Birfs need attention too, and left right spring sags. Have new springs coming so wasn't really concerned about it, but looks like the bushings may have been smoked and they used washers to shim the hangars

Thanks for the replies, guys. Been out of pocket for a couple days.
mounts on the bellhousing? what shape are they in? ... pics below
how long have you owned it? Was delivered a few weeks ago.
who did you get it from? Bought it from a guy in Miami who lives part of the year in Columbia. Did a rough inspection via zoom
how was it represented? Was represented as a partial resto in great shape. The guy has been very helpful. He took it to his upholstery shop and had the interior changed to black for me...color was the ugly bright peach when it came over. He said he drove it for a few hundred miles and didn't have any issues. replaced the alt and changed fluids when it got here. Said a reputable shop in SA worked on it. Obviously we have different definitions of reputable.
Here are some addl pics. Title says '71, not sure if a body swap was done
it's not a 71, and you dont weld things on to the springs or zip tie hard brake lines to the frame.
Is that a CHEVY Straight-6 ??
The head and valve cover look to be Toyota but that fuel/oil filter and sending unit kinda freak me out.
Yeah someone remote mounted the oil filter at some point. Frame number and body matchView attachment 2668960View attachment 2668962View attachment 2668966
i was thinking the same thing: welded the leaf spring keeper directly on the leafit's not a 71, and you dont weld things on to the springs or zip tie hard brake lines to the frame.
Going to fix the ghetto fab-ness, and springs are getting tossed soon so yeah the upside down shackles will be installed correctly when that happens.
Here's the motor S/N. does that tell me what year it is?View attachment 2668161
