    My 1983 SR5 Long Bed Build.

    Yesterday I installed the fan stuff and it all worked as expected. Looks different than the Volvo controller but does the same thing. I also replaced the park brake cable. The old one has 31 years on it and finally gave up. The water leak was at the Toyota sensor. I installed a sealing washer...

    ... and the DIY Volvo fan control. The green and brown wires will energize the 80 amp relays for high and low speed. The ac relay will switch on the high speed fan. The white and yellow wires are from the coolant temp switch and the red is supply voltage from the dash switch, black is the ground.

    The engine is in. Runs great. Makes 5th gear usable. One thing I will say it is definitely not as smooth as the 22r, but that was expected. What was a surprise was the radiator. I have a 4 core radiator that was used with the 22r and it was just enough to keep that little guy cool. I took the...

    I have been working on the frame motor mount locations. I built the motor mount stands from 3/16 steel plate. Cut, bend, fit then weld was about the jest of it. Before drilling a hole for the motor mount to connect. I welded the out side first then ground the welds flat. I then fitted them...

    My 1983 SR5 Long Bed Build.

    Yesterday I installed all of the goodies on the flywheel side of the engine and stuffed it in the truck. I did this to make sure I was not going to have to shave any of the input shaft, and where the motor mounts would be located. Nothing had to come off of the input shaft but the motor mount...

    IT is a TG pump. It is doing great but, I do not have a bunch of miles on it, so I cannot give an opinion on how long it has lasted.

    My 1983 SR5 Long Bed Build.

    Thanks, no EFI, easer to install carb and I have propane also. I finished building the brackets. I decided to buy a bracket for the alternator, I simply did not want to mess with it when it can be bought pretty cheaply. All belts are fitted also. Now I need to take it all apart and paint the...

    The engine is pretty much done. It requieres a few hose clamps and fittings, then it is reddy to install. I may have some time to remove the 22r but fitting the 4.3 may be delayed. I have to have work done on my right knee. This will keep me layed up for a while.

    V Belts? I have a power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and oba pump that will be transfered from the 22r to the 4.3. Never got it out on the trail but did drive it around town. She turns heads like a topless hitch hiker.

    My 1983 SR5 Long Bed Build.

    I have been driving and then adjusting, then drive and adjust... The engine just will not give me enough power to be a pleasant drive. What I would like is to be able to shift through all gears and not have to keep my foot planted to hold speed. So the fix is more cubic inches, really nothing...

    The dual setup works great. The engine is under powered. I am in the process of porting a 20r l will be done soon. Then off to the machine shop for 22r valves to be installed and surfacing. I have a weber that I will be trying out on the stock 20r manifold.

    Thanks those pics will come when all driving issues are fixed. The transmission rebuild went well. No issues at this time. I installed the trans, last weekend and have been driving the truck around the neighborhood and fixing what needs to be fixed. Examples a brake line leak or carb...

    My 1983 SR5 Long Bed Build.

    I hate waiting with not much to do so I figured I would build and install the high lift jack mounts. I simply bent material and welded a bolt through the mounting surface. They act as studs to hold it up there when bolting it down. I always seem to have a 3/4 wrench in my tool stash so no need...

    Thanks guys. I cut the frame back about 8 inches. The shackle mount is the point is was cut at. Well there you have it, the trans is apart and the failure is found. The bearing behind first gear that is mounted in the intermediate plate, was on it's way out. The kit is ordered and should be...

    Last week turned out to be a bust. My wife surprised me with a wedding I had to go to. The wedding was on Saturday and recovery was on Sunday. Those Catholics no how to put on a party. Yesterday I finished the carpet install. That sucked to say the least. A friend came over for a electric...

    The power steering pump is installed and is working great...at least it is quiet. I started the engine on propane also. The mixer is adjusted for idle and is reading 14.5 on the AF meeter. The truck definitely runs smoother and the exhaust fumes are not as harsh as gasoline. Once it was tuned...

    The TG pump arrived. I had to modify the stock pump bracket to get it to fit, or buy their bracket. I decided to use what I had a modified. I used 3/16 material to build a small plate to support the back of the pump. I then cut the back of the bracket off and welded in the plate I made. The TG...
