Edited: 12/11/2005 1:44:55 PM by rollinjunk

were still working on body dropping an 85 toyotat pickup but we can't figure where and how to cut the firewall, and what to do about the trans crossmember, I would really appreciate any advice, or tips or anuthing about this BD

these pics arent from my truck but they helped me. just take sections from the floor and above the tranny how far the cabs gonna drop. the tranny crossmember...just make on that is above the framerails.







good luck with the BD!!!

I think personally, that if you cut the back wall kinda low so that it's like 3-5"s above the tranny hump on the rear wall that looks the best plus, then you can just overlap the back cab wall instead of trying to mate up sheetmetal.

In the firewall I think as far up on the vertical as you can make a line to cut then mark your second/low side line (however many inches you're bd'ing, 3,3.5,4"s) you'll have to put some new sheetmetal in the front floorboards.

on the sides try to cut it so that you can get the longest line from then back cab to the firewall, remember tho that you'll have to make a little zig/zag around that front body mount kinda by the kick panels.

Time_1, those are some great fucking pictures! Thanks for sharing those. I think that will help me out a lot.
