Hey guys, This is Pete

I have not posted in a quite a while, been busy with the truck. I want to apologize for not having the build thread posted here, it got put on ssm, mini truckinweb and drop n drag, wish I would have had it posted here as well, I have no reason why I did not have it done here too..

Anyway, just got done putting a new front end on the other day, much improved and cleaning it all up, as well as is going to get for now, I really love how it turned out, Dan Maxwell did a fantastic job, I highly reccomend him. His shop i called LCC (low clearance customs) and his e-mail is [email protected].

I am going with a classic stock/custom look, keeping all emblems, even added a few, door handled, even an antenna lol, might want to listen to the radio sometime. The next project is wheels and tires, but have to wait until next April, I big moid a year the wife says, totoally understandable, she's a great wife, very supportive.

Anyway, here are a few pics, hope everyone likes how it turned out,I'm very happy with it.

nice, that grill makes it look mean!!!

 

Very awesome truck sir. Much lower than my truck

 

Thanks for the compliments. Here are three more pictures. Had to have the carb replaced with a weber the stock one took a major dump

 

nice old school

 

Looks good! The chrome front end makes a huge difference.

 

Nice!



Except...



...you defiled it with a logo! Evil!!!

 

sweet! did you get my email? i seen the build thread on ssm and minitruckin, but since i spend all my online time here i wanted a place to look at the build! looks great, and the guy did a great job!

 

Ohhh, thats so bada**, Very, very kewl, I will be looking for more on this one. . .

 

Thanks everyone. Not everyone may agree with my choice on keeping the emblems and factory parts, tailgate handle, antenna ect, but I really want a different look, stock/custom/classsic.

Yes I did get the e-mail, tried to reply and it came back not deliverable? Forgot to post this pic Dan and I took yesterday in the parking lot at Lowe's.

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for the great support, think I'm going to start hanging out here regularly, I was very happy over at Customs Tacos for over 5 years and this will be better.

thats a sweet pic!

 

that is one bad a** looking truck

 

No big deal, i think I like my tailgate handle and my front emblem.

Personally I love the emblem choice because its something that everyone isnt doing and on this ride it looks bada**. Killer build thread man . . .

 

I see nothing wrong with the emblem!

 

Just when I thought I wanted to sell mine. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! Damn it looks good man.

 

That is one nice truck! I love the emblem choice. Personally I don't think all vehicles should be shaved. Some are and some aren't, that's what makes them different.

 

I wasn't talking about all the stock emblems. Those are cool! I was only talking about the Toyota logo on the front of the hood. After the logo was introduced, and design went to Toyota USA, they killed the mini truck. First, with that cheese-dick Dana manufactured frame, and then with the introduction of the 2005 Tacoma. So, I don't like the like the new logo on the old trucks.

 

Very clean.
Thanks for not spoiling it with some "18"s and a flame job
