yea, probably. Trying to keep the sleek look though. I think I finally have my wheel measurements figured out, so just need to get them ordered. Also with the 4x4 fenders id have to find flares for the rear, or a 4x4 long bed.

 

That's another mod I might consider in the future if I drop more. I imagine that it would be hard to find that bed lol. I only have found one for my body but it was pricey

 

Went to the junkyard...

And installed an speedo with working odometer out of an 80 SR5 into my 81 daily. I also ended up picking up the tach out of it. Interior was the same color so I had to grab the armrests too. Just need to fix the windshield now.

 

I bolted a beat up 95 bumper and valance onto the 90 and put carpet into the truck in place of the craptastic trashed rubber mat.



The blinkers were busted up so I slipped the stock 90 blinkers into the spots. Now that I know I like the look I'll find a new bumper, brackets and valance.

 

Hey gr8, when you painted the u bolts, did the paint mess whither the thread? I'm thinking of powder coating mine

 

Lookin great macawilial. I have an black SR5 wheel that would look great in that truck

 

So yesterday I gave Lil Red some more air to breathe.



Yeah that's right electrical tape and bailing wire is holding it in place. I'm a Red Neck with a mini lol.

 

Sorry for the late response, I was out on vaca with the fam. I painted the bolts but not the threads, until it was all together. If you paint it all before assembly, just run a die over the bolts to clean up the paint.

 

thanks for the offer

I actually like my stock steering wheel though. Thanks anyways. My 72 definitely needed a steering wheel so...

Installed a momo using a nrg hub into my hilux. Looks sooo much better now!

My brother (Macrib) gave me his spare 350z wheels. Prepped and painted them over the weekend. These will be going on the 81. My son plans to drive it so the looks will be changing soon.

 

paint will come off as you thread the nuts on, more than likely you will have to chase the threads with a die to clean the threads if you powdercoat them, a little self etch primer and rustoleom will hold up just fine

 

Like the new steering wheel. Wow didnt know Macrib was your brother. That great that you got his wheels. They will look great on your truck.

 

well in the last 96 hours on my truck i fit the new 18's on my truck and did a ten rattlecan job on it that turned out better than expected check out the gallery cuz photobucket didnt feel like working now to go finish scrubbing off the overspray that didnt come off last night

 

Tore my truck apart to remove my old XM radio. Installed intermittent windshield wiper switch. And Installed a clock which i had to fix before it did not illuminate properly.


No pictures of it installed. Also finally got my sun visor.

 

I painted part of my grill white to match my white wheels.

 

Drove my girl 110 miles out to a car show & home!
No love today,but was for a great cause & fun, met & drank beers with a young due & his very sweet/ pretty girl friend!

 

Finally got my civic seats properly lowered and installed in my truck. Now I don't hit my head getting in. Been driving it around all day. Lovin' it.

 

Installed an upgrade performance clutch and Air Intake system on my 94 X-Cab. Now I need an O2 sensor.

 

last wed i came in third at a local car show in the truck class. two days ago I had a soccer mom in a suburban slam me at a red light, because she was on the phone. it was a lifted suburban. her bumper ended up in my back window,trucks totaled. today i yanked the subs dvd player and my rims for a 93 3000gt i just bought thankfully the lug patterns match. its been fun guys thanks for all your help advice and ideas to help make my truck what it was. i'll have to check in here randomly to see what you guys come up with, and see if burnzya ever finishes his truck

 

This is my biggest fear driving around in my 85. God knows insurance wouldn't cover my truck for what it's worth to me or to replace. Hope all works out for you and enjoy the GT. Had a friend back in the day with a VR4 3000 GT.

 

bought the truck back from insurance for 200 cuz i found a donor for 400 ok bed and cab but has fr driver headlight pushed back 5 inches need to cut that from the top of wheel wells forward and replace
once i find it and ill be back to scraping
