Nice looking truck, my dream truck.

Beautiful truck, sir! It'll be worth the wait.

When I talked to Jeremiah last week he said all that was left was the canvas.

It looks sweet Sean. When do you plan to go get it?

Not sure yet, still working out the details. If I go and pick it up it will be mid August.

yooper,

nice rig, I am truly have 79 envy.
Just pick-up envy to be honest.
Are you planning on having a canvas top for the canopy?

 

[yooper]

The canvas top is really cool and one of the last things that needs get finished. I'll post pics when that's done.

another question for you.
is that a 79 series bull bar?
are you missing a valiance behind it?

1. I don't know.

2. I don't know.


Sorry, you can ask Proffitt's.

There turned out to be a LOT of little parts missing that noone thought of that we had to end up buying. This truck has dozens of brand new OEM Toyota parts on it. There is some stuff however that we couldn't get or was prohibitively expensive.

At least you got the correct OEM snorkel.

 

[yooper]

just got these

 

[OGBeno]

Purdy indeed. Looks almost like it came off the line at Yoshiwara....sans the turbo...

 

[wongtsenhin]

Look like H55F box?
Did you reposition the cross member of the tranny?
Is it OK with the engine mounting bracket on the chassis? Any mod to fit?
Not too bad overall in building it.

 

[Clint79]

Very very nicely done .
That overhead consol is that from a shop or home made looks very handy and neat

 

[wongtsenhin]

Is there another cabin on the ground? (Photo 2 from the top). Or another set waiting for assembly.

 

[Bomar]

Awesome...you have to have a s*** eating grin on your face when you look at it.

Congrads!!!!

 

[yooper]

Looks great!...but...why no TOYOTA steering wheel?

No me gusta the GT wheel

donor vehicle wheel was too beat up to use.

New Toyota 79 series wheel was $800.

Other Toyota models we tried didn't fit right.

Factory frame, engine and tranny from a mine truck, no mods necessary.

Proffitt's made it custom for me. We found some in Australia we could buy, but it was less expensive to make it, and easier to customize of course.

There are a lot of parts there, it's a big shop with many ongoing projects.
