Bump...
She's out of the winter storage and back home for another season. I'm always impressed at how these old trucks just fire right up and keep rolling.
The trip home was rainy and you realize there's the cabin isn't completely waterproof.
Upon on the list for the season is getting the TSM...
It looks like these are spoken for but I'm looking for that handle as well...I got a 69 and already have the jack and extensions.
If anyone knows of another let me know I'm interested
I still have the glass...
I have read the earlier glass is smaller...but I wonder if either glass with the new seal would fit in the back.
The corner size changed in 71...and the rears glass compared to the top I have on it seems taller.
I was trying to figure out the door card situation...
I have one card on one door...and the other has just the edge aluminum trim...
I couldn't find any info on them though
What on the outside more specifically...I can get pic
I have read the tops are the same but the glass size changed....atleast on the rears
The gasket was a single piece
The front doors themselves I heard the glass didn't change
The pieces were all for the same truck / were on the same truck.

The doors have the old style latch and the front pivot window...so pre 1974 I believe.
I have a 1969 and seeing if anything is cross compatable. I have read that the rear glass is 1971 and up.
TSM is where this thing is heading....only issue is they are back ordered....so hurry up and wait.
In the mean time next simple project is getting the dome light wired up again....bc why not.
The one thing I'll say about this project is it's ever changing and ever moving forward....
I decided to change up the guages once again...and that an original ebrake handle might be a nice touch....
Aside from that some odds and ends....swapped out the door and Hatch Cylinders so I have a...
I have the split case on my 40 and I'm in the same situation.
I have a line lock installed but am aiming to get a working mechanical brake as well.
I just ordered the TSM parking brake kit...seems like the cheapest route unless swapping rear ends....the Toyota Parts seem harder to find and...
I think half the excitement is seeing the old school bulbs light up on the dash...when changing lanes.....and all of the original knobs working....
Hey black wire is alwasy good to have around....and with metal prices could sell for a case of beer haha
