My Supermegaextraoverultimateduperultra Stanced Toyota Truck! (not really)

[Lt. Dangle]

Those are some Nice probe GT wheels. Haha...

Truck looks good man, shitty to hear about the shotty body work.

The wheels are in fact Probe GT wheels, something I am very fond of actually. These wheels were a staple in mini trucking in the mid 90s. They were at the time, rather expensive, seeing as they were new car take offs or factory purchases. Obviously a bit different now days...but definitely a "period" wheel for what the build is/was.

You gotta go leather. Like saddle leather... with the silver and copper and stuff... I have the strangest erection right now...

I read "strongest erection." Was fairly worried that this was the cause of such...but strangest is a little more understandable.

Houndstooth interior would look soooooooooooo sick.




I don't know why, but I've always liked saddle blanket seat covers too.

I like your fucking style, sir.

Oh, I wasnt knocking, I actually like the look, my buddy had them on my ranger that was static when I lived in the ATL...

Not to mention, I have only owned like 6 of those faggot cars over the last 6 years, and own 2 currently. Haha

[Monster]

Trucks coming along bro, seen your build over on IN as well

[FlatRocker]

Wahoo! New stuff from the junk yard!

I grabbed two Del Sol buckets from the junk yard in great shape for all of 25 bucks! No rips, tears, or weak foam or anything.

I like that you kept the Japanese bed and raised the bed floor. nice work.

NOONE runs the jap bed and I would never run an American bed on this body style. I hope to wire my switches, finish up the solenoid wiring and stuff tomorrow. If my battery is still good I will be testing everything and hopefully getting it back on it's own feet for the first time in a LONG time. I haven't driven this thing since last September or so. I can't wait to roll it.

On another note..

I finally landed a job and plan on spending a bit of money on the truck throughout the year. I want to shave the firewall, have the front end tubbed and a core support built out of round tube. I would like it to bolt in so I can powder it like the arms and brakes. Valve cover may get matching powder. Who really knows.

I'm kind of taking the build as it comes. I've "planned" too much already, and it never really works. I will go with an understanding from now on and work details as I work and have work done. Feng Shui or whatever. Should have a few updates within the next few months other than driving it. Bed Build 3.0 for sure.

[FlatRocker]

Oh and for your viewing pleasure (I hope)...

I present to you...

The powdercoat color! (...and my new arms.)

Really digging the older import trucks bagged these days...in for this.

[Litneon]

Those are Steve's A-arms right?

Build looks good, can't wait to see it finished.

No, they are not Can Do arms. A buddy built these for me. We figured the BJs we needed and the sleeves and just made up some of our own. My buddy knew exactly what was needed and got em done and shipped out to me and a local friend powdered them for me.

Thanks man. I gravitate towards the older/smaller stuff myself. Not a big fan of the huge trucks people are building these days.

[FlatRocker]

Woop! Got my switches wired up for the most part today. I have one more pair (rear passenger) to wire up, getting that done tomorrow. I'm stoked to say the least. The truck is running, switches working, it's getting close!

My switchbox is officially a BMW center console power window switch set. Yippie! I'll post a pic of which one when I get my camera out of the car. I think it came out of a 5 or 7 series, not real sure. I just ripped it out, console and all and tore shit to pieces to get it haha. It's fun to wreck a BMW on purpose.
