Drain plug or fill plug? Don't need a P/N, call Cruiser Outfitters. I always carry spares...

A second honeymoon...

Can you/do you need to grease up that rotating section of the engine stand? Sometimes there's a zerk for that. A straight 6 on an engine stand always makes me nervous. That stand looks pretty good, should handle it no problem. I've only had a stripped down 2F on a stand (blue, with a hand crank...

I like real gauges with numbers. Stock gauges are notoriously slow and inaccurate. A good mechanical oil pressure gauge is a must in any car I want to keep. I like coolant temp gauges too. Other gauges are handy but not as important. There's not a lot of spare interior room in a Landcruiser, no...

Some info on early hubs down in the 25 section... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/early-hub-depository.825602/

Clutch hose? Ain't clutch hoses the same as brake hoses? Same ends and all...So any Toyota flexible brake line will work. Some of the good race shops will have them hanging on the wall, you choose the length. A hose shop will make one up while you wait for cheaper.

Mine...

Might be from the timing cover too. I'd just snug up all the bolts in the area, I don't think it's unusual at all to need to re-torque fasteners on a new rebuild. I think it's sorta routine. Especially the cork pan gasket, those bolts want to be torqued in inch/pounds. I got a torque wrench just...

Well, shoot. I was blissfully unawares of wear problems on the rear Poly shafts. I've been running them for 15 or 20 years. Don't think I've looked at them in 15 or 20 years. Darn it, one more thing I gotta take apart and check. Thank you.

What does that diaphragm and linkage do? Do you need it? There was a similar diaphragm on my 10/'73 called a "throttle positioner", I didn't think it was needed so I took it off. But if it's for your secondary, I guess you might need that... Could you mock up a piece of coat-hanger wire to see...

Does it have to be '76 and later to fit? I like the early '70s Aisan carb with the mechanical secondary, I don't trust the vacuum secondary. I don't trust the cut-off solenoid either and it's easy to delete on the earlier carbs. So I did that. I prefer the simpler carbs...

My 12/'74 was originally grey/white.

@65swb45 would be my first guess...

But the little bit of intake manifold I see reminds me of the '69 wide-runner manifold...

It sounds like you know what you're getting into. A 3-on-the-tree 40 is fun to drive around. Fuel pump is any fix but see if the gas tank holds gas or is it rusted through on the bottom. Any idea how many miles on the engine? I'd say $1,500.00, maybe 2k if the brakes are good... And fix the bezel.
