Shop Truck - 1980 Toyota, from Bob Grant to Seth Bomar

So I picked this truck up about 6 weeks ago from Bob Grant. Original plan was just to slap it together and drive it. Thats still basically the plan, but as always I tend to let things get a little out of hand.



I bought a bare 89 clip from Pick-N-Pull, and some used drop spindles.

Kinda jumping around a bit on it. Clip was narrowed.

Just trying to keep it clean and simple.

looks real good man. i have not seen you posting much on here lately. do you still make and sell a lot of parts for toys?

I dont get on here much.

I still sell arms and transmission cross members. Redesigning my arms right now to make them a bit more cost effective and include cross shafts with them.

i cant see what you did to the cross member to lower the motor, but i cant tell what you did to the motor mounts. can you explaine it a lil please.

looks super good seth.. how are you gunna mount up that sway bar.. an dwhere are you gunna mount up the shocks in front?

I made a fixture, cut them off the frame and dropped them down.

I assume you mean the front sway bar since the rear is mounted. I am going to build arms for it, shocks will go in the traditional location. Going to be a tight fit, want to fit limit straps on each corner as well.

okay, i get it now. thanks man.
