    I'd be real, real interested in the details and theory on how he got the tach to work. Everything from where the sensor is located and the why and how of the wiring. I've got three 70s where I am really missing having a tach

    I did buy the new rear bumper, and some sun shades. The bumper is easy to take apart and will go in my two rolling cases for my upcoming trip to Florida I also went ahead and got new rear indicator light boxes. Figured the one on Golden Boy may have gotten damaged. And I am replacing the...

    It's very, very tempting. I can't get a frame for it in Sharjah so it would have to go on something else. Maybe a 75 frame? Could be a great project for retirement. They have a couple of them I think. But these are the first 4 doors I've seen in salvage.

    I am about to head to Florida and I decided to bring Golden Boy a new, stronger, bumper. 70's have been coming with two types of rear bumpers, strong ones and weak ones. The one on Golden Boy had been the weak bumper. I went up to one of my favorite places in Sharjah today and had a look. I...

    Well the PTO shaft turned out to be an exercise in futility. I must have been for a 60 series. And in other news my boy has been having fun with the truck. And as a good citizen he cleaned up after himself But Golden boy did end up with a bit of damage

    Good Times - 1992 HZJ73

    If you can't find a replacement, maybe look into flam deposition welding or even simple brazing to build it up and machine down again. Seems like it might be an option especially if all that is going on there is a seal surface.

    I happened to look at a 75 pickup that seems to be original over the weekend. Here's the other end of things:

    I finished up the paint and cured most of it in the oven last evening. Just packing stuff to come with me on the flight to Florida. A friend of mine here in Dubai gifted me a 70 series transmission hump console that I will try on Golden Boy

    Good Times - 1992 HZJ73

    I thought I was being so clever: When I got them they looked the same But wait a sec... @cruisermatt pointed out to me that actual real Aisin hubs have QC stamps on the inside These don't. And also the amount of metal surrounding the mounting holes is insufficient. That's how we noticed...

    Making some progress, but I am no Georges Seurat I'm more of an impatient 1st grader slopping it on. I decided to try brush on paint this time because I wanted it pretty thick. I like my decision to point the shafts yellow. Not too many people even know about PTO winches. Having a little...

    In the meantime, I have prepped and am in the process of painting the parts before sticking them in my luggage. (Yay Evaporust!)

    My son reports that the clutch is slipping a bit in higher gears under full throttle. I'm going to head to the US in a couple of days to help my son change the clutch (under @cruisermatt 's guidance) for the heavy duty version that came with the Safari kit, but that we did not install, thinking...

    One thing is plain, I have to get after the interior of the truck. Take the instrument panel apart and clean it. probably change the seats. Lots of stuff. But it is fantastic to have the truck running and driving in a very practical manner.

    Big day today! My younger boy picked up the pickup from @cruisermatt and is driving it the hour or so home to Port Orang (Daytona Beach). We have the EGT and Boost gauge in a temporary location. My son says that at steady state 120 it stays at about 700F (I will be setting the meter to...
