so where is the bend in the 81 frame? can't tell in the pic

83yota · « **Reply #243 on:** Apr 12, 2004, 04:51:39 PM »

by SE i think he meant it was a special edition. i dont know though. like i said i am new to toys.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #244 on:** Apr 12, 2004, 06:00:20 PM »

Im pretty sure its not a special edition. It doesnt have much for options just A/C and power steering/ brakes. Myself and another buddy thought the frame was bent by all rights it sure as hell looked like it! Well we get it apart and no bend hmmmm well I guess I have a good frame to build a formula rig out of now.

hummmmm, too much

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #247 on:** Apr 12, 2004, 08:18:02 PM »

Looking at it straight down the framerail with the bed, rear crossmember and tank removed the shackles were at about a 5 degree angle and by the looks of it the frame followed suit. I had no trouble believing that it was bent because of the other carnage that was involved in the roll. The rear left axle was bent, that same wheel has a 6" piece missing from it and the shackle has about a 1/2" dogleg to it. As I said it was the previous damage the shackles leaning and it "appeared" that the frame had about a 2" bend to the right. Yes I am aware that the crossmember could have caused the frame to shift but the shackles were leaning before I removed it. And just for the record there was no

involved. I dont work on rigs if Ive been drinking, too easy to screw stuff up.

Hows this for some weird bling? I decided to use the headlights, buckets brackets and all on the 90. 1. for a different look. 2. because they are Hella H4's

Ill probobly put the 81 grille on it too boot.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #253 on:** Apr 13, 2004, 04:05:37 PM »

Do you think these bushing have seen some miles?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #254 on:** Apr 13, 2004, 04:08:47 PM »

I have started the fun stuff now. :bull crap: I pulled the stock shockmount off the frame to save a bit'o weight and bolted the inboarded spring bangers on. Now I gotta make the rear shackle hangers and the rear will go in.

kyota have a point!
The bushings dont roll around in the sleeves so they have a tendancy to go away on the load side.
I actually got something accompoished again today!

WT. Time is money, so judging by all the work you've done on your truck(s), you've probably outspent us all.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #263 on:** Apr 14, 2004, 12:37:04 AM »

Yep but Im starting to blow my cash (time) like a heroine addict lately! My plan is to have a rolling chassis by friday.

I wish i had the same amount of time as you have to work on my truck, keep up the good work :.order: :.order:

And for your shifter, I don't know but it seem to be for handicaped people

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #266 on:** Apr 15, 2004, 01:03:48 AM »

Got the dash torn out tonight now Im just waiting to go and pick up a 94 4x thats donating its dash, doors, steering column, clutch pedal, line, slave cyl, rear axle, springs, aw hell Im basically using the whole thing but the body! I might leave this one fuel injected using the engine out of the 94 too instead of using the carbed 20r. Ive got too much to do and too little time to do it so what do yall think carbed or injected? The carb is way easier and faster but the injection will have a bit more power etc.

WT

Prismo · « **Reply #267 on:** Apr 15, 2004, 02:06:45 AM »

Go injected, I have had mine running standing on it's nose. Mine has been trouble free for 8 years. YMMV

84runner · « **Reply #268 on:** Apr 15, 2004, 09:27:16 AM »

Of course injection is the way to go WT, but time is the issue

So how many other things can you do before you absolutly have to dicide on the motor situation? myabe if you do those first you can see how much time you have left

youknow what I mean

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #269 on:** Apr 15, 2004, 03:03:48 PM »

im picking up the 94 in about an hour so Ill know then what engine is going in. I know the 94 was a runner...before it got rolled that is

But I also know that the 20r runs damned good as well. So Im kinda at a loss here, Ill put the rest of the truck together and leave the engine for last. Hopefully Ill have anought time to do the 94 engine if it isnt to messed up from sitting in the snow all winter
