    'Sup fella's! I just found this site, I've been trying to find any info I can about the pre-79 trucks but it's a little scarce. I've got a '77 that my grandpa gave me. My friends and I chopped the front springs nearly in half, pulled a leaf in the rear and put 3" blocks. I love all the looks driving it but it makes it a little rough trying to get around these horrible roads out here.

    wonder how many floods thats been through :ROFL:




    sweet truck, to fix the horrible ride you need to go up a bit, or start cutting.


    search around here a bit for more info.


    but i DD mine in downtown seattle, on some of the worst roads in the state got about a 3/4in drop.


    check my thread on coil spring drop's.



    kinda think you should cut n bag it, and dont touch the body its got a perfect zen to it.



    ps: your about to get towed, note the orange sticker:D

    Well the plan is to eventually bag it, just gotta choose between dropping money into the truck or the MR2

    When I got home and saw that sticker I was ready to strangle somebody






    Ooh, it's also infested with spiders right now so I'm gonna wait till winter to start really tearing into it

    That body style brings back a-lot of good memories for me:

    My Dad had a red 76 and I used to sit in his lap and steer when I was around 7

    Friend in high school that got me into Toyotas had a 78, man those were the days, crusin in his truck jammin 6x9's on the floor to Bon Jovi " Livin on a prayer". Things were much simplier back then, man I feel old!

    Trucks looks good, good luck with it.
