Re: something different 66 long travel truck

you know... the low ones look way better, but nothing beats sitting way up high like that when you are driving, and being able to see everything that is going on around you... kinda makes me miss my 4wd sub.

Looks like a "gasser". You are a freak show! Keep us posted with pix and thanks for sharing.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

yea cool ride.. love the old bodied prerunners.....

.......and now i've made up my mind, i'm going to 4-link/coilover/straight axle front and rear/4 x4, my '62 suburban.:hmm:... no for real!

heres my '73 preunner ... the flying shot is a few years ago when it was a single a-arm front end , since its been changed to a double a-arm deal.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

When you get a set of tires on there i think it will make it look really good.

You should have changed the rear axle ratio, to 4:11 or such, the large diameter tires are like running a 1:98 rear axle ratio Kieth
