Here's my build thread, progress will be slow and photos will be added as things get done. here's the start, 1978 Toyota Pickup 2WD 20R w/5speed short bed and currently has 50,000miles... when I first got it... replaced the bad body panels, grill and bumper from my other 78... slapped in a a cheapy PaceSetter Header and a Thrush Muffler...
Driver seat was TOAST so I scored a set of "racey" buckets from a friend, still gotta get the passanger side in...
Shot of how it currently sits, stock ride hieght... I have a set of Belltech coils for the front and 2 in. blocks for the rear. Still need to round up some longer U bolts, shocks and would like to put in a rear sway bar. Need to finish painting the rear wheels to match the front and re-do on the black top (under coating was a bad idea). Eventually the black will continue down the body with 3 scallops...
Got some 17 inch wheels off CraigsList , think there off a 90's mustang. They have some curb rash but they ain't bent and the rubber is still good on them, so for $100 I'm happy. Here's some pics of them on the truck... I need to get this thing dropped now...
no go back to steelies your truck was so cool in the first pics your were headed int the right direction im thinking of going back to steelies too might go 300c to get a little bigger tire if thats what your after but dont start going all tuner on us now
Looking good man! You're doing all the right things with it. How are you planning to lower it? Static?
coils for the front blocks out back, not sure what terminology to use for that.... I can't bring myself to lower it that much, I drive it way to much. It gets driven 62 miles round trip 5 days a week and for 6 months it's usually snow covered. I have 2 inch blocks for the rear and some new coils I'm hoping to drop the front around an inch. Chances are I'll lower and then want to lower it more..
