Too bad those things don't exist for those prices any more. I cannot remember the last time I saw an OEM full floater for sale, not that I look for them. Everyone seems to charge themselves $0 for labor. That's fine, but if you're paying for work someone else has done you will have to...

Cool Cruisers of Texas also has some precut insulation you can put under the CityRacer mat.

I didn’t know those were still around. I might have my old busted up one somewhere. I actually never thought of using that one. I just bought the newer version since that old version requires a lot more than just vacuum to work. Vacuum switching valve -...

I got mine from Toyota.

I forgot about the big gay build. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/big-gay-3fe-build.586967/

Doesnt Posers? Maybe I’m recalling the parking brake cable.

I did fronts only. I figure the fronts are a safety issue. Additionally, converting the fronts is a "bolt on" exercise. The rears require welding. I do find my rear drums annoying because of the adjustments but I still run them (for now).

I just bought some cheapie ambulance door strikers and ground to fit. I think the “ramp rate” is too high. You’ve got to put a quarter turn on the door handle to close the door. Latches solidly though.

Someone needs to do the opposite. I’ve got 74 doors on a 76 tub.

I’ve never heard of counterfeit parts on that site. Their prices are the same as lots of online Toyota dealerships (like my local one on that very part). Glad you got it sorted.

“asked the dealer about their price. they assured me the site mentioned above is not an OEM toyota part despite what they say. they said the site is lying.“ What site isn’t OEM and lying?

I had my wires done up by Mud member @Fourrunner years ago. I used the military clamps. Works great. Not sure if he still does 40 series. Side note: Coolerman recommended I run an additional ground from the battery negative to the alternator bracket. From the factory this grounds to the...

My 1974s are a bit different and are supposed to rest parallel to the roof. Just my springs were weak, so I swapped in the VW springs on my old arms since I liked the original look better. So far so good. It just depends on you needs (maximum originality, bad splines, weak springs, wiper...

If using a rubber supply line, you can add a fuel filter that has a third port and connect that to your return line. I wouldn’t cut a hard line to do that tho. Having someone rebuild the original carb not an option? That would solve everything.

Still $15 in the US. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~cap~assy~fuel~tank~77310-60090.html
