lright! so i have a 1980 toyota pickup short bed that has always been my dream truck and im now wanting to actually start spending some money to make it all it can be. as of right now it has

pro-comp 6inch lift
33" super swampers
15inch black stealies
stock 4:10's
4speed tranny
22R
weber carb
offenhauser intake manifold
header
flowmaster


future plans:
3rz swap
marlin 5in
36's or 37's
5speed
gears
lockers
new bed
front and rear bumpers
dual cases
sliders
marlin axle rebuild kit
shaved and trussed axles


any ideas let me know! i hope this isn't a slow build. waiting for tax returns. ha! ENJOY!

heres a better look at why i replaced the bed

well i came across a guy thats selling a 3rz out of a 96 tacoma with 103k and he's asking $575. it has the harness and the ecu and all the wiring but want to know if its a good price for what it is?


what would be the best way for the transmission and the transfercase? should i just get the w59

has marlin started making motor mounts yet by chance for 3rz swaps?

im going to go check it out tonight so maybe it'll be a go.
