Well I haven't really made any progress with the truck aside from cleaning it up a bit and putting some better tires on it untill I can afford some rims, but anyways here is a picture of it with my buddy's 85 720

 

ask him if he wants to trade for my yota?

 

Haha well if you're serious post up a picture of it.

Trucks looks great, sound like our trucks got a-lot in common, I've got an 82.

Good luck with your project.

 

Thanks man keep us updated on yours.

 

not trying to steal your thread just wanted to show you my 79

 

Sweet. What do you have planned for it?

 

i can't decide, I have several ideas.
1. sfbd daily driver, shorten the box to make it a short bed, nothing crazy just clean.
2. make it like a 4 runner using a donor blazer or 4runner. also sfbd.
3. make it extended cab using a 95 pickup donor, including using the wide frame around the door windows. remove the rockers, 2" body section, and a 4" chop. this idea is simply to build something lower than my 86 which is 42" tall. this approach would yeild roughly 39" tall. This was my original idea.
Anyways i'm not sure what to do but i still have a year or so to go on the 86 so i have some time to decide. i'm also open to suggestions.

 

Well I got her a little lower untill I can get enough room in my shop to bag it. I have a completely different plan for it then I started off with ,but I should be starting it all sometime soon. Here's a recent picture of it

 

Lookin good!

 

Ok something new finally. It's nothing special but looks alot nicer then it did. New head light trim things (idk the technical term) and corner lenses. New grille on the way.

 

and two more just for fun

 

Now i just have to find some wheel studs so i can put my new wheels on.

 

I agree, I love the old ones...even thinking I should've held out for an old one, I'll find one eventually so the wife can further scold me for dragging old cars home.

 

Looks good! What kind of pitbike is that?

 

Thanks man. It's a 02 xr50 with crf plastics and a pitster gpx 125 motor with a 4 speed trany and manual clutch. It's a little beast.

 

Its called a headlight door.
Mind if i ask where you got them? and did you find a place that sells the corner lenses separate? I can only find the whole assembly.

 

where did you get the new corners?

 

I got them from partstrain.com and they came as one piece but it was like 20 bucks for both of them. The plugs for the corner lights (which came with them) were wrong but that was a quick easy fix.
