Howdy neighbor! I remember seeing this one on Craigslist, and was tempted to go look at it. Cool to see it get fixed up!

Thanks - all of the vent lines are connected. I can upload some photos later on. I am hoping there is a way to get to the return line inlet without dropping the tank, but I have my doubts.

No problem technically to run a rubber hose, other than keeping it in place and secured without chafing. Just make sure the tank is still able to breathe. There should be a separator in the right hand rear quarter, behind the trim board which...

Thanks @PBcuiser - I am just going to fab something for the radiator brackets. I am also going to copy your Racor fuel filter mount location. I have it plumbed in place temporarily. OK, so odd development: there is no return fuel line going...

I got the truck started! After I figured out the glow plug wiring and bleeding the injector pipes it fired right up. Runs smoothly. Now I need to figure out fuel, coolant system, ATF cooling, brakes, and finish off electrical. I’ve been...

Here's two sources for Sumitomo connectors that might have what you are looking for: https://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/connectors.html https://www.corsa-technic.com/category.php?category_id=54

Left tail light lens that was warped due to heat from the fire. Indication as to how close the flames got. Fortunately as far as it got.

Here is the name plate on the transmission. A442F?

Sorted out the neutral safety switch such that the key now turns the starter. Validated good oil pressure with a multi-meter. Seems the gauge and the sending unit are not properly synchronized. Now working on fuel. I've had trouble finding the...

I got the starter spinning. But haven't been able to actually do so "properly" using the starter wire from the chassis wiring harness. I suspect the issue is the neutral safety switch circuit. Four of five connectors from the chassis found...

Oil does not belong in the cylinders and if the engine is free, there is no need to add it. It is only used in case of a low compression reading to load the piston rings and potentially identify them as the source of compression loss. If the...

I am imagining that the harness on the other side of the engine bay (pictured below) is for the alternator connection. Seems like there will be a number flipped harness locations relative to actual component location on the engine block as it's...

Hi All - I changed the oil and attempted to pull the glow plugs to drop some oil into the cylinders. I found access to be a little tricky, so might have to move the cross over pipe to get in there. I spun the crank with a breaker bar and it...

Truck is now situated at its new work space for the next few months. I got the new starter installed as well as the battery tray. Plan to remove glow plugs and spin by hand this week sometime.

That is super useful, thank you!

Not the best pic but you can see fuel filter in upper right and vac reservoir in lower left. Pic is taken from driver side fender. Happy to provide more info as you get further along!

Sweet - thanks for all of the info. I just got my starter. Looking forward to getting this thing moving soon. Copy on the Racor 445. @PBcuiser do you mind sharing a few photos of how you laid out your engine bay? Fuel filter and vac reservoir are...

Nice rig! Copy with the Yanmar amazon starter - Im running one on my 1hz and its good. did you check Partsouq for the injector pipes? They had new stock for 1hz when I was building mine. For an Alt, Im using on out of a 93 FZJ80, again Im running...

I found some useful info in this thread that describes the Yanmar 6LP generic part number compatibility and am going to order an inexpensive 12V starter from amazon to get spinning! Still looking for an injector pipe source. Spent the day...

Sweet! Can't wait. I've had a HD in an 80 series and loved it. Pretty excited to get this rolling. I am still waiting on CruiserParts to ship the injector pipes. Wondering what they are not telling me. I have a message out to Terrain Tamer...

you’ll love the 1hdt in the 60! i have one in my 62 with a h55 and it’s amazing to drive!!

Glad to help and am looking forward to seeing this in person once completed.
