Beautiful

Which would it be!?

I am sooooo torn, completely flustered and undecided with my decision. Man it would be hard to pick which one. Obviously vastly different Cruisers yet the same. Grandpappy vs grandsonny, so difficult to decide which one would be for me.

The answer is all of them.

Quality work as usual! Love the drivetrain choices. This will be a great practical truck.

Anyone know the part number for the Yanmar valve cover? I have 3 engines that are in need of new valve covers.

These cabs look to be the ones pulled out by military contactors. Do you know if it was a Saudi or UAE car?

The Camel, all day, every day. The 45 is bitchin, but the 79 is on a whole nother level!

Lots of time being spent aligning the FTE and trans.

Like mentioned earlier in the thread, we are lining it up fan to shroud. We are almost there.

One more...

Installed the wiper motor last week. Cleaned out the cowl while I was at it.

That is a good idea to use the fan and shroud to locate the driveline.

 

[bottombracket]

Did you piece together the t case shifter from scratch?

If we don’t it’s a custom fan shroud.

The bumper is everything I hoped it would be.

@SNLC finished the year on a high note. Engine/trans now lined up and in their final resting spot. Motor is sitting on VDJ79 engine mounts.
