'81 Project Toy Full width Build up, Finally got it on the Trails....

[BRUISER]

Well we went back to the shop tonight

Stripped Cab and figured out what we will cut out and replace due to rust and what we wil cut to raise drivetrain in the air..

 

[BRUISER]

we also took 13 inches out of rear bed sides and tacked them in place to see how we want to dovetail the rear so we can start with some tube

 

[BRUISER]

Here is a straight on shot from the rear

 

[RufusTheRam]

looks like a good time to tub the cab/firewall while you're at it.

 

[Black Bear]

I will be selling the axles when the front comes out, I think they are 4.10 but I have not double checked.

For the cab we will skin a new floor, and build a new tunnle for the drive train.

 

[RufusTheRam]

yep, should be 4.10 as long as they're stock.

 

[1stgenxxx]

Those are 4.10

 

[1stgenxxx]

Hahaha I used to drive that truck everyday. I'm sure that it's gonna be badass when it's complete. I am working on getting another 1st gen right now. Firstgens' are the way to go.

its a yota....the tape holds it together

 

[buggybuilder]

Looks like a good start but if you cut off and replaced the rusty frame why weld rusty tube to a clean frame????

Just bustin your chops......dovetail looks cool,whats the plans for the 44/9 combo? You can tell us.
