You are gay.

P.S. If you haven't realized cruisers are wannabe jeeps, hence the fj, fake jeep....which makes mine a helluvalot better than yours. :flipoff2:

P.S.S. You are still gay.

So what's the plan on this? You really can't use much from your 70's truck as far as drivetrain goes because the d60 is wrong side drop. I'm guessing your wanting to SAS it too?

sas and the 241/205 doubler

You going to make your own bracket's and mounts or order a kit from ORD?

i was looking at the DD machine one

careful he's popping a stiffy over your truck as a truggy

that thought has crossed my mind, its gonna be a pig pen, but gas and newer!!!

yeah, go 241 doubler. **** cheap jeeps, just throw the axles in, weld some **** up, but in a doulber and flog it

Plus I love the sound of cruching **** metal

As I've said before, the happy medium for a wheelin rig is halfway between a fullsize and a jeep-sized vehicle. You can start at either end of the spectrum and work your way towards the middle. I find it cheaper to start at the large end and chop and hack my way down than to start at the small end and lengthen, clearance and stretch my way up.

Or you could just say "**** building anything" and run whatcha brung...

If you build that truck all you'll have is a big piece of **** with some decent axles. It'd be just as easy to build an s10 or dakota. The s10 can be found cheap with the 4.3 and do the 231/d300 doubler, and the dakota is common with the 3.7 v6 and not hard to find with the 318 v8, and a d300 bolts up in it. I can't figure out why more people don't build these instead of the no powered ifs toyodas. You're gonna swap axles anyway and doublers are just as available, so might as well get a truck that's allready got a real motor. And they cost a couple grand less to start with.

I agree... I'd do an S10. I actually looked for S10 cabs for a while to put on the blazer frame.
