OOOH ok I gotcha. I think ill just use regular shackles and notch the body mount. Trucks been sittin on the trailer since I got it in tear down mode but I aint got much done at all to it. Still aint got my brake parts and thats all Im waitin on!!!
 
Finally broke down and bought my rotors calipers and brake pads. Got me another axle from my buddy, I think its either a 84 or 85 axle. Got most of the junk cut off the other day. Its still in my truck bed Im trying to get it cleaned up before I take it in the shop. after I get the other unneeded stuff off im gonna put it on the trailer and take it to a car wash and get the 28 years of build up off of it. Then Ill rebuild it and paint it up.

Looks like an 83 or earlier axle.
 
OOOHH ok. I knew the 84-85 had the truss that's why I thought that what it was. Oh well, not bad for a freebie!!

Well been awhile since I posted on this thread, The Toyota took a wild turn. I found out me and my wifes gonna have a baby in June, so I decided to turn this yota back into a DD. The way I work weekends and 60hrs a week I cant find the time to wheel like I want to. Ill get me another trail rig eventually. Right now this is all I got until I find me the 4 door truck im lookin for.

First thing was get rid of the 37s and put on some mismatched 31s I had. Don't have any pics of when I first done this there on my old phone. Last chance on 37s-

Then I cut off the slides and sold them, and put on new inner and outter tie rod ends, idler arm and pitman arm. I still need to remove the add a leaf out back, the bj spacers, and the body lift from the cab. Also need to do BJs and wheels bearings and shocks.

Got a 4runner front clip and put the fenders on. Still gotta put on the front bumper

Dug in the scrap bin at work and got the materials to build a flatbed. The main frame is 3x1.25" channel with 3 pieces of the same channel across to hit the body mounts, and a piece of 1/4" 1x1" angle to hit the last body mount. Headache rack made out of the same channel. Deck is made form 11 gauge steel which is about 1/8" thick. The channel weighs 4.1lbs/foot and the deck weighs 4.1lbs/sqft. So the whole bed weighs between 395-405lbs. I scraped the old bed and minus tailgate and cut fenders it weighed 250lbs. But I still cant tell a difference as far as driving it. As a matter fact from my research a flatbed adds 26-32HP. I got the outside main frame ends cut to a 45 degree angle at work. With help of a few buddies, we stick welded everything. Still like a piece of channel across headache rack and more 11gauge to cover the back of the cab. Also thinking about lowering the piece across the top but I hadn't made up my mind yet. Still gotta bend me some stake pockets at work so I can put a 2x6 around it. Still need to mount filler neck to. Also got to paint it. I wanted a bed I could work off of and haul the general stuff you haul with a beater, so this will work for me. Plus, I got $36 in the materials, and about $35 in cutting wheels, grindin wheels and welding rods.

That's all for now, gonna take the bed off Saturday and paint it. Then I need to paint the cab again and paint the wheels all the same color. There gonna be primer gray.
 
Painted it a little while ago. Used Krylon roll on paint on the deck after a halfway layer of spray paint. Then I sprayed underneath it and then used Permatex undercoating. Decided Im gonna cut the piece across the top of the headache rack off and lower it even with the top of the back window after I take the body lift off the cab. Then put me a piece of channel across the bottom of the window. I got some more 11 gauge to put from the top of the deck to the bottom of the window, and need to get expanded metal to go across the window. Got my stake pockets made at work, gonna be 4 down each side and 2 across the back. The light brackets in the pics are temporary until I can recess them into a piece off 11 gauge. Trying to wait til I can find a hitch before I make that.

Got in a fender bender a month ago. Had to straiten my fender to get the light back in and put a new front bumper on it.

Bought me a set of 235/75/15 kenda mts. Gonna paint the wheels when the snow melts. Then after I get the motor in my chevy I'm gonna install new upper/lower bj, wheel bearings, pads, rotors, wheel cylinders, shoes, stainless brake lines that I got left over from the sas parts. Take off the body lift from the cab, take off the susp lift, buy some good doors then paint it.

Also bent up some 1/4"x2" flat bar to go all around the outside edge of stake pockets. Got the rest of the steel to finish the back and headache rack. Now all I need to find is time
