Worth a shot.
I went ahead and ordered the high steer.![]()
Whose High steer did you go with? Marlin? There was an article in the newest issue of 4wd Toyota about the All Pro hi-steer.
Other than the steering box, sounds like the rest should be pretty straight forward.
Sam, that truck is going to be bulletproof when you are finished with it.
I hope that when my new to me " mini truck " is 33yrs old someone will build it up like this. It won't be me as I will/would have been 76yrs old. But maybe I won't wait 33yrs
Here is mine.........

That thing is going to kick trail 4's ass along with many others.
I didn't really get a great shot of the powder since I was in a rush to get it back together. You can see the pitman hanging off the front of the truck and can kinda see the steering arm.

I am glad you ID'd that thing. I looked at the text pictures and on here and I was trying to figure out what that was.
Looks sweet, nice and flexy. shocking that thing will be the trick to make sure you can take advantage of all that flex.
And I am very jealous that you are actually making it thru your list, I just keep adding parts and projects to the pile.Stupid work and family and life keeps getting in the way... Wouldn't trade it most days, but I am going to have to buckle down and start clearing some things out.
Course with the new addition, I hope I can give the pickup the TLC it needs and start checking some things off and clearing out some parts.
April 20th will be here before you know it, keep the progress pics coming.
And speaking of parts and the new addition, I will be sending you a list this week probably for some PM stuff.At this rate I really am going to just have to set up an account.
