This 88 FJ62 rolled up to the shop for a 5.3L/4L65e/split case swap. Long story short, turns out this truck was smaked pretty hard in the right front corner and bent the frame pretty bad. Whomever "tried" to straighten the frame actually made it worse, past the point of repair. So a motor swap job quickly turned into a frame off with a donor frame from an 86 FJ60. Next issue was a spun idler shaft in the T-case which rendered the case junk.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, here ya go
