  • Doable... a 2WD Toyota Xcab pickup, a rear axle out of a Y'all-Haul, and a flared-side bed kit. Or a bare X-cab cab & short bed, a Y'all-Haul complete chassis, and a bed kit. That way the F & R wheels are the same; looks to be what's been done in the ad. Be simpler to just buy a 'bago or Dolphin on a 1-ton Toyota, tho'. Fun project, but.... Much as I love my ol' '95 SR5 4x4 pickup with less than 70k on it, I don't think this'd be worth the effort unless the parts just fell into your lap.

  • Got one in my dad's backyard. It is a Chinook.

    I would not call it a one ton but you never know. I guess I never looked for a door sticker. Might have to do that next time I am up there.
  • Toyota 3/4 & 1 tons where common for that era. Toyota's where popular for small commercial trucks with custom boxes and delivery shells. They where totally gutless though. I drove a couple and hated them when it came to hills. I always worried about the brakes too, but they seemed to do okay.
  • What ever it is and I ASSUME! This is the straight skinny. It sure is one nice looking rig.
  • haha.. Compact one ton? Not quite sure what I'm looking at. Orangevale.. That's where I moved from 9 years ago.
