rolled my 82
So I rolled my first gen last night, Probably wouldn't have happened if I had power steering, but I just let her go too far. I was cruisin down this rocky sandy hill at greenhorn and the steering wheel just took off to the left up this bank and over I went. Was not buckled in, could have been much worse.. Started no problem 3rd try, love the 4 bangers.
Im thinkin cab swap, 1st 2nd or 3rd gen single cab, or maybe an extra cab and shorten the bed. Anyone know what cabs bolt up and which ones might not? (obviously the xtra cab is going to have 2 extra body mounts)

yeah if I can find a first gen cab thats really clean I will, but I know a buddy who wants to trade some stuff for a 2nd gen xtra cab that is really fresh and has a sunroof, with modifications, I think I can pull it off, it is heartbreaking to have one less "first gen" out there on the road but It will still be just in a different form. No way am I parting it out.
Oh yeah, its a long bed too so I could shorten the bed from the front to accomodate the Xtra cab.
Anybody out there who has swapped from single to extra cab feel free to comment. Thanks-

Dude that sucks! An X-cab would be cool and I don't think it would be too tough to add a couple body mounts so long as you can weld. Time for a roll cage though, good luck.

That's sucks. Glade no major injury. Could do a pre 1st gen 4wd4runner cab. The mid 72-78 cab. They were only avaliable in 2wd, considered 2nd gen toyota truck. Or stick with 4wda 1st gen.

Yeah Im hearing alot of First gens thanks igotit, but I think luisiana is a little too far from here I'd like to keep it Cali, as far as the windshield and that crap yeah I grabbed it. Does anyone know the smog legality, if it depends on the cab or the frame VIN? cuz It would be ideal to go presmog. 2wd.

I think the job of verifying the VIN falls to a DMV official or police officer in California. And the only thing a smog tech checks is the registration, scans the bar-code, and then the VIN is in the machine. I do have a smogtech friend who i could ask about these things if you'd like.

I'm in Utah, there is a guy in Salt Lake that's advertising a first gen 4x4 for parts. His ad says it's mostly complete. his name is Josh 801 836-7232. I know it's a ways to go but there you are.
