Topar's build

[topar]

So I have finally gotten started on my build.  I have been saving cash and parts forever and now it is time to build.  The list of what I have:  81 Toyota pick up, home made flat bed, 5.29 gears welded front and rear, MC tube doors, MC rock sliders, MC 5" Trail flex kit, Bobby Longfield 30 spline cromoly axles, I have a 350 V8, turbo 400 tranny, Bucket seats with 5 point harnesses, 12 volt guy dual battery and in cab winch switch, removable grant steering wheel, dual batteries, 36" iroks, 9000lbs winch, and lots of other stuff.  Things I still need to order: Cromoly rear axles, Radiator and other parts for my V8 swap, tubbing to finish my exo cage, possibly propane kit I have not decided yet. and a bunch of stuff I just don't remember right now since I am at work.  Pictures to follow soon.

I am working on the photos.  It is still telling me the files are to large.  I have been trying to resize them but so far not small enough.  Will post them when I can.

Pics I think.

Okay I am having a hard time posting pics.  Now it tells me I can only go to 360.  Since I don't know what I am doing with Comp. any ideas?  I resized all my pics so they were under 100KB.  Thanks for any help.

holy blue! just curious why you painted before you prepped the axle, aren't you going to have to grind it off to install your truss?

[topar]

Yeah but I had a very short amount of time one day and wanted to see what it would look like.  Dumb I know but curiosity did kill the cat.

[olivedrab85]

Right on, just curious.

Looks like you have lots of good parts.

  wow, its umm blue! The frame looks really good.

Got the rear springs mounted as well as the front axle truss. Pictures will come soon.  Friday I should have a rolling frame hopefully with drivetrain mounted.

350 turbo 400 and a Dana 300 A adaptor plate to run the Toyota transfer case is way to much $$$.
