I'm gonna guess that times have changed since then. There have been several 'Mud threads lately about the difficulty getting the correct older seals and problems fitting the new ones, though now I hear that some of our better venders can still get the good ones. Valves themselves are hard to find, some being NLA.

I ran Chevy valves in my 2F head at the last rebuild on the advice of Jim C. 1.50"int & 1.84"exh iirc. You can then use a stock Ford 11/32" valve seal without altering the head at the seal boss. Just an FYI.

I installed the rack lights a few nights ago but hadn’t installed the harness or powered up the lights, untill today. The switches work great and the lights are extremely bright. The three 5” ambers are blinding bright.

Sadly, the harness is about 1ft short to the battery so I’m going to have to splice and extend it.

I had ordered the Toyota headlamp light kit a while ago…..the one for$40…. Finally opened it up tonight so I can get it ready for install. The wire harness included is at least 5’ too long. Looking at different places to mount the relays and keep the wiring out of harms way. Obviously no shortage of zip ties

I see cruisers with mulch, 40's with green grass beside them, tops being removed, allow me to interject a little skiff of good 40 driving weather from the mountains.

April 7th here, if the weather holds out.


I'll be there again tomorrow, for #29 this season. Beer in the cooler already.

Dream worthy

Spent some time out in the desert, enjoying a beautiful Arizona spring day. Also bought a cool World War II aviation cockpit clock, and Velcro’d it to my dash.

That’s neat and looks at home.

@rkymtnflyfisher I hear ya on the mulch and green grass. We've got another round of snow coming tonight. I'm ready for June.

The town my wife and I were from in VT (Jay Peak) literally start the ski season in December on good years and then things REALLY get going in February and March…current getting 4-12” every day for the last 2 weeks….easily Mid April or later

Got the shop cleaned up enough to chip away a bit on this. Minimal body and paint planned, just want to get it back on the road (and off) and enjoy it.

New headlights and turn signals from Toyota. Rock guards do not fit over new headlights so zip ties for now until I find some longer clips.

There are a lot of things in this picture set I like.

Replaced the front leaf spring bushings.

New

Old

Finally able to get out to the truck and do the headlamp kit… simple job but did anyone at Toyota ever measure the distance between these head lights?
I’ll get under the truck and place that wire properly as my knee feels better but there is a lot of it.

Engine mounts welded in. Saginaw box and adapter kit in. Advance Adapters sold me the FJ60 transfer case support/crossmember but it isn’t going to work. Will order the propeller mount.

Coolest thing though was being able to adapt my original horn button and guts to the 15” GM 1947 to 1952 replacement steering wheel. At least something is original
