I found a set of 5 original steel rims that have never been used before. The tires are 215 70R 15 mud tires. I finished the corrosion issues in the back and now I am working the frame corrosion issues in the front. While doing that, I pulled the smelly AC unit and now finding that the wiring...

Weight reduction is certainly the easiest way to improve performance. Searching to replace my cracked block B and honestly I want to stay with a B engine if all possible.

Very Cool, I was hoping to rebuild my engine but now that I found a hairline crack on the block I am searching for an overhauled long block to replace my B, not sure if to go with 2B or 3B. If I can get a B I would be happy with that. Your engine bay looks AMAZING mine is the dirty version of...

desided to go on my own and fabricate & weld my own repair frame ends, cross members and cross braces.

Thanks Howard, good site!

I love all the items they have but shipping is nuts, the part is $129 & shipping is $150, same with the rear cross member $306 but shipping is a whopping $350 :( I thought I could buy all 5 pieces I need but we are talking nearly $2000

you might be right, I would just hate to rehang the rear cross member if its 50% or less thickness. I found a decent replacement in the USA but also looking at Fabricating something here that would be identical. Lets see what happens :)

Monday I will call this place... http://rivetsonline.com/rivets-en/solid-steel-rivets/steelrivets-stainlesssteelrivets-brassrivets-copperrivets-monelrivets.html Hopefully they can sell me the closest pan head rivet as the OEM had. I will keep you updated :)

I didn't think of fabricating them....I will have to look around. I just thought as I do with my aircraft I can just order a bag of rivets :)

It started as a simple projects, brake lights would not work. Traced it to wiring & while doing so found more rust than I had expected.... Rear frame came off and even more rust still...Cross member came off and yet more rust.... it was just very sad that the Land Cruiser obviously had been...

Great story, I am working on my second one now and everything I touch is rusted :( Front Clip by Henry Schofield posted Sep 27, 2015 at 4:37 PM

someone here just gave me a scan of a manual if you want it let me know, its 100MB and seems to cover all the Toyota Trucks from 1980 on. I just downloaded it so not really seen all of it. I will print it all tomorrow. 36044E Chassis-Body 80' later PDF, let me know if you want me to email it to...

Thanks Ed, I think I replied to the private message.

Thanks Rudi, I have downloaded it and I will print it tomorrow. I have been many times to Costa Rica for work, great place. Would you know where I could find a complete wiring diagram? Also, does anyone sell wiring harnesses? complete set? Much appreciate your help. Henry

Hi Tom! My Red 1983 basket case is showing more and more wiring problems, they installed an alarm and it looks like every time they had a problem they just rewired...instead of solving the problem. I need badly a wiring diagram to chase some issues I have. Battery & Oil pressure gauges work...
