There's tons of info in the thread that OSS linked a few posts up, did you read it? 👍🏻

You say you don't weld, nor do bodywork, so I would definitely pass on that rust bucket! It needs way too much work. If you're just after a trail beater, why not get a cheap domestic truck... If you really want a 60 series, I agree with most of the other replies; spend more time searching, and a...

Wow...just wow! You lucky devil, that is sweet. Sure looks like your brother looked after it, plus made a few upgrades. Leather seats etc. You forgot all the required info, mileage, mods, etc :flipoff2: Hehe, congrats!

Continued... Oh, almost forgot...I put some silicone grease on the slip ring for lubrication/corrosion protection. You guys n girls from the land of the maple tree might like my key tag...I've had it since the summer of '95, I spent 2 weeks in Vancouver with a local lass (she gave me the key...

I got around to fixing the horn today. I considered doing the .22 casing trick, but the new pin is only about $6.00, plus I always like to do a job properly whenever possible. I actually found a few spent .22 shells under the front seats, plus a couple of live rounds too, from the old farmer who...

I decided to cut back the steel heater pipe section to where the the metal is solid, give it a quick sand blast and paint with hi temp engine enamel. I just need to make up longer hoses to connect to the heater valve.

Awesome! Glad she's all coming together nicely. You could be right about the leads, never underestimate the power of OEM HT leads. Either way, I'm sure you'll iron it out👍🏻 When you set the valve clearances on the cold engine, did you set to the hot spec, or did you add a few thou to be on the...

Possibly mounting points for tail light guards??? I vote to get rid of em also👍🏻

The hard brake lines have a double flare, the seal is metal to metal, no O-ring. Your nearest brake shop should be able to cut the line back and re-do the flare, should be plenty of line to work with because of the coiled section at the load proportioning valve. I guess there is a stress crack...

How about using a marine access hatch? Water/dust proof, lightweight, low profile mounting etc😎

Agreed! And nice garage/workshop 👍🏻

Hehe, no worries mate😉

Nice one Nate, glad you found a replacement engine for the 'ol girl, sounds like she's gonna be schmicko once you're done👌🏻
