Very superficial cosmetic rust kind of spread out. There is one perforation left front fender. PO provided replacement fenders but they need a bit of work and I liked how it looks as is so let it be. Floor was replaced so there is no other structural rust anywhere

Classy looking "55 with minimal rust and a great patina. This is my daily driver and is running great. It looks like I'll be relocating to the Phoenix area in the next few years and without A/C, this will be undriveable in the summer. I've basically completed the mechanical restoration as...

Thanks

Yeah, it seems like it might be in the box as there is significant rotation of the steering linkage before it “stops” and engages to turn the wheels. BTW, speedometer you sold me works great!

Thanks for the reply. No power steering and as far as I can tell, all suspension and steering components are original (PO replaced F1 engine with a a ‘79 F2 and tranny/transfer case from an early ‘80’s fj60). When The vehicle is parked and I turn the steering wheel, there is a few degrees of...

My 1970 pig drives fine but I’m constantly battling the excess play in the steering when I’m at higher speeds on the highway. It’s more annoying than anything but was wondering if there is a way to tighten this up a bit. Appreciate any advice. Thanks

Yeah, that other leak was my fault for not tightening up my oil pressure sender when it was replaced. This leak has always been there and it’s definitely coming from the flange

Hard to tell. When it’s all back together I can’t see any of the internal parts to know. I’m still puzzled by the damaged rubber washer I found in there. I think the PO attempted a DIY fix cause the schematic only shows the larger rubber flange seal And no other small rubber washer.

No. Looked perfect

I recently explored the cause of my leaky front flange seal from the transfer case and despite my efforts have been unable to stop the leak. After dropping the front shaft and removing the nut the holds the front flange in place, I was surprised to find no washer or flange seal but some torn up...

I had this exact problem when I rebuilt my tailgate. The glass came with the pig when I bought it and channels were in place. Installed the felt in the side channels and had the same problem; it was too tight for the motor to move the window. I removed the felt that was adjacent to the edge of...

Floor was rusted out and I can see a weld around the shifter plate so I’ll bet it was modified.

That’s what I found when I replaced the sender but there still seems to be some kind of mismatch
