Rodeo Mud Truck

Post by djmMQ »

This all started a few months ago when i scored a 1982 KB Diesel Rodeo 4WD for a load of firewood!
Our original intentions was to use it to deliver firewood, but on its maiden voyage, loaded to the eyeballs with a load of wood, the front tortion bar suspension was that rusted out that it collapsed. Sent me accross the road into some lovely Australian flora and fauna.
After an immediate decision - Mud truck it is!
So out with the rusted and in with the 'not so quite' rusted...

So stripped them and prep'd them to go under.

The leaf springs are rear leaf springs from a 1983 TOYOTA HILUX
and 6 1/2 inch shackles
These are the front rear shackle mounts and spacers.
