Just wondering if this will work, here is what I have to work with.....
1982 solid axle frame in mint condition (for wisconsin), that has all of the AA adapters and a healthy built 350 chevy to 350t to toyota AA t-case with all custom made driveshafts. 6" lift, yada yada yada....
Fairly decent 82 sr5 cab with sunroof (for sale if this works)
Friend of mine, knows where I can get a 2wd 94 T100 reg cab long box with a shot engine (3.0 suprised it is bad).
I found that the wheelbase is 121.8" for the T100 regular cab and also the T100 extended cab.
What exactly is the wheelbase for the 82 reg cab long box. The FAQ seems to vary for that year?
Will the T100 body/box, fit on a older style frame, or is the T100 frame wider?
Would the front two body (by Rad)mounts on the T100 line up with the 82 Frame mounts? I know that a 89 cab will line up on front mounts and under feet mounts on a 85 frame.
If the wheelbase is close, I can make it work. I figure, install the T100 rear axle to the 82 frame and run spacers in front to make up for the width diff. Then install the cab/box and wire it all in.
I thought about doing a spring over on the t100 frame, but I Think the cab swap would be the easier route.
Any info, flames, offers are appreciated
