Hi guys,
Just got my "Frankenstein" truck. That is her nickname.
i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb338/Alex_Ramirez1/IMG_0288.jpg
I just found out that I posted my truck on the wrong section. So here it is.
Wanted to find out where to gather parts or the rear window for this truck. Local store could not find proper size. Actually her catalog not even mention a Custom Cab.
I traded this truck for another vehicle. How much are these trucks anyways? I seen prices from 3k - 7k.
Good,
Interior not bad for age (needs dash, cracked)
4x4, lifted
solid body, no rust
unique
Double gas tank
head turner
Bad,
Engine burns oil (still pulls strong)
Tranny hard to shift to 2nd gear and to down shift to 2nd and 1st
lift too hard
window having hard time going up and down (manual)
Can't find the rear window
Latches that hold rear tank are broken.
Since I just got it, My mind wonders how it will look with 1 Ton Chevy drive line and 40 inch tires. I currently have almost everything except the chevy engine. Does anyone done that conversion? I love the body style and I will not bobbed it. That long body makes her look special. But that will kill the daily driver aspect of this truck.
Plans:
For now I will run it like it is. If i can find a good deal on engine/tranny , I would probably keep it all Toyota.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
