Hey everyone starting a new build thread here, recently I have really began to accumulate and build 2.5 ton Deuces, I got a crazy idea the other day while pulling parts off of my "parts" Deuce to pull the cab, swap a 12 valve cummins in and set an 86 yota cab on the frame. I already have a 12...

Here is a picture of our motor mounts. I didn't like anything I was seeing online for a "LS swap" so I made my own

Engine is set in place and 100% bolted down. I would also like to add, no cutting was necessary to either the firewall or trans tunnel (so far) but still need to get the trans crossmember installed and the T-case is going to be cutting it damn close!

Engine and trans ready to go inGetting everything lined up where we want it

Trans and T-case (built 4l65E and Dana 300) Rear axle all trussed up

Sorry everyone be patient with me, going to take a few for me to remember how to download pictures🤣

Hey everyone!!!!! Sorry its been a really long time since I have posted on here! I've been out getting married and having kids between now and my last post. I had to push this build off for some time due to the busy life of children and work but we are back to rock'n and roll'n! So just alittle...

Got the rear axle mocked up on the truck! as you all know we flipped the rear axle 180° so we had to cut new notches in the housing so the ring gear would fit. Got it done with nothing more than a sawzall and filling drill attachment. (Our cuts in blue circles) factory in yellow, NOTE: YOU ALSO...

Here is a few pics of my spring perches vs the ones that came in the SAS kit, Ofcourse Everything such as angle, distance between perches and height was measured and leveled off before everything was welded on, The pictures are just for comparison😁

Happy Friday everyone! I've been making progress on the Corvotta rig! I got the front axle Trussed and mocked up on the truck, I'm going to have to get some custom U-bolts made because the ones that came in the Trail gear kit are too short for an FJ80 axle (which is why they look alittle off on...

So I made some more ground today, got the front hanger tacked up, springs mocked up and rear Spring tubes welded in. I want to make note for everyone that is on the fence about whether or not they can do a SAS their self at home and the answer is YES you absolutely can! The directions calld for...

Ya so this thread started just as me asking for some SAS info and quickly spiraled into a complete truck build haha. Just a little recap on everything that I'm doing so any new followers don't have to dig through pages of posts I am putting a 96 LT1 Corvette motor in my 86 Toyota pickup, 4l60E...

Ha! Nope I'm in pretty deep, anyone have any ideas on how I can beef up the frame any?

Alright so the SAS has officially started, I was not able to track down a cutting torch or a plasma cutter for a reasonable price and my torch stuff got stolen so I figured what the hell! One guy on each side with a Grinder and minie sledge worked great to get everything off. Took some time to...

Also realized I never posted a pick of the motor all finished up so here you go.
