tilt front end

[503m715]

I think Barry flipped the centers on those wheels. Removed the rivets turned the rim and welded if I recall right. Tacoma ended up with the frame from that truck. He might have some pictures of the front without sheet metal on it.

im looking at the tilt thay added and i like it as for adding bracing i dont think it would be that bad and frame flex im not so shure about my m37 wasent that bad but this ant a m37

Frame flexing is not the issue, . . the front wrap flexing and tearing the sheet metal is where the flex issue is. The metal is supported by the firewall when it is bolted in place, it doesn't have that support with a tilt setup. It just swings down and rests on the firewall at the cowl, but no support on the sides for the weight of the fenders, etc. Bracing the radiator would not be a big deal. . ..

I saw this truck when at Tacoma's a couple years ago. He had the front clip and cab from another truck on it then with stock M35wheels. We checked it out quite a bit and he never mentioned a tilt front. Where's he been anyway?
