1986 yota x-cab former longbed with 300,000 miles on the truck itself. i bought this truck in february 2007 for $500 when it had about 269,000 miles...hell of a deal...and its a toyota. cant really beat that...
fall 2007:
mustang wheels on the back, steelies on the front...
homemade tilt hood...looks way different now
good pic, ugly truck
summer/fall 2008:
chillin with new paint on a new parking lot
cell phone pic taken by my buddy zach
front end needs work...
the funny thing here is that im only 5'2" and im still taller than my truck
early 2009:
new exhaust and "trunk"
may 2009:
no engine, tranny, suspension, or top...haha
little roadster now
i promise its the same truck
chopped 'A-pillar' and added rollbar from a jeep.
awesome donor vehicle: my former daily driver, a slammed 1991 ford aerostar cut down into a pickup
(more info on page 2)
lost my license for a year as of november 2009, so time to go a little crazy...and i really miss my truck. soon to cut apart my donor vehicle for engine, radiator, tranny, driveshaft, rearend, gastank, wheels/tires and whatever else i can think of. plan on move the rear axle forward about 25 inches and will be reworking the interior and rewiring just about the whole truck. gonna weld the doors shut and completely shave the doors altogether.
finished vehicle will be as follows:
1986 toyota pickup minus the bed, top, and front body pieces. Engine and tranny from the aerostar, with a wheelbase of around 93 inches will make this thing the coolest new age rat rod roadster and it'll keep up with a new camaro ss or challenger srt8.
