Lots of good looking trucks on here, so I decided to post mine. Here is the '81 SR5 I'm restoring the day I pulled it out of the garage last year. It has 104,000 original miles and the best thing is I got it for free 
One of these days I'm going to sit down long enough to start a build thread on here

Well hows the frame? I looked into a V8 but it was super tight.V8 auto maybe(no foot room).
Frame swap all depends on your skills.I set the cab to the front wheels,closed the gap between the cab/bed,then moved the rear axle back, O plus I moved the motor/trans back and still had to cut the firewall.
The truck is shorter than the 93 that I took the frame from but the wheel base is a bit longer.
(about a inch and a quarter)

poor little guys in the shop right now timing chain crapped out. but when i first got it it had about 14 inches of lift i took a 6 inch homemade body lift off. next thing on my list is rims and tires, i need to have alot of body work done it was rolled before i got it, theres about half an inch of bondo on the cab, then i plan on painting it.
