I step in s*** quite often haha my first was my daily which is my 97 80 series in emerald jade green. My tow rig is my 2003 7.3 powerstroke she’s the best.
My last rescue in August right down the rd from a realtor buddy. The homeowner didn’t wanna take it with him to the desert and claimed it was to slow 🤣 he wanted to see if go to a good home. Couldn’t say no to this one either 1966 definitely a...
Haven’t done much with the 60 other than daily driving it and washing it.
But I just recently sorted out my A/C and re charged it with 134a Freon.
Boy does it blow cold. Super happy with the results.
Definitely normal. If you look at yours, there should be a clutch plate that attaches to the shaft of the compressor in front of the pulley. The pulley and bearing sit on a boss (that silver cylinder in the center, the threaded post is the...
Held vacuum overnight - ran for another hour or so to get out more moisture, then put two 12oz cans of R134a in this morning. AC is blowing cold, can't get vent temps because "we" broke the other thermometer, but if I had to guess it's in the 40s...
I had ordered the Nachi one from Ebay, but the seller never delivered. They're available from other vendors as well.
Pulling vacuum after replacing all of the o-rings throughout and installing the new receiver/dryer, filling with oil (half in...
Pulled the compressor earlier today and replaced the bearing. Bearing didn't seem all that bad, but off the pulley it made a bunch of racket. There was also a good amount of grease and other junk on the clutch and inside the pulley. Original...
Not to hijack, but thanks for sharing that Neil. Was great hanging out and hope to see you next year.
Pss - thanks for letting me snap your photo on Red Mountain :cool:
Thanks for the info I will look for it.
My electrical solenoid is bad but the pump is good. I got a used unit from someone and going to swap out the clutch and magnet. Really all I need to get my A/C going.
Thanks @majdomo for the inspiration...
This Comp Clutch was used on a LOT of early 80s vehicles, not just Toyota - They're out there. You can look for the GPD 4321250 which was a reboxed ND. Or was...
Cheers.
(this one is in the time-lock safe ;) )
Thank you! I was able to find a bearing on Amazon that fit the dimensions listed for that one. I can't find a Koyo version of it for sale, however. There was a Nachi bearing that I was trying to get from someone on Ebay, they posted a tracking...
Finally, after 2 years I got my correct era license plate registered. Arizona used this plate from 1969 to 1972.
Blue truck gets to hang out with the 1969 Mustang in the backyard.
Took the fake 45 up to one of my favorite car shows today. Its the Prescott Antique car clubs 50th annual Watson Lake Car Show. Made friends with a Mustard yellow 1977 40. Here's some random pics......
Bummer is this has been just sitting around. Since there's no AC, driving here in the summer is not so fun.
Anyways, I waited till the sun went down. Then I took it to the car wash then hit the cruise night.
