So I'm trying to everything possible to save my factory turbo 86 truck, 4x4.
First off, the frame is just plain shot.
Second Off, Both footwell cab mounts are coming through the floor, can see clear through on the driver side, plus a bunch of other rust areas that arent through yet, but could be easily punched through with a screwdriver, spots on the firewall, front of the wheel wells, it's just bad.
3rd, the bed is... rearended though not to bad, Needs both wheel well patch panels and front and rear of the wheels lower patch panels. Pry cheaper to replace it too.
I've done a lot of work to drive train already, been through the rearend, front end, clutch and resealed the trans and transfer case, though I didn't pretty it up to much.
Anyway, a roller with a shucked engine, trans, axles, whatever I think would be best for me, take the interior, whatever.
Gotta be the no a/c cab with corner vent windows.
Thats what I'm looking for, frame, cab, bed, no frills, fixable.
Not sure what my wheelbase is, longbed maybe? What's the measurements?
I've been told, that any same wheel base frame from 86-95 can made to work with maybe minor modifications, can anyone speak to that at least?
