Got a bit of work done on the white truck this past Sunday. We took out the heavy sound deadening from the firewall and all, removed pedal bucket and all wiring so I can get it cleaned properly, to remove all the mice crap and pissy smell ot of...
The body of the 60 can't possibly weigh 2000lbs. I have my spares truck sans motor and axles on some stumps in my yard and I can lift the back of it by myself. Granted the fulcrum point is about at the a pillar but still. I'd guess it's less than...
Yes. Change plugs and do all preventive maintenance before anything else. Do a valve adjustment as mentioned above, check pcv valve all that good stuff. Them plugs look like they haven't been looked at for a very long time though.
I have an 85...
Update,
I wasn't able to drain the entire block, but the new pump is in place and buttoned back up.
I refilled the radiator and burped the system with the engine running and both heaters on/in the heat position until air stopped coming out. I...
Anything below .5a should be fine in any vehicle. Anything over, kills the battery. My cressida has the radio memory and the clock drawing .53 and kills the battery in about two week's time. I keep it on a tender. Now, I'd start with the radio...
When burping the system, find the steepest incline you can and get the truck pointing up. Run the heat full blast to allow trapped bubbles to move along. I have done this several times with absolutely no issues.
Must have heat on otherwise it's a...
should be done with spraying at this point. Will do some wet sanding after the Solid Axle Summit in August. Then put her back together and do the interior, knuckles, brakes, springs etc. hope to be done by the holidays :).
Last pieces of the puzzle. New OEM swaybar bushings, new OEM fender skirts, and KYB shocks (because I tired of OME).
Only thing left is to pick out new tires and I’m done with this build and putting it up. I’m leaning Toyo AT3s for general...
On another note, my donor frame's rear channels aren't bad at all but will prolly need replacing. So once the truck comes back, imma take the channels off the current frame and replace these. Working twice, again ...sigh..
i personally craft these the traditional TOYOTA way by hand with pride ,,,,,,,,,, :cool:
oven wire insulation ....:rolleyes:
do we need to have another " that talk " again Alf 🤔
BATTLECRUISER OPERATIONAL
Thanks to all, also @mongoose2231 for literally saying look for burnt out carb fan wire hanging there... found carb fan wire hanging beneath Cruiser (view from below, looking up).
Based on some mud posts decided to...
Had a nice surprise this evening coming home with my frame! Ran into a sick 60 and I have a feeling I saw mud stickers in the rear window. If you are on here, awesome truck man!
