Really.. Hmmm. I need to to talk to dnp.
I've posted this truck before, but I ran into this guy today and got a chance to talk to him for a few minutes. I've seen it before and found his build thread when I googled it trying to find out what kind of truck it was. He pretty much made a '72 three door crew cab from two trucks and put the whole thing on a 2001 chassis. Really friggin' dope. He said he's got the "bride" to this truck under the knife right now. Cool stuff.
He's also the owner of the local Sportsclips and even gave a brotha a card for a free trim

That's me if I drove one car for more than 2 years lol
L-O-V-E that car.
Satoru Nozaki’s body was turned directly from his scale clay model into body bucks, and as no one in Japan had a production line capable of producing the 2000GT’s complex, compound curves, the semi-monocoque steel body was hand built, with all detachable panels and trim being numbered specific to each car. The impossibly low ride height of 3 feet 9 inches is made possible by a central beam, spine-frame with Ys at each end. This also created a front-mid engine position and gave the car its famously perfect balance.
Running gear and drivetrain components were beyond state-of-the-art. The only transmission able to handle the torque was an FA 4-speed from a Toyota truck, but by the time it became the GT’s fully synchronized 5-speed, it was a perfect match for the 7,000 RPM engine. The rear end was Japan’s first limited slip, with a standard 4.38:1 ratio and three optional choices. The 2000GT was Toyota’s first car to feature four-wheel disc brakes, which are Dunlop in this case; and the company’s first car with all-independent suspension, which employs double wishbones at all four corners.
The 2000GT lived up to its Grand Turismo name. Owing to the world renowned artisans that Yamaha utilized on the project, having been building concert-quality pianos, guitars and other instruments for a century, the same craftsmen constructed the 2000GT rosewood dash and console and Mahogany steering wheel and shifter. All instruments were chrome trimmed and watch-like in design and the deep Black perforated Tex-Mex style sport seats were the equal of any Italian exotic.

But, do you like them?
I'm fine with my relationship.

This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone local own a set of 5x150 Spidertrax spacers? I want to figure out if they would solve the rubbing I'm getting with 37s, and I'd hate to buy them if I don't need them. I'd only need to borrow 2 spacers from the front wheels, and would know if they were adequate after a few minutes of driving.
Anyone?
Anyone?
