storage unit build

[79chevy39.5's]

well i had quite the collection of Toyota parts collecting in my garage and needed someplace to store them

a friend of mine wanted a lift kit for his 91 Toyota dd rig and steve had a 3.0 parts truck that he gots some bits off so he dropped it off this weekend while i was in seattle

so first think i did was pulled the ifs lift


then started cutting







you can see where the shackle is its under the front side of the body mount using factory spring length this is without a motor ect so i plan for the shackle to gain some angle



this is where im at now need to get some ubolts for the front end
plans are currently to use my 4.3 turbo 350 and toy case

1 what are you doing with that 22r we were talking about and 2 I'm going to part out my 84 x cab so no cutting required.

[79chevy39.5's]

dunno its chillin at the moment

oh and i have a 83 frame....its just under the wagon id rather use it for a super crazy low build but since this one isnt too low i wont have to shop the frame for steering


oh and cutting is fine its the damn grinding that sucks

[White trash]

We may have to talk about that engine. I have a complete second gen harness anf intske just sitting here

[SPR]

Kind of stressful to see that truck again I'll swing by Saturday if you're around to get some of those parts out of your way. I'll call first.

[79chevy39.5's]

ok ill keep poking around to see what i need....got any goodies that may be of use

[79chevy39.5's]

welded the pass through tuibes all the way up tonight mounted steering box and put the front axle together and got the truck on the front tires for the first time in a week


next i will grind the all the front end stuff and mount the engine trans and tcase. but the truck needs to go outside so i can get the ifs lift on my buddys truck and do a water pump on a friends duramax

Upon closer inspection we need to trade some parts. You've got chrome door handles and a passenger chrome mirror and I have the matching drivers door that has a vent window rather than the full glass. I'm parting out the 4x x cab so pretty much whatever you want is there.

[79chevy39.5's]

the doors are steves, so only currently have a drivers door, i kinda need some front fenders and grill, however my grey truck has chrome handles and mirrors

[White trash]

We can make that work. The handles are simple and I'll have the pair of doors with good glass and matching locks with keys. I've got a few grills and a box that parts won't fall through unlike the one on there now.

If your mirror is like the onr on there now we're golden. I need the plastic gasket type piece to go under my rare as hens teeth chrome power mirrors.

just ordered the correct bolts for springs and a seal/gasket kit from marlin, just got to mount the drivetrain...maybe this weekend that will happen and make sure everything up front is where i want it so i can weld the hanger on all the way and maybe ill grind everything off

[79chevy39.5's]

well my welder decided to stop feeding wire anymore got one ordered up hopefully it doesnt take as long as they say...oh well time to wear out some grinding discs i guess

[79chevy39.5's]

got the drivetrain put together engine trans and tcase

started putting in the truck as a complete unit to get an idea of how everything will fit. most people say that the manifolds in factory form wont fit, but from the looks of things i can run them with a modified stock s10 ypipe

got everything in and partialy mocked up, i will be removing the seat and the carpet probably soon so i can cut the floor out and get everything high and tight
