In this video I continue work on my 1988 Toyota pickup. This old work truck started life as a carbureted 22r base model that had no options, with no power steering or air conditioning, no fuel injection, no radio, and no passenger mirror from the factory! I swap over the entire 2rz to the pickup. In an attempt to fix it I couldn't find an afforable stock replacement, but found a wrecked 1999 Toyota tacoma for $500 and figured out exactly what I wanted to do with the pickup. I completely stripped the tacoma down to a bare shell and started transferring everything possible to the 88' pickup.
At the end of part one, I have both trucks stripped and I've started the long process of fitting all the new parts onto the old chassis. In part two, I start work on the drivetrain, I get the transmission mounted and move on to making custom engine mounts and fabricating a complete oil pan to clear the chassis components.
In part three, I pickup with having found quiet a bit of metal flake in my 2rz oil pan. after seeing that, I pull all the rod and main bearings and replace them, so I can have confidence in the engine. After completeing that I move onto assembling the truck and getting all the odds and ends wrapped up. Come along to finish the swap, boost the truck, and take it to the dyno and track!
