What’s up people?!
So I’ve spent a LONG, and mostly painstaking, time in the 80 subsection learning as much as I can. And while I’m not done, I have plenty of time to catch up with that, so I can wrap my mind around the last vehicle I’ll (that’s a loose term, this’ll be a huge project) ever build, and of course it’s a 55.
Without getting in to too many details I probably haven’t thought too well through yet, the question is..
Is there a Toyota or Lexus ‘donor’ chassis (drivetrain and all) that would mate up to a 55 body/cab with minimal midlife crisis? Or has anyone ever tried this?
More or less, would a (let’s just say a..) ‘12 4Runner, or an ‘11 GX460 donor be a good vehicle to use as a base, and essentially source a 55 for the body and cab ( and worry about interior after ).
