3/4 ton rear leaves are 3" wide, 1/2tons are 2.5
Coils are direct fit easy as pie

It looks pretty bad in pictures, but its alot better than my cab, this one has rockers! and the floors are still 80% there lol. The front clip is gettin junked and my 79 round headlight stuff is going on. Frame has some rot, but nothing that isnt fixable.

And the tow rig has to hate me lol, i put a trans in it once..might have to do it again after this. Makes me want a Cummins with a stick even more

 

haha i knew i recognized those! they were my friends, i was gonna buy them but didnt have the money. the amigo is now awaiting a 350 swap and bigger tires also. how is your tires treating you?

 

cool. ya that amigo is pretty sweet. great, took em to the hardest places around here no problems, havn't even blown one off the bead yet.

 

little poser shot from the weekend trip

 

Took our little 2WD on a road trip last week from southern California to Leadville, CO. Some 2000 miles round trip. No issues other than running a little hot on the way back home, 115+ F through southern Utah, Vegas, and the Mojave Desert, running the A/C with the bed loaded with camping gear and a tandem mountain bike. Had to turn off the A/C for a while, though even at 11pm it was over 100 F. Don't know how people live there.

 

all ya gotta do is weld on new spring perches joe . if i can ever get a welder and torch, then my dad and i are going to swap his...cuz our '96 dodge sags bad lol front and rear lol

yea that '83 on the trailer looks like it has a bunch of surface rust lol.

post pics man!

 

I've been on the hunt for any rears with 4.10s (either the 1/2 or the tons) for it as if I go any bigger in the lift dept. 35s would kill the tranny **again** in a heartbeat with 3.55s

I'll have more pics up on here and in my epic long saga of a build thread for my 79, once i actually have time to play with it...work and college are killin my time.

 

Still alot to change, but shes a blast to drive.

 

1980 Toyota 4x4, pretty basic build

 

thats sick

 

With the new paint.

 

^^
Those meats look huge for 35s...i guess its just the 15.50 part.
Nice lookin 1st gen nonetheless

 

they do look like 40s

 

I get that a lot! I sure wish they were 40s! I'm not sure if I'm gonna like the 15.50s when I start takin it off roard. What do yall think?

 

it's gonna wander

 

man my 14.5's sure can throw some mud!!!! id love to see what one more inch does

 

Its gona wander, what do you mean?

 

wider tires will grab more imperfections in the road/terrain and try to steer the truck. and they aren't that much better offroad, and are terrible for on road. a 35x12.5 tire is plenty wide

 

I have no problem with them on pavement but i will have to see how it does off road.

 

I just took off my 33x14x15 boggers, and they wandered like crazy. much happier with the 12.5's.
