Now whom do we know who would want to buy this and restore it?

 

Remember on Bridges when that guy came backward with the trailer?

I do

 

I worded that poorly. I got the parts for that from a local guy. Pretty solid deal assuming the steering rack is in better shape than my 300K one. Trans looks very nice inside.

 

Right in my childhood

 

Damn..

I need to find a r150f for the possible tundra manual swap. Or the other frame... one of them will be an manual.

 

I'd buy it and leave it as is for Halloween

 

I'd immagine you don't want a standard in something you're going to tow with

It's probably that I'm just bad as driving a standard but slow speed parking lot type manuvering made that much harder would suck personally

 

I thought manuals were ideal for towing, at least as far as not having to worry about trans temp goes.

 

I’ve found towing with a gasser, manuals are great...

 

Yes, but the r150 first gear isn't all that low for towing in my humble opinion with the little experience I have with it

The one dodge diesel with a standard I drove had a granny gear, a gear lower than 1st for when you've got a trailer starting up a hill so you don't slip your clutch any or neglegably more than starting in 1st unloaded

In high range i found it kinda shitty to pull my camry out of a couple inch rut my cars tire fell into with my buddy's 5 speed 4runner

I'd immagine on longer trips having to manage the clutch every stop would get old

 

You don’t need a stupidly low gear for towing. Unless your towing ALOT. But my tundras max payload, I don’t need a stupid low 1st

 

True I bet a full size manual (back when those were a thing) were probably designed with towing in mind, I don't think the Tacoma was in either trans configuration

 

I could see how having a heavy load behind you would result in some clutch slippage in 1st with a Tacoma at least, hell I can tell a big difference just with a lot of weight over the bed. A heavier duty clutch might help IDK

 

There's that guy that tried to do a five-point u-turn when he accidentally went up towards M&M Trail that night....and almost put his family in a deep ditch.

 

Popup tent.

 

In a taco a granny gear would be needed. No matter what the 2uz has enough torque is want a HD Clutch. I may or may not do the swap, but I know the conversion bellhousing exist. Just depends ultimately on if a shift kit fixed the trucks annoying cold 4-5 shift flare or not. It’s a known issue with the a750f. So we’ll see

 

Man... I’d love one of those Edsels

 

After i found the NVA hole i had to go on the offensive

 

Its the best to stop the sun burn lol
