5.5 Hours today with 3 guys
We got the body off the frame. It took two attempts. The first attempt we had missed two bolts so we lifted the entire truck up off the ground. Once we broke the last two bolts loose she came right off. Kudos to Matt for a great rotisserie design. It works perfectly. The body is amazingly balanced and spins very easily. Amazing how much crap poured out of the channels and fenders after a few spins. All in all, though, there does not seem to be any real surprises. Now I am even more excited about the floors we will be getting from Mike. There is plenty to keep us busy until they arrive, but I am sure I will be chomping at the bit for floors soon enough. I guess we really can’t work much on the rockers until the floors are in hand. The loader did a great job with the boom attached, it was barely a strain. I now understand, sort of what the two metal tube things that were pulled from the left and right rear quarters are for with regards to the gas tank venting. They vent tubes on the gas tank look like the were been abandoned long ago. I will need some clarification on this, although, it is probably in the manual, which I have not studied much. RTFM.
Also, got the carb parts clean (easy), now all we have to do is remember how it goes back together (hard). I took tons of pics, hopefully we will not need them. Anyhow, I will let the pics do the rest. Going out of town for a long weekend with the wife. Our 9th wedding anniversary is officially today, Friday, and my Bday is Monday, so we are heading to the Lake w/out kids, yea, and hope to do nothing but veg.
Oh yea, the vent rubber showed up today. I have encluded some detail pics for all to view.
Maybe Toyota's quality control was not the same back then as it is today?
