MilesFox Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have a 1990 1 ton truck, u-haul spec, 3.0 v6, automatic, dually rear axle (10 ft u-haul) i also have for parts a 1990 4runner 3.0v6 4wd automatic. i am wondering if any of the transmission or 4wd is swappable onto the 1 ton, or at least what is worth keeping from the 4 runner before i scrap it. the 4 runner has the same engine, but the engine does not spin and there is no coolant. hopefully i could get this 4 runner to run. aside from that, i have swapped the front fenders, hood, bumper and grille to the u-haul i am going to swap the instrument cluster to have a tach, and the odometer is within 1000 mile difference door panels with pockets look like they will fit also. maybe the rear tire carrier will fit on the u-haul for extra security and to make a cargo mount.

TheLoyale Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Now is the U-haul 4WD? If not then the extra holes for the axle may not be on the frame, but I would assume the tranny would be the same, or at least mount up the same, just minus the T-case. I would strip the locked up engine of anything (For extra, side of the road use) Thats my $0.02 -Tom oh and, what engine does the '90 run? I know the '88 Hilux has the 22RE.

MilesFox Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 this has the 3.0 v6 between both trucks. i am told a 5spd manual will swap in, and may as well put in a supra straight six! my 78 camper has a 20r, 2.2 manual 4spd, sort of the ea81 version of the toyota u-haul:rolleyes: half ton axle, single tire the u-haul is dual axle, 1 ton it looks like the fame is different as far as the front crossmember is taller on the 4wd, and welded to the frame. i would assume the front half of the frames would have to be chopped in, and somehow adapt the 1 ton hubs onto the front axle. the 4 runner wheels are almost twice as big as the 14 inch wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I aggree, the 5spd will most likely bolt up, I mean I dout Toyota made two diffrent bolt patterns for the Auto and Manual bell housings. I didn't think about trying to adapt the 1-ton hubs on to the 4WD axle. Hmmm. That would be cool to have a 4WD 1-ton u-haul Toyota! "Move in any weather" Haha. So all in all, what are you keeping off the 4-runner? besides what you listed before. On a side note, where was that Alliance meet you were just at? I like the air intake on trashwagon lol, one guy said it was a turbo Hehe :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Frames should be the same, welding will be required. If anyone here can do it, it'd be you Miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the air intake on trashwagon lol, one guy said it was a turbo Hehe :-p those videos were shot almost 5 years ago, back in april of o5. it was only 3 years ago since ihad the tapes captured to dvd, 2 years ago since i had a computer with software, a year ago when i last uploaded, and finally now for that batch of videos. there will be a good 175 toatal videos from that catch of tape. they can be redundant, but there was no such thing as youtube when i shot the stuff originally.

TheLoyale Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Damn 5 years ago Lol. I did notice when the girl was filming while you were driving, I cought a glimps of the camera in the mirror and saw it was a VHS camera, I was kinda like, huh? Thats alot of footage, Anyhoo enough rambling. I agree with Brian, if anyone could weld it up, you could. -Tom Edited October 15, 2009 by TheLoyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
