Thought I'd post up some pics of our 79 build. Pretty much the same as some of the other ones going on....1997 FZJ80 drivetrain and chassis that will be extended. My goal is to make this thing look as OEM as possible. I'm going to keep it forever so I'm doing the right way.....everything is Toyota and everything will be new. I've spent the last 1.5 years amassing my interior/exterior parts. My truck was damaged pretty badly in shipping so unfortunately, I'll have to repaint it(sticking with white). I opted to keep the interior good old Toyota oak as the door panels and mats were already that color. I'm digging the oak....very glad I went that route. Once we get the body squared up and mounted, we'll tear down the motor and do a rebuild. Strip the chassis for blasting/coating. I think I'll probably Linex the underside of the cab as well as the bed(going to do them in something close to oak). This won't be a 4 wheeler, probably just a daily driver with occasional off road use and or towing. Probably use it to run parts around for the shop too. Should be a fun build....should be more fun to drive it.
