First batch of 10 is done! Supplies took a bit to come in. We are working on getting these packaged and then they will be up on the store.
Super happy with how they came out! I'll post back when they are live. :cheers:
I recall an ADD issue back in 2008 when I was on Trail Teams, and the Toyota service guide didn't even include checking that. Spent a lot of time/parts with a tech chasing multiple possibilities for the "Christmas tree" dash lights, I asked why...
The rear heater pipes cleaned up well. The foam had some scuff marks after nearly 50 years so I used some heavy duty heat shrink to spruce them up a bit.

Thanks for stepping up and pointing that out @peesalot
My 77 has an oil cooler, when replacing the water pump a couple of years ago I struggled finding the right pump as most did not have the oil cooler line. Ended up buying a later model aisin. From what I know my truck originated in Canada so...
Finally I dragged it out into the gravel and “cut its throat” and let it bleed green.
Once it bled out I blasted the grease off as best I could.
Now it’s back inside. I will put a couple more hours on it
The stripping continues

C) powder coater pile
