Full factory boxed frame with disc brakes, adjustable torsion bar front suspension, 22RE engine and 5 speed.
I converted the EFI to old school intake with a Weber carb and installed a standard points type distributor. It has all Toyota components such as the clutch and brake cylinders and pedal assemblies. It has a Toyota steering column with double U-Joint shaft passing through a Craftsman 19mm wrench stabilizer bracket. It runs a stock Toyota radiator with a one off shell I built myself. I built the header as well. The cab is a 39 Ford, channeled 5" over frame and has all smoked glass. Front and rear glass trimmed in copper tubing. Seats are Honda Prelude, shifter by Bud, old school bar switches, no toggles here. Headlights are off road made ugly by me and feature fruit basket rock guards, headlight and mirror mounts are pipe wrenches, air scoop/cleaner is a miniature mailbox. Oil cap doubles as "on board GPS" via vintage compass. Car has air conditioning via the original air vent operated by a rather unique lever system. Dome light is miniature coleman lantern. Tail lights are miniature
old milk pails. The almost vintage looking cool wheels are compliments of Ford Ranger. A replica of the old moonshine still sittin'in the bed. The main fire,
water, and grits tank is the actual fuel tank, about 16 gallons. The final moonshine bucket can open to be a small storage place. It has Granny's Rumatiz Medicine on it and features granny's cup of "Beverly's Hillbillies" fame. The little truck is easy to maintain and drive and gets about 25 miles per gallon. Let me know what ya think.

Not crazy about the grill shell, but it's not mine, so I can't say anything bad about it. Skulls are not my thing,either, but if you like it, that's all that matters!
