It was 36" from the back of the cable to the middle of the rear axle on my 1992 SR5 4x4 V6 with Extended Cab. I decided to pass on this project, it would have cost me a small fortune to stretch the frame on the '92 ... I am capable of doing it myself, but the government won't certify the work and allow it to pass safety unless a professional frame shop does the work. I just stumbled on a 1981 Triple E Micmac IV (26') for $1800 CAD and it's only got 50,640 km's on it ... needs a little front end work (ball joints, idler arms, rear axle seals and some markers fixed). The body, chassis, interior, and exterior are mint ... I couldn't say no ....

Yes, it's a 1992 SR5 4x4 XtraCab with the V6 and a standard transmission. The cab is fully loaded. If I recall, I was lucky and had the 4:10 gears in the pumpkins. The frame was in great shape (I swapped it with another where the cab was beyond repair) so I cleaned it up and painted it with a harnder / anti-rust paint for frames. Which springs are recommended for this conversion? Anyone have a cab weight? If you have any links to others who have done this mod, it would be greatly appreciated.... all I can find so far is this: 1992 Toyota SR5 4x4 XtraCab V6 Wheel Base - 121.9 in. Length - 193.1 in. 1976 Toyota Pickup (N25) (it's mounted on a 76 right now but was originally on a 75) Wheel Base - 101.6 in. Length - 184.0 in The biggest challenge I'd imagine is the distance between the cab and wheel well (centre of rear axle) Does anyone have any closeup photos they could supply of where the coach is attached to the cab? Thanks for your help, Zach!

Hey everyone, I'm new around here but I've been lurking. I've owned more Toyota vehicles than I can remember, and I've rebuilt many of their trucks. In fact, I have a 1992 SR5 4x4 XtraCab sitting that I replaced the cab corners and rockers on, along with the front end components. It runs perfect but it's missing a truck bed. I may have acquired a 1975 / 1976 Chinook coach. I'm going tomorrow to see the coach, and if it's in good enough shape, I'll take it regardless if it fits my '92. Here are my questions, hopefully someone has answers: 1. Do you know of anyone who has mated a Chinook to a '92 4x4 SR5 XtraCab ? 2. What is the distance from the rear of the cab to the centre of the rear axle? 3. How many bolts to mount the coach to the frame? 4. What springs are recommended for the rear? Will I need to upgrade the rear axle? 5. Anything else I should know? I have all the tools, welder, and mechanical experience with Toyota trucks, ranging from '84 to current. Thanks in advance for the answers or any tips / leads you can provide to point me in the right direction!
