After checking and looking on the net for a converson kit i did it my shelf.

first go find a 1980s toyota two wheel drive pick up , you will find that the 1974 luv spindle assy looks just like the toyota. The toyota is a little taler than the luv , no problem it all fits. the upper ball joint on the toyota will have to be machined to fit , the lower ball joint is the same size . The tie rod ends on the luv come in from the bottom , you will have to machine the toyota they come in from the top and thats all the machine shop has to do. make shure you get the rotor assy and caliper from the toyota. Use the toyota brake line . All this cost was 100.00 at the wrecking yard and 150.00 at the machine shop.You will also have to have the truck alined . ANY QUESTIONS CALL GARRY AT APPLIED AUTOMOTIVE 707-322-5723
