The Black Beater!!!

Frame is now straight, however the wheelbase is still shorter on the driver side. The only thing we could narrow it down to was the lover control arm... So I got the new (used) one yesterday. Hoping that they can get that swapped for me soon and see where we are at then.

 

That looks like a vacuum diaphram. It keep pressure in the line so when engine vacuum falls then what it operates it doesnt lose pressure. I want to say that operates the front diff. Don't quote me on it though.

 

Holy crap, it's been more than 3 months since an update...what the hell, man? First you were gettin mountains of work done every day, and then we don't hear from you for a quarter of a year?

What's up, Kuneff?

might have somthing to do with it

 

He might be up to other stuff, and probably is running into issues with the truck.

 

Hey, sorry no updates really... Got a new a-arm on it, and thats about it... I have had a million things going on...

I am actually almost home from a Month long motorcycle trip. Coast to Coast.. another 1,100 miles to go.. Once I get back I will be back working on the Tacoma and I will post more pics then..

 

is it at least back from the frame shop yet?

 

Yeah, its at my house finally.

 

Any news???

 

Hoping to get the garage cleared out in the next week or so. Then I can get the Tacoma back in there and back to work on it.

 

Screw them if you did. I think it's cool your bringing one back to life. I'm just going through this build new to the site looks great hope you still have it.

 

The Black Beater Build lives on!!!!!!!

 

Ah man cliff hanger looks great can't wait to see it done great job dude

 

Thanks for the good words guys... I actually started back on it Friday, took the day off and started getting the dash back in it.

I actually just sold my 74 Celica GT. 2,950 original miles... so as soon as the guy picks it up I will have my garage open enough to get the Tacoma back inside to work on it more. I am going to go with new leaf springs and front struts. Going for a 1.5" lift. My hope is to have it done by fall, but my schedule just keeps getting more hectic.

Next will be getting my Mustang back together...

 

Love the work so far! Keep it up!!

 

Ok, update... I spent some time on the truck last Friday. Got the dash back in the truck, and also fitted the 4 runner seats in. Just got my friend to stop over and weld the seat brackets on to the new seats... Its starting to get back to a truck again...

 

Pics?????

 

I will try to get some the the next day I work on it. It might be tomorrow...

 

Looks like a busy Tacoma weekend ahead of me... I have the interior most of the way back together. I still need a 95-97 glove box.

I have new leaf springs sitting beside the truck, and hoping to see the 5100's by Friday. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but either way... The leaf springs will be done, and the bed will be bolted back down, with tail lights back in it by the end of the weekend.
