Custom fork lift
Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 3:13 am
For those of you who like to follow my weird and wacky projects, here's another one you won't see to often.
I do a fair bit of fabrication work in my business so I needed a forklift. I purchased an old 1985 Toyota. As you can see by the photo's it was no looker. I stripped it down to it skeleton and rebuilt it from the ground up including the motor and added a few new things to make it unique such as duel chrome exhaust stacks. I custom built a front aluminum checkered plate sun visor and also a custom built rear light bar that has all LED and strobe lights on it. Not sure if you can see the difference from start to finish. Enjoy and ride safe. Paul
