    I have a 94 extra cab Toyota body. Was planning on building a clean respectable looking pickup that could haul some wight. What axles would be best to put under it for towing a 27 foot trailer. If it would be safe or even possible to tow with. Diamond or 60s? I've priced out both and both are fairly close in cost said and done. Truck won't see rocks only snow wheeling and sand, and highway driving. The ifs is shot, truck sat in a barn for years. So keeping it wasn't really in my mind. Power plant is already a 1uz. Any input on axles and link set ups to keep it low and tow?

    My first post, thanks for lookin sorry if anything has been answered already. I couldn't find much one a Toyota tow rig though

    Honestly if the price difference wasn't huge I would go diamonds specifically because I wouldn't have to worry about old parts, all new everything
