Magnumcharger. Sorry I have not replied sooner but I thought this thread was pretty much dead as far as I was concerned and therefore had not checked back until now. Are you talking about selling the Toyota parts that you had previously acquired to do your Deora project? Can you explain why you deci...

Codger,

I spoke to a guy at Fatman that said that they have no parts or info available for A100 trucks. I was surprised t...

I know this is an old thread but I recently found this forum. I have a 1965 A100 pickup and want to know more about the rack and pinion setup and want to get rid of the front leaf springs. The question was always how can the steering be coupled to the rack due to the position of the forward mounted...
