any chance you west of thunderbay, cause there are 3 mid to late long box single cab yotas with decent frames at a scrap yard here in winnipeg.

 

Wow that frame is rotton. If it were myself I wouldnt try to repair or replace the rear section of this frame.

There should be some real good frames still around and it wouldnt de a hard deal to change over the cab and bed to another frame.

I have an 87 extra cab long bed 2wd and I always wash the under side after winter or mudding excersions. I just take my floor jack to the car wash and jack up the truck and wash it real good.

I wish my sheetmetal looked as good as yours.

I see you live in canada so when you find another frame you might consider powder coating it so that it wont rusy through again.

i see frames like that here, not toyota specifiically since none survivedhere cept virtually only mine, but my body is rotted out that frame is,

you sure thats an 84 ?

why does it not have wing vent glass doors ?

thats wierd

i thought all pre- 89 had wing vent glass doors like my 88 ext 4x2 does

interesting

nie body there, dont waste it, someone will jump on that ina heartbeat

try craiglist.org, free ads and you can upload pics on it and such

someone will take it for sure

i would if it were down here

good luck

 

toronto.craigslist.org
ottawa.craigslist.org

trader.ca

check it all out
look up tacomas and try t100s, not sure if its the same or not

theres also many scrappers in the area depending if your in GTA or not

 

Here’s a loooooong shot

Go to your nearest Toyota dealer and tell them to do an international search for the following part# for an entirely brand new frame (which ever applies to your truck)

51002-35191 (short bed reg cab) listed on 1sttoyotaparts.com at $745.47
51002-35301 (long bed reg cab) listed on 1sttoyotaparts.com at $945.48

I've gotten some VERY hard to find parts this way as well as some of the very last parts to exist on the earth for my 84 SR5 4X2

 

Thank you very much for the responces.

I should be picking up the truck later on this morning, friday november 10th.

I will try to get down to toyota and order that frame, hopefully is not tonns of money.

And for the chap near winnipeg, how much were they asking for the frames?


Also, what other model and year frames would be compatible for this application.

I am also 99.9% sure its a 1984.

Thanks!

 

any chance you west of thunderbay, cause there are 3 mid to late long box single cab yotas with decent frames at a scrap yard here in winnipeg.

I am in ottawa, but i would make the drive out there to pick up a frame. Just depends on the price!

 

i'll drop by tin man and general scrap and see what their asking, all you probably need to do is sand blast and paint it. but there must be a few scrap yards closer to ya, last time i made that trip it took us 2 1/2 days.

 

I will call some scrap yards around the area to see what they have.

I will keep everyone posted.


not to nag, but anyone know of other frames I can use for this truck?

found this about 1 hour from my house. The 2 questions is will it fit and I wonder how much the frame is rotted on this one. I spoke to the man in charge and he said it was pretty good. Looking at the pictures though, could be the same deal as minel

 

well a frame here goes for 400. acutaly thats for all thats left on the truck, not bad but all of them have the motors half striped and the odd panel or interior piece gone.

 

Wow that is some frame rot, with the motor and body in such good shape I would start calling salvage yards and I am thinking that 84-88 should swap over without issues. That frame is beyond repair. Its odd how the frame is so bad and the body so good.

 

member 1radtoy is doing a complete frame off restoration on a 84-88 turbo truck. he lives here in south FL. he's on this site and toyotatruckworld and cardomain.com under the same name. He doesn't seem to respond to pm's though.

where are you abouts anyways?

I am in ottawa, ontario.

I will keep everyone updated on the truck. I will go take pictures today I sold the topper, and the truck is now in my possesion.

 

if you dont have a grinder, welder and some other misc metal tools id go buy some, go to a scrap yard and look for the frame sections... if you have a u pull it or self service yard you could get a battery powered saw zall and cut it from the cab back.. the rest is a simple grafting process. you could get some cardboard and cut it to match the frame you have now and then use it as a stencil to cut out a new frame from some 3/16 steel. one template should be good because both sides are symetrical. the junm yard idea would be easy but the custom template would be a nice challenge and you could go alot farther into like doing a 4 link or something wild like that. not sure about ypur fabricating skills and motovation...

Thanks for the info, I have a welder saw and all that stuff, only thing is the welder is not that powerfull, does this matter? for the first part I just need to pass the safety to get the bloody thing on the road. I guess I could make a template and fab something up. It may be a real botchy job as it would be the first time I do this. So you believe the frame can be fixed?

 

absolutely.... and what kind of welder... a 110v 80 amp flux core or stick welder would be about the bare min but if its just a stick welder youve got alot of work ahead.. i hope you have a wire feed at least. if your not into fabricating the whole shibang.... get a battery powered sawzall or find a salvage yard who will sell you the back half of the frame.... just take lots and lots of measurments and just tack it in place to test fittment with the bed and such so it all lines up.

I have an ark to my dispossal, also 225 amp. I got grinders and stuff. When I start this project I will take the first pictures of me grinding or sand-blasting down the rear end of the truck

I can't seem to find a frame around here. but first I will take it to a welder to see what kinda quote he gives me.

What is the number of the wreaking yard? I will call them and see how much it is to ship to ottawa.

 

New pictures of the truck, I brought it home today.

 

i'm heading out to the scrap yard area of the city on saturday, i'll ask around and see whats availble then i'll send you a list. i can't believe you can't find a frame closer to you.
