So this is going back to a few years ago…. The beginning of the SY4. Hauling her home from AZ and taking her apart. Truck is an 86 4x4 with a 22r. She was running and driving when I pulled her apart.

And then there was the little issue of the rear frame section being complete Swiss cheese from rust….. chopped it off and picked up a new frame section from a dude in SD and grafted that on in its place. Why not just link it you say? Well this truck is a near replica of the SY2 so she must retain leads.

Then removal of double layers in the cab and frame mods begun.

Then It was time to hang some leafs.

Then it was time to un-bob the frame and extend it back to full stock length and install the new rear crossmember.

Would it be awkward to say that I have a small boner right now?

 

[Turboyota]

Wassup!

Glad you’re chronicling this build forum style. IG just doesn’t do it the proper justice.

Then came time to mount the engine and trans. In stock location just using urethane bushings instead of rubber.

 

[Prepbyhelton]

Couple more.
