"take apart a stock set of rear springs and use the majority of the leaf sections in the front springs. Combine this with some spring rearching and your in you should be in good shape. You may also wish to upgrade to aftermarket lift springs"

Started work on the 84 Toyota Again - It's been a while!
OK after what has been a 2 year absence I am back working on my 84 Truck project. I've had another child since then and also built a new deck , driveway and completly finished the basement level of the house with two bedrooms, a bath and what can only be discribed as a Woman's perfect living room! Time for me to focus on my own projects for the warmer summer months and get my project truck done done done! If not I may have to apply to be on Search and Restore to get my truck done! A couple…See More

"I have had some success using 2 part epoxy on some tanks but others it will not stick to. You might also try lock tight red bearing clearance filler. This stuff will fill a crack well and is impervious to fuel once it hardens. High quality RTV…"

The Body is going on!! well only to build the wiring and start the engine

Building up an 1984 Toyota SR5 Pickup - Yes it will be V8 powered and built to take on the Canadian Winter!
Ok...Time to get everyone up to speed. I am two thirds of the way through what has turned into a complete rebuild of my old trusty 84 Toyota pickup.
For those in the south....this truck is a 25 year veteran of the Canadian winter....Its really "holly" but was in one piece when I started 2 years ago. I've owned it for 7 years and did replace most of the body pannels and fixed the typical frame issues when I first bought it. Since then It's taken a beating...Moslty hauling building… Continue
