Welded the backhalf rails together. Just need to weld the stars in place.

[Tallchevy]

I like the plates. Looking bad 

[Twisted Minis]

Thanks man.

The owner came up this weekend, and while here he mentioned something about wanting to swap to 5 lug bolt pattern later on for a wider selection of wheels. So I mentioned that I happened to have a Toyota axle and front suspension in my shed. So now its a 5-lug truck.


And I made a crossmember to go behind the cab. Its 1/8" plate, dimpled 1" and 1.5" holes, with 1/4" top and bottom, internally and externally welded.

nice.. i wished i just had parts laying around... im still scraping up parts to start my new frame... im thinkin of dropping the toyota clip on the front to get rid of the i-beams... idk, sick though!

[kneedownnate]

Lookin good man   Still makes me want to my 81 going again.

[Twisted Minis]

I love the 79-83 Toyotas. I'd like to maybe pick up a 4WD as a daily next year.


Back half is on. Just need to cut and weld in the rearmost cross member.

[Twisted Minis]

Well I'm done with the Nissan for a bit, so I did a little work to the bed on my truck.

[jimbo74]

looks good.... are you going to do anything about the tire sticking through the bedrail?

[crawlerdan]

very nice man!! i can see you shop at the trailer parts store, as do i

[46&2]

Damn, looks sick man.   

So what are the plans now? looks "done" to me but I know nothing ever is. whats next?

[Twisted Minis]

I'm going to sheetmetal the sides of the bed to match the way I did the cab, then send the truck to the bodyshop to get ready for "paint" and get it sprayed flat again so it matches. Then finish the interior.

[46&2]

Oh, haha I didnt even notice the color difference, must have had one too many when i posted 

[yotadork83]

how are you doing the interior? custom dash, or restored stock? could you keep a good set of step by step pics of what you did? i want start on mine but i have never built a low rider before any good place to get pics like what i asked i would like to build some crazy dash and interior parts and dont know where to start. 

[yotakid707]

your yota is clean bro keep up the good work my buddy is just finishing up his s10

[DeadlyPeace]

I'll admit that I'm not much for low riders (owning or driving one), but I still love to look at apreicate the work that goes into them and all other types of custom rigs.

Very nice work

Cleaned up stock, modified bench. I have this picture of the seat.

Its just occurred to me that I haven't ever really taken pictures of the interior.

[Loosekannon]

You should come check out Reso. Thats what I'm going down there for. Its a "show". Buts its pretty much a 3 day party and you camp at the fairgrounds.

I used to go to the Reso runs, is it still at the Perris Fairgrounds, does Sunset still put that run on?? I used to be in Seductive with ToolPimp That club used to put on Endless Summer at the river. Don't know if they are still around, I think there is still a group in West Covina or somewhere near there. I see the big logos on the back windows are coming back. Your truck looks good 

[Twisted Minis]

Thanks man. Reso is now at the Colorado River Fairgrounds in Blythe. Still put on by Sunset, however this was the last year.

[iNfErNaL]

That thing is looking bad ass bro!!!!!.I like it alot.

[Twisted Minis]

Thanks man. I still want your F150 though.

[46&2]

Thanks man. I still want your F150 though.

Psst... you dont want that POS its a Ford!!






JK Infernal, for a ford that thing is badass

[Twisted Minis]

Hey now. I own 3 Fords myself ATM. Or 2.5 depending on how you look at it.

[DeadlyPeace]

I own 2 Fords also, and they're great........

















                   ......for testing the flex of my TOYs on






BTW your truck's looking real good. I'd love to see it in person when it's done.
Did you do the interior yourself? Doing anything unique with the rug or door panels?

I did outsource it, but I am considering learning the art because I have tried two shops and I am not impressed so far. As for the door panels I will make them match the seat most likely. And I will just be running stock black carpet.

[dizzydevil]

[Redbeard1]

   Normaly I don't like bagged trucks but this one is sweet...

[Loosekannon]

Don't you read???

[Twisted Minis]

^ Lol..

Heres a good driving shot from the trip back from Reso.

Thats about the coolest thing my truck does. Other than that its useless.


I also bought a new TIG welder today, and a new bottle, lots of wire and tungsten. It was between that and buying an 81 4WD. I figured the TIG would be less of a money pit. So back to saving money again. Lol.

[Duffil]

you know how it is around here.

[Twisted Minis]

There is pics!

Lol, you mean pics of the welder? So far all I have is a bottle, new gloves, and 20 # of welding wire. The welder is supposed to be here Friday. No one had it in stock.
