I’ve given half a thought to reproducing those speaker brackets but haven’t been able to get my hands on them. They’d be great for installing cargo area speakers in a 60, using the 62 grill cover (or a @red66toy repro speaker cover) for a stock/OE look. I should probably go up to Poncha Springs and dig around, I bet Classic Cruisers has one.
Just the boring stuff of fluid changes (F&R Diffs, Trans/TC, oil, brake, coolant), with a few filters (oil, fuel, air), spark plugs, valve adjustment and I might have checked the spark plug wires and dizzy air gap too. I managed to completely fail at replacing the gas cap seal, what I got won't fit the cap I have (new has a flange, old is just a flat piece of rubber)... is this OEM?
And my radiator cap is MUCH different, the installed version has a smaller neck/opening than the Toyota original cap. So, anyone know if this is an OEM radiator with repairs (replaced filler neck) or some aftermarket radiator?
What's the benefit of running a high zinc racing oil in a low revving engine like the 2F? I've thought about looking for a higher zinc oil over my regular Shell Rotella 10w-30.Oil change and a freshly powdercoated air cleaner assembly with new filter. Replaced some dry rotted vacuum caps as well.
- your gas cap topic is simple , yet safety related , TOYOTA never offered replacement seals or individual parts for any 60 , 61 or 62 globally ever ....
- lastly 4 / 1986 is the production date transition from a BIG cap to a SMALL cap ........
- you need a Small Cap apparently ?
Well, the biggest reason I use Valvoline VR1 in the Cruiser is that I know a lot of the guys at Valvoline and VR1 is one of the best out there for protection, I use it in both of my old cars. The other has a mildly built engine, still low revving by todays standards but both pushrod engines. Oils with high zinc content are better for older engines as they were designed for higher zinc oil, oil compounds and engines have changed a lot over the years but on old pushrod/flat tappet engines, the more protection, the better.What's the benefit of running a high zinc racing oil in a low revving engine like the 2F?

Changed the oil, washed it, packed and hit the road for a 2000 mile road trip.
Action pics to come.
