Hi
I have a running 85 4runner with a rusted body and an 86 frame and body (no drivetrain). The 85 has a dual cases, hi-steer, a 6" lift, 33's, adn no rust on the frame. The 86 has no drivetrain, but the body, wiring harness, and dash is already there. My two options are to put the 86 body on the 85 frame or put the 85 drivetrain in the 86. If I do the later, I'll have to put the front spring hanger on for the SAS. My question is which option would be the easiest?
Thanks,
Wilson

put the body on your '85 frame. much easier than swapping the whole drivetrain over, and the bodies should be exactly alike oh, and get some 35s or take a couple leaves out of your packs... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Thanks,I was leaning towards the cab swap. By the way, my truck was stolen and came back with the 6" lift and a few other goodies. It was missing a few other goodies as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> Wilson
