So I went got it for $450 it's in ok shape missing one fender, seats and front end. I have front end an will get seats later. Here's some pics of about 9hrs of work with a buddy.

you two did WORK!

 

Trust me man it was crazy! I started at about 8am he got to my house at 10 an we didn't stop til we got the cab pulled off. Had to call two other buddies to help get it off. Hopefully I can pull the runner next weekend if I don't have to work

 

Here's some more pics

need to clean it up before the runner can be put on

 

Nice work man..... Glad to see another body swap in the making.

 

Thnx man. I've wanted to do it for awhile but never did until now

 

It looks like its going to be fun. Hey i have some 4runner seats and a center console.

Thnx man gonna clean up the frame this week when the painters are done and clean up the wiring. Then if I don't work this weekend it'll get swapped

GOD, I want to do this swap!! I'm just waiting for the money to come in so I can get the body. Hopefully be able to start on it within the next couple of months. I'll be watching this log. Please post pics, pics, and more pics!

 

Thnx. I've wanted to do it for a few years but finally got some funds for it an a single cab. I'll post more pics when I actually swap the body over. Hopefully it'll be this weekend. No one cud help this passed weekend so I couldn't do it but she's ready to be pulled off

Here's what i got done today. The body is sitting on the notch and front bed mounts. Need to cut an raise the rear floor for the notch and gas tank. Got mos of the wiring done and installed still got some more to finish up on to pics



and I put my grille an headlights on so they don't get broken

I'll be working on it a little each day hopefully get the rear cut out this week

 

Sweet score. Here's my friend's 96 I did bumpers and sliders on. I'd like to get my wife into a 4R, they're nice. I enjoyed driving Travis' when I got the chance to, it's a stick too! Looking forward to seeing the progress on yours, it ought to be pretty uncommon that's for sure!!

 

when i get my toy done i'm def gonna have to road trip it to see my girl and make a detour out to see this runner in person. looks sick man.

 

Tht orange runner is badass I have a sweet spot for lifted runners my brother has an 87 with a 4" on 33s he's gonna straight axle it maybe link it all the way around with coil overs or air shocks. Ya man I'm always home on weekends workin on one of my trucks. Just need to find some rims for it that ilike I'm the pickiest person about rims
