The motor was easy to fix after every one was pionting at the flexplate. As for the rest I am still thinking on the rear end and steering.

 

If you want to keep the truck mostly original go with a 57-72 Ford truck rear with a 3:25 to 3:50 ratio and convert the steering to a Toyota box. That should give you the 60-65 mph cruising speed you want and power steering...

 

Would a 82 ford 150 9'' fit or would it take to much cutting down to fit? Where do I get info on the toyota steering sounds like every one like that.
