Seems like this is your first adventure in carbs. A well lighted, clean work place will be very handy - looking for some part that fly's out during disassembly will be much easier in the above area. Pay attention to details (lots of pic's/vids...
Passed the CA smog test, again. It surprises me how well this old truck does. This is the first year I didn't monkey with with the fuel. I worry about this Fed truck in CA, so for past tests I'd roll into the shop on a nearly empty tank with a...
Beetle pad is a perfect fit; I have one on mine too - put it on there years ago when I needed a pedal rubber and had that one left over from my Beetle days.
I am of the unpopular opinion that there is only 1 type of winch that increases value, the OEM PTO winch in proper working order. Everything else is aftermarket. The 8274 is a great one, I sure would not mind having one, but there are many...

Reupholstered seats are finally in!
I switched from a bench setup and long jump seats to buckets and short jump seats. I tried to keep everything as factory as possible. Re-did the seats, OEM roll bar re-done, powder coated the bar and seat...
Getting just parts from the Middle East is almost impossible. That would be the market that would have the most non rusted LHD panels. If you did manage find the insert panel would probably buy a replacement dash.
Not shown in the pics but I have just about finished welding in the quarter panels - no alignment issues so far. Solid as a rock once the quarters get attached to the rear sill bar…
Trust me your better off buying a used one even if it needs some repairs. The hinge part is actually mounted inside the boxed section. There are also two corner braces required to stiffen the assembly.
Ambulance door hard top sides work with a hatch. Need the hatch header with the hinges. Need to add a couple holes for the sticker for the hatch. Plus a couple for the struts.
Best picture I could find of my 73.
Cruiser is a factory soft top...
