    So here’s a few pics of my conversion. Only doing it because there’s no 3rd Gen Single Cabs. I still need to align the hood, got to get the actual Toyota rubber stoppers. Fender Flares still need to be installed. The bed and rear end still needs to be done as well. Stay in tune for more pics and a final thread of how to go about doing this and all the stuff you need.E8D93CBA-6EDA-4C72-94F7-62A6A182177E.jpg 62609826-ED12-41A7-BDC8-12C14D47C9C6.jpg DD02B22E-16AE-414D-9C48-CEA56F0D0FD6.jpg 4C8DA2C2-180E-4A43-8EBE-4BF008FB72C1.jpg 0DBDB0E7-F454-4E66-B8E8-CCBBDF7B9CC0.jpg F1BF89B5-65BF-4A4B-826F-0F25218A958A.jpg 1E8C3726-DD47-4DCF-8E90-D7CE52F1FCA5.jpg 3974E3DA-7B17-4797-8B7A-9016E78E9FFF.jpg

    I think that's cool. Will be unique for sure. Are you just keeping it to exterior or doing the interior too?
