I am starting to tear into my old 81 Toyota longbed so I can make a wheeler for my oldest son. Currently i have a beat up pickup, needs new motor. I tore the poor whipped bed off of it. Just tonight i did score a 87 efi 4 cyl with the computer harnesses, trans etc with 63k orig. miles on it for $400. so basically that is what i have to work with. My son loves the bobbed idea. He actually wants to do something like Commando's Jeep bed. I am open to suggestions, comments etc. Oh it does have a 5spd trans/xfer case out of i believe a 94 Toyota 4cyl...
