic, just wondering
That and my truck has only main leaf and flipped overload with 3" blocks. Haha..
Again nice truck

 

That's what I was thinking, very clean.

 

1985 Toyota LWB

Thanks for the kind words. It has the single latch. I've ever really payed attention the rear springs, but I did install Air Lift air bags on the truck.

Pablo with eleven 32 gallon cans of dead crab bodies, headed for the garden and the chickens. It was about 20°, which makes it smell better. The task gets a little messier in the summer when it's 80° and the flies are present. I use the folding bench as a step when loading. Lowering would mean structural damage to the flat bed and reduced cargo area.

^That is too cool..........you go Pablo! Great truck for sure.

 

Mission complete

So I finished at the metal salvage...earned 40.00 bucks for my efforts! Truck got a little dirty, so I thought I'd give her a wash....my pups helped me out too!.....Little buggers! All clean.

 

What's the price per ton they're paying this week for steel?

 

Here is mine with 3" blocks, loaded down to the cut bumpstops! I need to try out my new air shocks and see how it does now...



Poser shot before i lowered it... hauling some bathroom remodel supplies.

 

My 87 loaded with my 2009 Kawasaki Nomad 1700...load limit passed LOL but the tough truck handled it with no damage.

the ton

I'll get back to you on that!

 

I lied to u.. loaded her up to haul an iron patio set.. luckly it wasnt far I was axle on frame with every pebble in the road... and 2 railroad crossings at 50 mph ugh... but she made it no super hard hits!

 

A Toyota's work is never done!

 

I used my truck for work for a while. Too bad the miles killed it.





After a long week



If you're carrying heavy loads or just looking for a little adjustment air shocks are the way to go. I don't know how I did it without them.

 

Here's mine hauling a 10 ft Christmas tree. You should of seen the looks I was getting lol!

 

Believe it or not my truck gets used more like a truck than any low rider should. My heaviest load of scrap metal was 1400 lbs of cast iron lol. Have often had bikes in the back or appliances, or engines or whatever I need to haul. Ill dig up some pics of it loaded up.

 

Had a load of 25 16 foot 2x4s once. Tailgate to roof style. Left a small dent. Oh we'll, had to get work
Materials lol

 

Making a small scrap load of metal from around the farm and garage. Looks like about 350 lbs. ill find more pics as a work truck.

 

Back to work!

Had to put my 85 back to work. Had to pick up my new to me dune buggy! Love this kinda work though. Raining cats and dogs to top it off.

 

To a degree, I like seeing lowered trucks still used as trucks. The more modded they are vs. the more they can still haul, the more impressed I am. It shuts up the people that say, "you ruined that truck" or "why would you waste a good truck like that?". Silly people.
