which one do i build
« on: Mar 14, 2006, 12:31:33 AM »
I'm new to the toyota thing so go easy on me. I picked up two trucks . One is an carbed 85 long bed w/210k and ac. The other is a 92 xcab,v6,auto w/160k. The 85 would be the easier one to build but being tall i like the room of the 92 and it's more plush inside .  I have always liked an auto for wheeling and someone told me these came with 4.88s already(i'll have to verify). So what do you guys think? The easy way and mod the 85 or sas the 92? It will probably split dutys as the shop truck and some milder trips(nothing harder than the dusy trail).

Steal parts and front axle from 85 and install into 92... Take the rest of the drivetrain (ie engine, tranny, and rear axle) from 85 and sell off to help fund for adapter plates and MC07!!! :shocking: :thumbs:
