lol alright, no need to take offense to it...it wasnt meant that way. I have no problem with yota's (wheelers atleast) and respect them alot because they have some pretty sick ****...im just super jelous of their aftermarket....cuz i wish it was as easy to get a doubler kit as it is for them lol

You're going to tear apart a highboy!?

The body/frame was so rotten it was no longer road worthy. I dont think it was a highboy. I got the tcase and axles in trade for breaking the truck into parts.

SAS pictures by blhde - Photobucket

You can see it had no doors or hood when I got it. Then it left me on a trailer.

If it had a divorced transfer case it was a highboy, unless someone swapped it in to this truck.

Yea that thing is in pretty bad shape

But I can see its either a 78 or 79 so it wouldn't be a highboy, very interesting
