Project: MA-MA 4x4

Well as ive been working on my truck, ive decided to make a project thread on it. Its a 1987 Mazda B2600 4x4. When i first bought the truck the guy told me that it had a knock in the motor and that he had parked it since '07. I took it to a friend of mine's uncle's house and went to work trying to find the knock. At first we believed it to be the timing chain but after putting in a new kit it still sang the same tune. Well after sitting around for a few months scratching my head i got a break. A friend of mine wrecked his dakota into some mailboxes. he and another friend were talking about what they were going to do with the 360 in the Dakota when i came up with the bright idea of putting the 360 in the other guys D50. therefore i got a perfectly good 2.6 out of the d50. so now im working on swapping the motor out......Anyways enough blabbering heres the pics.

pssssst.... we're out numbered!!!!

looking good bro

nice truck bro make me miss mine lol

thanks for the comments guys...thought i was gonna get flamed because plans are to lift my mazda not bag it. No disrespect to the bagged guys but i would be disowned were i live at if i had a low truck...lol

pretty much as long as its a truck here you're alright. only 2 of us got lowered trucks tho. cars aint as cool in my redneck group.

hey futrao... how'd you git 5" of lift?

3 inch body lift (i used a 2001 ford ranger body lift on my b2600i, i used most of the parts that came in the kit excect for the bolts, i had to buy bolts for my truck) , 2 inch block lift in the rear and crancked t-bars up front. my trick was a high milage truck so i could only get 2 inches outta the t-bars. there was a guys on mazdatruckin web site that has a low milage 4x4 and he was able to get 3 inch outta the t-bar but i asume if u re-index the t-bar invert to how we do it to lower the 2wd u can be able to get 3 inch up front and mach it with a 3 inch block in the back

Yea bout the same here.

nice 4x4

thanks man....Sorry for no updates its been raining for 3 days straight. Ive painted a few parts just out of boredom, buts its just small stuff. hopefully working on it this weekend when all this rain subsides.
