Whats up guys, new to the community. From California I bring to you my 1987 B2200 project truck "Rollin Low."
It is a big work in progress at the moment, I paid $1800 for the truck already bodydropped with the front bagged. Interior for the truck was made before the bodydrop was done, so once the bodydrop was done and the floor was raised the panels and interior pieces didnt fit anymore so I ripped the dash out and I'm going to start everything from scratch on the inside.
Has either a 6 or 7 inch bodydrop, the rockers are cut off and the floors are raised 5 inches. When I got the truck all he had in the rear was the axle tack welded to the frame, I cut it off and welded the 4 link and bag brackets, sanded the frame down and primered it. Still need to get another air compressor, tank, dumps, switches and some more line to have the suspension set up but for now i just have lines to the bags with air valves to lift it up and drop it while im working on it.
Went to the junkyard got the missin chrome pieces around the windows, 2 new seats from a 93 Jimmy, has a phantom grille in the front, toyota front bumper with billet grill, flush tonneau cover, shaved door handles, tailgate welded and shaved, shaved the gas tank door, welded new fuel cell in the rear on the frame, have brand new caddy lights with new harnesses but i havent cut the tailgate out yet to put them in, plexiglass rear window with licensce plate frame
And the next picture is where it's at now. I just ripped the 4 cylinder apart, it is ready to be pulled out. Truck was sitting for 10 years, I am going to ressurect it with a Vortec V6 I have waiting on the side of the house, that should be fun putting it in. I will post pics of the progress along the way. Enjoy!

seen your Mazda in your signature, what rims are you tuckin on there? 20's? i got the 5 spoke 18" kmc's and those things barely get clearance to turn in the front. Nice truck

I'll post some more pics when I get home from work, right now I got 1 plys in the front and 2 plys in the back. It is a 3 5/8 bd also with about 2" of the rockers cut off the bottom so it's flat on the ground, floors raised maybe 4 or 5 inches and I still have head room surprisingly. Might take the jimmy seats out and put some buckets in. Right now I'm going to be getting to work on the motor, 4 bangers ready to come out and I'll post some pics of the Vortec. Gotta take a trip to the junkyard and grab a Chevy steering column. No a/c, heater, and windshield wiper cowl is gonna be gettin shaved soon so the cold seasons should be fun I take a lot of pictures from my iPhone so trust me you guys will be seeing some updates!

Alright just finished another night of work on the truck, and took a handful of pictures including the big bad Vortec going in the truck
Got home from work took the hood off and finished taking the old header and exhaust off. Cut out all the wires coming from the computer brain to the motor, all lines going to the motor are disconnected, took the driveline off as im going to get the chevy drive line to the toyota rear end made, took the starter out, took out the old catcon, threw it on jackstands and basically still gettin it prepped for the vortec to go in. took off the cowl and the windshield wipers, going to shave the passenger one and then i gotta grab a new motor from the junkyard as i accidentally tossed my old one. i was asked for pics of the bag setup so i took a few of the rear end, bags, 4 link, c notches and got a pic of the bags in the front. I thought i had 1 plys in the front but after double checkin i have 2 ply in the front and the rear. after jackin the truck up i got my first look underneath the truck, not gonna lie was a little scary. you can see where the rockers are cut off, and it even looks like he might have cut the bottom of the frame and boxed it back in. anyways, im passin out and i will bring you guys some more updates this week, 4 cylinder is getting pulled wedensday!
(and now for lots of pictures)
Highest the truck has ever been in its life
Driver side clear
Passenger side clear
Cant wait to floor it and watch the tires spin
All the wires and plugs from the brain to the motor
catty converter, driveline, exhaust, header and wires out
(taking a look underneath)
(suspension pics)
toyota rear end, driveline notched, frame notched and bags installed, 4 link installed
these bad boys will be in the tailgate soon
stay tuned!
