thanks and i will check it out. idk why people knock the toyota frames they are already boxed in and they look good and you cant tell if its a custom frame or not.

here is a link to one a guy has listed on ebay and i think its very nice and the frame is nice looking and goes along with the truck

They were, and after about '79 they had front disk brakes

Yes, you definitely can tell.

OK on a fendered vehicle, but they are almost always awkward and amateurish-looking when exposed...

I had this 39 cab and picked up a 78 Datsun B620 truck frame ten years ago for $100. I liked the fact it has disk brakes and I can set the ride hight up or down a couple inches with the torsion bar suspension. Has a 53 Merc setting in it. Its in the back of the barn and I haven't touched it much for the last five years. Too many other projects.

yota frame

Well I'm glad to see this thread. I have a toyota frame that I wanted to use under my 1926 Dodge sedan. Seeing other projects with this same setup gives hopes that this will work awesome for me.

I had one under a 36 Dodge truck cab. It looked pretty good, I never was satisfied with the rear spring setup though. It probably would have looked better with coil overs and a four link. I never did finish it, sold it after I got the Lincoln.

 

[AZRodDave]

Revisiting an old thread; I have an '82 Toyota pickup that I can't seem to sell off. Might just go ahead and part it out and keep the frame for a project. I have some old fenders to cover up the front end, engines and trans, and an old Ford F1 cab. Anyone got advice on this, or pics of a finished rat on a Toyota frame? Would be interested in seeing them.

Not Toyota, but I've used a lot of Mitsubichy Dodge D 50 frames from the 80s.

They are a lot of work to strip off all the attached stuff, but the rails narrow and kick up nicely in the front, and I just chop the rear part off and do the sq tube thing, or weld in a sub frame rear like T birds or Toyotas. Heres a few examples.

hey buddy. how you been?

 

[PA41]

Doing good. These folks here have always been real people, and since I retired recently, thought I'd visit a little bit. The glass 26 of Lindas burned up in a shop fire year or two back, and I recently snagged a Speedway body so thought I'd do a light, quicky build with some parts I have laying around. I'm kinda stuck in a seemingly never ending home remodel, and need to think about fun stuff. Did you move to Texas? I thought you were in Mississippi/ Alabama?

still in bama, i going home for thanksgiving. i'm going to your fire thread, i don't want to hijack this thread no more.
