The TH350/t-case adapter I had did not move the t-case at all, no crossmember/driveline mods needed. The SM420 was the same however I needed driveline mods because of the dual cases. I really liked...

Having done nearly that exact swap 20+ years ago, I may be able to help. The Toyota t-case is OK in most cases, it may help to beef it up a little later but for now it'll be just fine. For trannies,...

Doesn't really matter. Face it, if you're gonna do the swap, you're gonna get on the gas. Why else do it as it will cause more problems than it's worth if you drive it the same as the original...

Having done this swap many years ago, I would strongly advise against trying to keep your stock tranny.

You don't specify 2 or 4-wheel-drive. If it is 4WD, then yes, they are a direct swap. If they are 2WD then they will not swap.

No serious issues for a while but it certainly wouldn't hurt to get a replacement as soon as you can.

'84 Xtra Cab V-8

The time has come for me to sell my rig. Gas costs are just too high for what I make to keep it going. As such the truck has more-or-less sat for the last few years and needs some attention which I...

Instead of grafting the Toyota flywheel to the VW engine, wouldn't be simpler to use the VW flywheel and pressure plate and then sandwich a Toyota disc in between? I'm totally unfamiliar with the...

The Grand National swap should be essentially the same as a standard Buick 3.8 V6 swap-the oldest swap common to Toyota pickups. The turbo & intercooler will throw a bit of a wrinkle into the mix but...

I've seen the rear bench seat for Jeep CJ's used. Mounting is reasonably simple but you're not gonna fit anyone but small children back there as both headroom and legroom will be severely lacking.

If you have a complete donor truck for the diff, why not snag the accompanying driveshaft as well? Then the diff length issue is no more.

First off, I gotta ask; Why?

If you're 2WD, it is already spring under. If it's 4WD, you could probably use parts from a 2WD truck and just weld on a couple of new perches. I would not swap in the...

I prefer the '81-'83 models with the partial truss. The full truss on the later years makes u-bolt flips more complicated because of the squarish cross-section of the axle. The earlier ones still...

You're not likely to find the correct tap except from Heli-Coil. The tap is not a standard tap. It is a larger diameter to account for the thickness of the Heli-Coil insert.

Just ignore it. It isn't needed. By rotating the tire twenty times, you're introducing a factor of ten so a tenth of a driveshaft revolution comes to a hundredth of a point of gear ratio and Toyota...

The threads on your shifter are M12-1.25 which is roughly equivalent to 1/2-20 (fine thread). Anything with 3/8 threads will have to be drilled & tapped to fit.
