yeah they do some great vids.....some of them can get a bit commercial (but hey they gotta get paid) showcase some awesome rigs and places

Thats one cool looking truck Danny, looking forward to seeing it up and running.

thanks, me too, it's a little overwhelming looking at the pile of parts currently as literally everything has been stripped out the only wiring is back in is the tail lights, I've got boxes and boxes of stuff that I didn't remove and don't know where it came from or if it needs to go back in and in what order.....would be nice to have a second one to look at a few things but I'm yet to find any one I know with 1 that's reasonably local

I will get there but the unseen stuff will take a lot more time than the finishing touches

Do you have a spare pto Danny?

No PTO on mine, I will be running a Runva when it's all finished

In that configuration it has a passing resemblance to similar vintage Ford bronco. Not the weeney eddie baurer jobby, the proper ones.
Whilst i would like one of them with a 302c. 351c or even whats in my galaxies a good old 400, a barra as you suggested would probably be perfect.
Not too heavy, injected and if you found one with a hair dryer, way grunty

Lots of work in installing a barra. I looked into it for my build. Barra the world have all the bits you need to do the conversion.
I went for a 15bt in mine out of a dyna or toyoace. Mainly because I could use the existing engine mounts, keep it toyota, and simple mechanical injection with no computer

I believe the 12ht will bolt into the engine mounts from the 3f.

Just a few 40s. Lots of the parts bolt on and a have a few bits and pieces for 60 series. Let me know if you need anything if I don't have it it's likely I know who does.

actually chasing a few pics for assistance putting some of the under dash stuff back in etc ? and a pic of the middle rad support brace in situ as well ? unless you know someone with a mint or new center grill for twin square headlight front ? pm me your cell number if that's ok ?

Hopefully it will go good. Probably another 18 months to get it finished I reckon

I test drove an import cruiser with factory 15bt. Could really go, accelerate like a petrol with huge torque. Red line alarm went off at 115 MPH !
