Hilux 83 Toyota Custom cab update

[yotadavey]

Last post it was not on the street yet.
83 custom cab with a 1KZ-T turbo diesel
35x12.5r15, R150 five speed, 4.56 gears
Highsteer.
Since the last post I got it going and working for the street/trails.
Bobbed a crusty box, rebuilt the front knuckles, added a winch, inverter, new headliner, wall panels, and a bunch of other little things.

It works great off road, drives super nice. Did a speed run and got to 150 kmh
Turned up the fuel and boost a little.
Still needs some things but for now she's good!
6000km so far with no major issues!

A US company modified single cabs in the late 70's to early 90's. they extended the trucks and added a fibreglass section in place.
I found the truck cab itself and put it on a 92 xtra cab frame. Lost a bit of box space that way but original frame was long gone.
