This is how it looked right before it was torn down

That first picture is what I started with that was right after I had the front bagged, the truck was a gift from my pops back a few years ago nd ive been slowly working on it ever since. So now that ive got a lil cash together what I have planned is a stock floor, along with a 5 lug conversion. As you can see things are already underway

Good luck its a lot of work to get it to lay on a big wheel. I'll tell you from exp. It's a lot easier with an auto then 5spd. I have a fronty 5spd and wow the amount of work to lay rocker on a 20

what was the main issue with your tranny? Right now the issue I have is what rear end to run, I was gunna go with a 86 Toyota rear but its not narrow enough for my application so I'm Stuck trying to find something else

bodied on 22's = narrowed axle, rear clip and front track. Pick a lug pattern and build around that... your probably not going to find a off the shelf axle to get this done.
