How'd the swap go?

This makes sense. Is your thinking that maybe 75's still had the narrower frame rails and were fitted with unique motor mounts, thus those have...
I'm currently trying to track down some 75 mounts based on what ShoNuff said in the 4th post on this thread. Can anyone confirm that 20r mounts...
late reply but what year is yr rig? seems like the issue folks run into is the narrow frames of pre 75 trucks like my 74?

bumping for confirmation. There is a 76 at the pick n pull 45min away. It is probably picked clean but I was going to check out to see if it has...
Can anyone confirm if the 75 thru 78 frames all use the same width rails/motor mounts? When researching I've only read about direct bolt in swaps...

well, turns out Chinook extended all the rear lighting wire to account for the extra foot or so they welded onto the hilux frame. The wires...
These are great ideas, I confess I'm unsure how to check cam timing beyond confirming that the camshaft knock pin is facing up when at tdc...
I did roughly confirm cylinder 1 tdc when adjusting the valves by checking gently with a screwdriver. Not sure exactly how beyond but I'd say...
Hey y'all. looks the the right rear turn signal on my hilux chinook is not working. Drivers side turn signals and hazards work great and blink....
