Thank you. As far as I was able to research my cruiser is 1983 New Zealand version: four drums, power steering, crucially NO roll bar whatsoever. We slid to a side and then gently on the roof. First pic looks really scary but on the second you can see the same side almost all up. Not saying it...

Pump works beautifully, so just confirming that it's the right way to put slippers back in.

I rolled mine and discovered PO at one point swapped windshield frame to a glass fiber one. Everyone is fine, cruiser will be soft top now, with a full roll cage.

Day later I can answer this myself. After reviewing FSM and inspecting wear on the sides of the block I am certain that's the correct way to put it back together. I managed to NOT lose any of the 24 springs which is a bonus. Fitment to the truck tomorrow but the wear pattern tells me it was...

Took my power steering pump on a weekend trip to my in-laws, because I am running out of time before the big trip next week. I figured it's going to be bonding moment with my father in law :)

Question for the "for USA" version which apparently I have on a 1983 BJ42: slipper isn't symmetrical. Does it matter which direction I put it back in? One side has a notch in it.

@4Cruisers you worry me a little with the sleve

I got links form Chris and posted them here https://toyota3b.s3.amazonaws.com/3b_manifold.zip They may go dark at one point, but Chris and I have them now, so PM us to get it in the future. In the meantime, link above should work.
