Changing Chasis From Standard 1984 Toyota Pickup


Recommended Posts

Hello all, i'm new here just purchased my first motor home and it happens to be a 1984 toyota sunrader. It was stripped of parts by the current owner to refurbish another Sunrader. Now he want to get rid of the parts sunrader and I ended up purchasing it for $200 sight unseen. regardless I was looking for a sunrader shell to rebuild and restore. part of my thought is to change the truck from a standard Toyota Pickup to a toyota 4x4 which would help give me a little better traction while driving on rainy days.

The thought I have currently is to just change the chasis to a 1st generation 4 runner chasis which i have access to and use the body frame from the original pickup model. Or i could wait to find a 1986-1995 toyota 4x4 pickup truck and just swap out the chasis and cab. Currently I have access to a 1989 toyota 4runner chasis and thought I could use it and the original cab which may bolt right up to the chasis. The other thing is I am looking for a 6lug full floating rear axle here in south florida for it as it currently has the 5lug rear axle.

This would give the updated chasis and suspension along with 4wd.

If any one has done or seen it done, please let me know. The chasis is there and is free for me.

Thanks
