Giving the primer one more day to cure before color coat. Almost there! Scored this little gem a couple months ago. Been looking for a long time but could never stomach the asking prices. This one popped up for a much friendlier price so I went...

I want to thank everyone for the input and the responses from the group. They were a bit mixed; however the votes to stay Toyota were by far the winner. I spoke with Redline cruisers this afternoon and I’m going to take my truck down there and...

If it ran great at sea level with power and not so great without power at altitude that tells me the carb needs to be re-jetted for altitude. On edit: …. and/or timing needs adjustment.

No, I'd put a better carb on it.

Can’t stop looking at that picture! Cool truck great view.

All right - - BUT THAT'S IT!!

From here, it was a cannonball run to find the next place to stay for the night. We left Atlantic City in the rain and headed south. We were hoping to find a spot to camp in the totally unknown (at least to us) Granite Mountains, but the rain...

That's a great story. That road north out of Dubois is a legit mountain highway. It was such a pretty drive that I didn't think to take a single picture the whole stretch from Moran to Dubois.

Too late 😂. Here’s the B2’s I get from Am@zon

What a trip! Thanks for sharing. In 1990 I moved from Wichita Ks to Seattle, and on the drive there in mid-April IIRC I thought it would be cool to drive up through Yellowstone from the Denver area (my parent’s home). I was in my Porsche 944...

Hoses, water pump, radiator?

Rest of coolant system will need to be dismantled to ensure validity most likley.

Don’t grind those welds down too far like I did. I made my metal so smooth that I didn’t need much body filler but the welds cracked in a few places after one year of driving.

Yup. That ball came out and got cleaned, spring checked, all back together and hit with the carb cleaner.

Don’t know about your carb, but on most that I’ve worked on there is a small ball in the bottom of the accelerator pump well to keep pressure from the pump back pushing fuel out the inlet hole. Sometimes those balls get lost or forgot about when...

Keep poking, try some pressurized air.

Just an update here! Thank you all again for the guidance and advice. Unfortunately the dealer was unable to get the title cleared and could only get a rebuilt title, SCDMV would not budge. While I was waiting for this, I did scout the...

… or six 40-series, or 46 😂

Well that’s too logical 😂. I have called (local is still 30+ miles away) about other old cruiser parts in the past with little success so it’s not an automatic thing for me now. Too easy to push buttons on my ipad.

Have you called your local dealer?

Are the rear wheel cutouts round?
