Ok guys here's the deal, I bought a very nice original 84 4x4 extended cab with a toast frame. I found a mint frame out of an 88 2wd for a good price. So what am I looking at to make the frame work? It's there anything more substantial than all the axle mounting for the front and the transfer...
In search of an 84-85 toyota extended cab frame, I'd also be interested in any 84-88 frame that is solid. I'm located in Eastern pa zip 18343. Any help is appreciated! 5706568539

Thinking about letting go of my sas 87 yota pickup to fund some other 40 projects. This has been a great truck to me the last few years and has never broken down. It is only listed here on mud. Let me know what you think
Info:
1987 toyota pickup has around...
Small update. Trans seems to be losening up some as it gets moved around as well as the syncros working better. New slave is in and it is running/ stopping much better, tore apart the heating ducts to find a giant mud wasp nest that was disabling the squirrel cage for the fan. On top of those...
So far I have just changed trans fluid, but everything feels good when up in the air and while pushing it around in neutral. It seems this cruiser was redone sometime around the 10 years ago it was parked. The story I got was the gentleman I purchased it from got it in NY drove it to south...
Personally I believe there is nothing better than a (mostly) stock 40. They are extremely capable out of the box, depending on the year money is best spend on upgrades such as breaks if it is an earlier model, don't forget to post pics if you can!
Thanks hack, I have pretty much ruled out the breaks, it only drags hard while in gear, as in while driving if you push in the clutch it acts as if breaks are on, only in gear, not in neutral and much worse in reverse.
I do appreciate the input, amazing how easy it is to stare at a project and overlook somethings so simple, only to have someone point it out in a minute!
pb4ugo, my understanding would be that if the vehicle is running and the clutch isn't fully disengaged it would continue to try moving, not come to an abrupt stop? However I have a new slave that will be installed within the next few days hopefully, I need to bleed the breaks a little better...
yes ramps are sloping in, luckily I read the thread your speaking of while my drums were still off. I believe its narrowed down to transmission, it will roll with trans in neutral, with trans in gear and transfer in neutral, but not with trans in gear clutch in, tested with vehicle running
to clarify when moving in reverse and the clutch pushed in it stops as if someone is on the breaks. enough to noticeably make the front end come up slightly (and for anyone unsuspecting to slam their face into the door frame while looking back :bang:)
is there something to do with 4lo that would make it grab? I believe it does it in 2hi as well however I do move it in 4lo with the hubs unlocked when in the shop
Thanks for the interest guys, as for the yellow maybe it will grow on me but I will most likely do a stock color for this resto. And Brian, yes! it does run actually quite well it has an aftermarket ignition system other than that its mostly stock. The issue isn't as bad moving forward and seems...
Ok so I was unable to get my 40 to roll freely IN GEAR as in if you are driving and push the clutch it feels as if the breaks are dragging hard, the rear tires spin free, parking break is not stuck, and transfer case is fine. It seems whatever is tight is in the transmission. It will roll in...
