Been a minute since I posted. Had a bit of a lull in activity, but things are picking up now and I'll start getting some photos out soon.
In the meantime wanted to share something I thought was pretty cool. Found some markings on the inside of the cargo panels (markings may not be what they are, looks more like Gifu used a grease pencil, which for 50 years prevented surface rust on that area). Looks like my rig was USA #764!!! Which sounds about right if there were 1,000 imported and mine is a model year '66. Anyone speak Japanese? Would love to know what the symbol means! Shop has taken lots of photos to document location, size, etc. of these marking will full intent to replicate after painting.
Any help translating appreciated!

Well, can't ignore a message like that!I think that symbol means "post more pictures please"(sorry, the pandemic is slowly rotting my brain)
Seriously, there is a Japanese older couple that walk in my neighborhood....I will ask them what the symbol means...

Pulling races from stub axles is .... rewarding in the end!
That is too cool. When I pulled the rotted headliner down from my LV it had a wood trim around the edges with Japanese characters written in pencil all around it.

Engine pick up day! Trusty Scout got a little workout. Spin the engine once a month.

Door hardware repair requires resourcefulness and a sharp eye. Proving once agin you never throw LV parts away; used part from a broken-in-half catch to repair another that was otherwise fine. Look closely at pics 4 and 5! Took a while to figure out that small amount of wear was preventing full engagement; a rattle in waiting found and fixed!!
