Heres one for you guys the P.O had loaded 2 pallets of flagstone in a 1/2 swb and he said he drove it like this for years.Craked frame on the pass side before the rear end.

**kev2809** · 10-12-2009, 04:53 PM

watahyahknow · 10-12-2009, 07:28 PM

the bed prolly held it together for that long

Here's some I found on this forum. The PO did a great job of hacking this LWB to a SWB. Fortunately the new owner fixed all this mess. LINK

**N2TRUX** · 05-17-2010, 09:48 AM

What do you mean it won't fit? I think it fits just fine...

panhandler62 · 05-17-2010, 10:28 AM

I had to go clean my glasses off and look again... it didn't look any better the second time.

panhandler62 · 05-17-2010, 10:30 AM

Here is one stolen from a Jeep forum

**N2TRUX** · 05-17-2010, 10:48 AM

That looks like it will do it. Besides, if it breaks no biggie. It's only your steering.

basemodel67 · 05-17-2010, 11:57 AM

Me and my nephew fixed a dude's Tacoma after a "shop" back half'd it. They used galvanized pipe for the link bars, and Ikea thin 1" square stock for the retarded spider web design on top to hide the crappy stuff underneath. Instead of bumpstops, they welded a bar across the frame for the links to hit. He almost crapped when we cut the frame off at the back of the cab, he was like, "can't you guys just fix the few problems without redoing it?"

**N2TRUX** · 05-17-2010, 01:54 PM

I Z'ed my frame all by myself, Isn't it cool.

**N2TRUX** · 05-17-2010, 01:56 PM

I'll prolly add more gussets and stuff later. This should hold for now.

watahyahknow · 05-17-2010, 02:05 PM

it isnt even the fact that they cant weld or anything like that they didnt even try to make it look nice ....... if they done that with a bit more efford it wouldve prolly be more solid

bedsled71 · 05-17-2010, 06:03 PM

**kev2809** · 05-17-2010, 06:08 PM

wow, that z is riduclous! i hope that was a donor frame or something to practice on...

EVBuilder · 05-31-2010, 03:47 PM

Here are some shots of what I found in my truck. This rear end was out of a 1973 Chevelle. They cut the upper ears off and welded the leaf spring and shock brackets on. If that's what you call welding. I found a leaking axle seal and when I opened up the rear end to to remove the axle this is what I found inside the diff. I have no idea why it didn't make noise or break but it didn't. Oh and by the way the wiring was worse.

EVBuilder · 05-31-2010, 03:48 PM

Here is what the rear end looked like after I finished with it.

**N2TRUX** · 05-31-2010, 04:32 PM

That's too pretty for this thread...
