    This is a start to my build thread of my turbo propane pickup.

    1991 2wd pickup
    1986 22RTE out of a factory turbo truck.


    Here is where we started, dropped it 5inches with blocks and torsions.
    Threw a spool into a V6 8" third, came out of a 1988 Toyota 1ton rear end. 8" with 5 lugs.


    I'll upload some pictures to photo bucket and post soon, the mobile site is only letting me attach one image per post.

    It was fun with 5" blocks in the back and the torsions turned down almost all the way with stock bumps. it has a spooled rear with 4.34 gears. but its time to get started with a real build for the pickup that seemed cursed with how many people crashed it and how i ended up with it.

    Frenching the tube through the frame with a hole saw, an idea my brother saw on a drag car, and we hole sawed the body so the tube is welded into the body in 4 places on the bottom. We were able to lower the body about 4inches on the frame.

    Can't wait to break out the brake, sheer and bead roller for the floor.
    Tin work will come soon.

    My plans are to get it as low as possible and as light as possible.

    Id like to compete in the 2016 Virgina City hill climb and visit a few drift tracks in the mean time.
