I hope to get my 55 in a bit better shape over the summer. Figure I'll document my glacial progress here. I've owned it for 20 years, bought it off a dealer lot here in Boise in 1999. Here's a pic from 15 years ago or so. I should add, it's a 10/72, 1973 with a 4 spd swapped in, original F, electronic ignition, later axles (disc. front) and mini truck power steering.

I was wondering if the 70 series Cruiser R151F gearbox input shaft lengths were longer in more recent years vs the 1985 or 1986 thru mid 1990's models? I knew on the R150 & R151 USA model mini trucks 86-95, versus the 96+ Tacoma R150's, that the 86-95 had a shorter input shaft @ around 6.5", and that the Tacoma era R150 had a 1" or so longer input shaft @ 7.5". The only mini truck R151F models where on the 86-87 22RTE turbo 4cyl pickup trucks, and they definitely had the 6.5" input shaft... Read more

Hi all, I have spent hours searching different drawer system photos regarding fridges or coolers. 90% of these photos are just glamor shots of the fridge sitting inside the rig all tucked away on the drawer system. I just picked up a used ARB drawer system in the classifieds (thanks!) with the drawer slide, but its so high I don't know how accessible it would be if I bought a fridge. I see there's now a mini-revolution of slide/tilt brackets to angle the fridge down a little, as my setup... Read more

Here we go again . We don't normally get donors in this nice of shape. The lack of rust may spoil us . A 97 triple locked collectors edition came across our path. It' was someone's mistake off BAT sadly about the only thing good on this rig was the body. Through out this thread I will point out stuff we found that may help other who use BAT to avoid such a costly mistake. 1st being do not buy anything where they use painters tape on the mass air flow . ...

Finally Inspired enough to start a build thread on this beauty I scored a few years ago by mere chance!

Purchased a 40 out of the classifieds, made a deal a while back and finally was able to pick it up. After blowing the roof off on the highway, stopping to get it, strapping it back down and getting the 160 miles home at 1am I own a 40.. It’s very complete. But I’m a newbie and only know what I’ve read so I’m far from fluent on these things. What I do know is it’s a 1969, 4 speed swap, mini truck non vented discs. Front bench and jump seats were included in the purchase along with a box... Read more

Hi all. Those who know me may not know that I was into the minitruck scene for awhile. As I was thinking about what I wanted to draw next, I came across a really cool mini truck owned by Brian Gobin with Hillside 4x4. I don't know if he has a mud account. Brian is a great connection and he helped connect me with the 1-ton axles that are currently under my Cruiser. I should have this graphic finalized today and I am open to suggestions. I haven't had a minitruck in quite a few years so I... Read more
