Build/Restoration of a beat up farm truck

You have my attention. Keep it up OP!

 

Great project, and looks like you know what you're doing. Keep it up!

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone... Def letting me know I'm on the right track

 

Parts weren't to bad I'm budget was 1k for whole conversion minus paint.
And as of right now I'm at 570. Still missing hood, filler pieces, few brackets, rear bumper and tail lights. I should just make or slightly brake my budget. I'm concerned about the hood there expensive and I would like to stay oem. LKQ sells them for 400. Aftermarket are 150

 

Subbed! Always up for a front end conversion thread Hopefully all goes well and don't hit any snags like I did. Can't wait to see the results!

 

You could always search local pull-a-parts for a tacoma with a sport hood that's been wrecked from behind.

 

That sounds good but I'm fearful of aftermarket parts not lining up. But I'll keep it in mind

 

Thanks bro

I tried no luck yet.

 

Looks like your doing great stuff, and that interior looks amazing. Maybe you should go into carpentry

 

Thanks

Picked up the fogs and y pipe from 2 me members here on TW. My y pipe was cracked beyond repair. The fogs are just dirty and need cleaning. Also got the bumper from Dave aka old school... Thanks again buddy and it was a pleasure netting you.

Lol it's almost like building a honda

 

Nice work op, im in the process of doing the exact same thing ur doing! Cant wait to see when its all done

 

Sub'd. Curious to see how the body work pans out and the front end conversion. Nice work on the interior!

 

Id of left it all beat the hell up on the outside, would of made wheeling MUCH more fun.

 

I thought the same thing lol

thanks

awesome... Keep me posted

thanks

rather go for a clean look as I would be driving it more on the st than off-roading but I see where your coming from

 

Got to work on the y pipe today. As you can see the old ones where not worth repairing

 

I commend you for taking such a task on! Looks like a good fun project.

For me, id get all the functional workings back to tip top shape, get the interior nice, but leave the exterior all beat up... but i have always had a demented look at things. Got a good scratch on the side of my truck... put an 8inch bandaid decal over it haha.

 

Thanks man.... I'm def taking care of the functional/mechanical components as priority at the same time keep my eyes peeled for good deals on parts I'll need in the future.
