wt i did not catch what year that shifter was out of but my bro. (works in a toy repair house) said he has only seen in person 2 trucks with that shifter and both had SE in the g-box. but i say cut it off and build a real shifter

[WHITE_TRASH]

The truck is a 90.  Whatcha mean se?  I have looked in the glove box but I didnt notice a se written anywhere

so where is the bend in the 81 frame? can't tell in the pic
could ant you just   :.order:   alittle on it?

[83yota]

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]

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.

WT next year you should go too.

[brainlessfool]

hummmmm, too much and not enuf     or just not enuf light?

[WHITE_TRASH]

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.

Shawn I gotta give ya a point I just cant see a brutha down like that!

[WHITE_TRASH]

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.

Look below your name it has a point counter.  Kinda a karma meter of sorts.  Whos that, Jeremy?

[WHITE_TRASH]

Do you think these bushing have seen some miles? 

[WHITE_TRASH]

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.

[WHITE_TRASH]

kyota have a point!
The bushings dont roll around in the sleeves so they have a tendancy to go away on the load side.

[WHITE_TRASH]

Ok a point for you too brainless.  I wont be out any $$ cause I have lots of spares!

[4.3 headache]

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]

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

[84runner]

Damn WT how do you find time to sleep and work?  If I ever open a shop I'm callin you first  your just a damn work horse   just get after that thing 

[88runner]

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]

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]

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

[84runner]

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]

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
