Ok I cant resist doing a build thread so here it is. For the first time in a long time this project is actualy MINE! I know, weird.
I drove a friends mostly stock toy a while ago and realized that I missed driving one, plus my free air montero died last fall, so. I knew I wanted another DD/ mild wheeler/ hunting vehicle and I remembred that a friend had a destroyed 91 sitting next to his shop, it belonged to some kid related to him who destroyed it in a atempt to get incurance money plan backfired bla bla bla. The body was hashed and the engine had a rod knock but I figured I could find a cab and get the engine rebuilt so I bought it for 200 bucks. While looking for a cab I found a complete truck, another 91 a block from my house (ok Jason found it) 4by reg cab body in decent shape 33's rare 4 cyl sr5 dash $1000 obo. I bought it for $870 and drove it home. There were a bunch of little pidly things wrong with it but hey,I have another 91 parts truck so fixing it up was no problem. I drove it for a bit but 33's and stock gears was iritating, I planed to build it anyways so I bought a detroit to replace the arb I had stolen to put in the front of the re-ntal out of my new 4.88 v6 3rd I had built a few years ago and put it in the rear of whitey. Much beter gearing plus fun drifting corners in the wet!
So now it's time for the full build of the truck. I know some people will wonder why put so much time effort and money in to a DD but it will get wheeled, just not around here, aka reiter.
The victim, whitey.
