@jblatz @GA Architect Thanks very much to both for the info. That solved two immediate problems. Now, on to removing the crank guard so I can slooowly turn the crank and set the points.

Took it for a quick spin around my hood and drove perfectly fine. In fact I’m now convinced that I’ve had this leak happening over the period of the last couple weeks where my steering was harder to navigate in my driveway and now their things...

Well, it fits really, really, well. The floor may need to move up a little for the atlas, and my upper link needs to swap sides, but I have over 6" to the front of the radiator and condenser, and just as much to the firewall.

If that is a YB wire, it goes to the oil pressure sensor. Here it is on my '77:

Northbound yet again. Magic is brewing

Some pics from yesterday's Ales & Overland event at the Steady Hand Brewery in Atlanta.

My truck is a wheeler that Ive been bringing back from trail trucks to use for wheeling and traveling. I came up backpacking so living simply is what I know. But I bought a fridge when I was building my 80 and Ive never looked back. This 1976 40...

Great time today! Awesome turn out.

Put the cap on the reservoir and drive it. If it's not growning any air will work it's way out. You may want to use some of this type of Heat Shroud Aluminized Sleeving Heat Shield around the hoses.

I agree a heat shield on that return would probably save you a bad day in the future.

Got it all mocked up. Now I’m polishing on this Cruiser Outfitters brass bushing to get it to fit the trimmed tube and then I have to polish the inside diameter to make the main shaft fit.

Zero chance this thing would ever have steered correctly with this old steering box. The wheel had 1/8 of a turn each direction before anything would catch. This model also has the later rebuildable center arm so I’m doing a mini truck steering...

This turned out perfect. I like being able to retain the old toolbox. Passenger seat is about 1” taller.

71Forty is back in the main shop I took the fresh powdered seat frames and added some Cruiser Corps black covers. They match the Scheel-Mann nicely The Wizard finished up the passenger seat base This is a combo of the Corbeau bracket...

Dropped hump at paint this morning and then met up with the wizard this afternoon to fit the seats This is going to be a sweat setup. Plenty of leg room on the driver seat and we set the passenger just like the 74 seat I have here This one...

Lol. Not sure how I fat fingered that. leefecr = nice I’ll send you pics. I’d rate them 7 out of 10 on condition. Price is free if they pass muster for ya.

No idea what kind of hose this is, i like it 'cause it's pretty.

Is this correct? Thanks.

Ales & Overland @sterling, @bencallaway, @Wadesters

Took her to Local Ales and Overland @Wadesters in the middle.

All sorts of new rubber. New hood rests New shoes

Getting ready to install new wire harness and halogen light kit on the cruiser. Factory Toyota parts, all the connectors are packed with dielectric grease, and everything looks to be high quality. Should be a major improvement over my current...

Here is the part number 53112-90300. It does stand off a bit from the bezel. Toyota calls it a spacer. They were over tightened on my 68 FJ40 when bought it in 1974. Shaped more like donuts than a tube.

This should prove to be a fruitful weekend if the heat doesn’t get crazy..although, they said Philadelphia May reach 97…I am not that far away by the way… the red and white packages on the top are from @ToyotaMatt …they are watertight…
