On my 77 I had to set the bottom tabs before connecting the speedo cable. I did have enough room to get my hand behind it to connect it once the bottom was set.
Crushers is north of Hanover close to Chesley, but well worth the drive. Another guy is Landblazer, hes in Acton and knows his way around Cruisers and diesels.
Hey JD, the tear down is really coming along. If you think the speedo cable was fun to get off, wait till you plug it back in!! I still owe you a visit and hope to make it out shortly in my 40...I'll let you take it for drive to help keep you motivated...
Back in the day I had an 85 SR5 pick up that I use to haul a 10' box tent trailer that probably weighed about 1800lbs. I had 33" tires on it so 5th gear wasn't much use on any incline, but no real issues other than that.

I am interested and will be trying to make this run. It will be close to the date before I know forsure if I can make it do to the project I am on at work and trying to get my truck to where it is sound for off roading.

I don't think $400 OBO is out of line. I'll keep an eye on this thread as I may be interested. I'm going to need a set of tires in the near future, I'm just not sure yet how big I want to go.
Good luck with the trade.
