45 From Junk (1 Viewer)

[78Crusher]

HELLO
I just aquired a partialy disolved 40 with a good frame and running gear. I would like to make a heavily modified 45 out of it. I allready have a 78 40 but would like a 45.
all work will be done be myself.
I guess what I am trying to see, is it worth it or should I part it out?

I'm doing that exact thing right now. I choped the 40 tub off at the B piller then moddified the top rail from the back of the tub to make the 45. Its been a project and still is. If your going to do it, make sure you make your tub long enough for you. a stock 45 tub is tight for a person over 5'11". So if your going to do it you might as well make it comfortable for ya.

Was also a bunch of pictures in Toyota Trails a few years back showing 45's that were stretched. No idea what issue anymore though...
