This project started with the frame, engine and rear axle of a 1985 4×4 Pickup.
The frame was cut in front and a ’32 Ford font crossmember was installed. The rear of the frame was cut to the back of the cab and Z’d with new material.
There is a ’36 ford front axle that has been drilled, with split wishbones that mount through the frame( not on tabs hanging below the frame). The wishbones have been drilled through with full width bushings welded in place to mount the Posies front spring behind the axle in a true suicide set-up.
The wishbones are set at 2 degrees uphill and the axle sets about 6 1/2 degrees with the current tires.
The axle has new production spindles, ’42-’48 f100 bearing conversion and front brakes(backing plates, hubs, drums and some internals from ’53-’55 f100)
The factory motor mounts were moved rearward 3″ to provide correct clearance for firewall and to shift weight.
A ’36 Ford wishbone was converted to pseudo ladder bars, extended and mounted to the transmission crossmember at front, and mounted to adjustable shock towers at the axle, with a reversed wishbone top link and Posies 1/4 elliptical springs for a highly adjustable rear suspension( pinion angle/ladder bar angle/ ride height/side shift). The pinion angle currently set @ 2 degrees to match driveline angle as it sits in chassis.
1985 Toyota Pickup 4:11 rear axle
1982 Toyota Celica 5sp manual transmission( custom drive shaft has already been installed mating the car tranny with the truck axle)
Toyota 22R engine, .030″ over refurbished core from LC Engineering, basically stock setup with custom jetted Weber 32/36 carb. Approximately 10k miles on the engine while still in the pickup before chopping for this project.
Brand new never run Davis Unified Ignition, with advance curve designed around this projects weight and power expectations.
