'85 Xtra Cab Build

[StretchASU]

Bald TSLs, never seen a set of those before. Lol where the tons at? I will bring that yoke up this weekend.

They don't like that hook dirt til they're almost bald. Hahah! Tons are at Justin's. Just gotta give him some cash and go get em.

Only a few at the battered Toyota shelter. You know how we roll! Who needs red labels, thems cheatun tarz!

 

[StretchASU]

Going to attempt to keep this as close to its current height as possible. The front spring hanger and shackles will bring it up about 2".

you plannin on keepin the bed?

 

[Naterade99]

He Better!!

 

[StretchASU]

Its not much of a bed anymore. Just sheetmetal in the vague shape of a bed. But yes it is staying. I will just cut the fenders to clear what I need it to.

Rolled it into the shop after work tonight to give it a once over before tomorrows run at Mtn City. Tightened some loose bolts, made a harness out of all the old harness sections I had laying around and burned the chain back on the motor mount from where it had ripped off and taken a chunk of the metal cap with it. Just need to change some spark plugs in the morning.

This made me laugh out loud at work...yeah this one will hopefully be a roller, if not finished by Thanksgiving.

 

[StretchASU]

Got some cleanup work to do...

 

[StretchASU]

The front spring hanger kit from Sky and the Chevy 60 U bolt kit showed up tonight. Got a good bit of work done. Ditched the heavy ass front bumper that was on the truck, cleaned up the frame, welded up all the usual stress points around the front spring hanger and front crossmember that like to tear apart on these trucks and mocked up the spring hanger.

Tires and wheels should be mounted up. Will pick those up tomorrow and hopefully have the front end sitting on its own weight later this week.

 

[StretchASU]

Front end tacked into place and sitting on it's own weight once again.

Dually hubs and 2.5" bs wheels are wiiiiide!
