Think the gasket matches the chambers on the head? Good save on the F / 2F HG.

Good save, whew! Dumb question...why are the head gasket holes around the cylinders not round like the cylinders? @FJ60Cam

Well @FJ60Cam saved my ass. Off the pic i Posted yesterday he saw with his eye that I had used an F head gasket and not a 2F. I have no idea where this F head gasket came from but I had a proper 2F one here and it's on. Luckily all I had done...

Whoa 😲!! Going back to post #26, this might be Land Cruiser Museum wall hanger type stuff.

It's in the shop. Got caught up on a long queue but the engine is out. A better view of the damage now too. Hoping progress goes faster here on out.

There’s a thread for that….no really, there axeually is.

Yea up to around 77’ was in cab tank. I really don’t have an issue with in cab tanks as long as they are maintained and have a proper vent. This tank is much easier to access than a 40 too, just fold down the rear seat. May add an aux tank to the...

Is that a giant gas tank inside the cab...behind the rear seat?

Now there’s a guy that understands how to lay down butyl sheets. So much overkill when every square inch of sheet metal is carpeted with that stuff, drives me crazy. Really cool build, love this era of trucks. Following.

Some reflective butyl insulation in this weekend. Will be taking additional measures to make sure this is a comfortable riding truck. Also knocked out some more wiring which you wouldn't be able to tell from photos. Finished the start relay...

@SHIfTHEAD. If you are re-using those greaseable pins on your shackles be sure to run some thin wire through the grease holes on the pins, and "flush" some grease through the pins and verify flow. After my OME bushings crumbled away like that...

CDI is a Snap-On owned company. As is Williams Tool. I would skip anything HF or Gearwrench if you can get the better tool for close to the same price. Skip the tool trucks, especially Matco. If you're doing Matco, you should just do Gearwrench.

I am thinking about parting it out. Family life is taking over. Anyone interested? I am ready to make a smoking deal.

If you went back to a stock bumper, I’d probably buy that one from you. Little far away though.

Oh that’s nifty.

Cool, saw your other post about the radio, biggest dumb question…where is the CD part to it?

part #86120-08010. I believe it was available from 1998-2000 4Runner, Avalon, Sienna and Tercel. It's looks more period correct than the actual radio that came in the 60 series. I bought it for $25 on eBay. :D

Never been in this forum, but just read your entire thread on my lazy Sunday morning, fantastic documentation and work! Was anticipating seeing the finished product by the end of the thread :confused:....now I gotta subscribe to follow this to...

That is such a great wall hanger Carnage Trophy.

And I hate say it but I believe your front springs are on backwards. Looks like the military wrap end with the yellow rectangle is installed on the shackle, should be on the fixed frame pin end...your rear spring looks to be orientated...

Thoughts on zinc additives like Rislone?

You can fit a elk in a 60 had to cut her off at the knees though
