Fixing to start my 1st prerunner build, been building trucks for years and this is a style i've wanted to build since i was a kid. This was originally my wifes truck but now its time for its second make over. Did a sas swap about 6 yrs ago and drove the hell out of it, was rolled in my back yard on a b-day party one year and it just keeps going. I'll try to post pics as progress comes, plans are straighten out body, FiberwerX front fenders, paint, and new 35s to start with.

Pulled cab off swapped in a cleaner frame, removed 79 dana 44 front, new vavle cover gaskets and oil pan gasket, new poly body mounts...

[steve-oh]

Heres what it looks like now. Waiting on fenders and new bed has to be finished

[steve-oh]

Some new rubber as well and back to the factory wheels, for now

I have a feeling this thing is gonna be sweet.

[steve-oh]

I think its going to be pretty cool, there are no prerunners around here at all that ive seen, but quite a few raptors though. I did find a half built bronco that had a giant motorsports 4 inch over beams, arms,coilovers and a full cage with racing seats, solid body,brand new toyo 35s and wheels with fiberglass up front for 1500 and drove it on the trailer....i passed that deal on to my boss, but thats what started all this.

That thing sounds like one heck of a deal at $1500!

[Rmc]

Serious deal for that price! But then agian in an area outside of the desert people probably just thought someone got carried away with a welder.

[steve-oh]

Whats the best size uniball for the beam piviots?

[steve-oh]

From what i've read it looks like a 1inch uniball cause it slides into where the original bushing goes, any one recommend a place to get them from

You can get them at Kartek or Mackenzies, (actually a lot of places but those two come to mind) most use a 1" uniball. You will have to hole saw out the old bushing/sleeve then weld in the cup.

[Rmc]

Offroad warehouse ( orw.com) sells them also

[hobbyturnedobsession]

Where are you located? I know my welding supply place in elsinore carries them also.

[steve-oh]

Ill check those places out. Im in central florida too, started on skinning the front fenders for fiberglass any advice on the front glass? Gonna do a search and see what i can find for now

Autofab has a good rep for glass. Travisfab on here is in the business to so maybe he'll chime in.

[steve-oh]

Spoke with travis couple of weeks ago, glass should be here monday

Next step is to grab so coilovers was thinking some 12s any advantage going to 14s? Doing cut and turned beams, 35s and keeping the a/c.

You could fit either one with ac. You would just gain more down travel within the limitations of your steering. Not sure what u plan on running in the steering dept so not sure an advantage of 14's over 12's. if u run swingset style u can utilize either. Without swingset your travel will be dependent on the max angle the balljoints can handle.
