If you want a tighter Fit try this one, i wasn't able to stretch it on though

Gates 24711 Fuel Hose, 1-3/4" -... Amazon product ASIN B001CIA0OK
Od of the filler metal tube is ~1-7/8


Note: 2In sealed ok first time, Second time I have to tighten it by hand, befoer ti stopped leaking (guess my 90deg impact is crap)

Pics of scuffed tranny

Replaced w/ 84 l52

Swapped in new carb,


Now just need to figure out how ti adapt newer 4 wire round plug to older 2 wire

and hacked harness

One wire was manually crimped to this, which has 2 wires in new plug.

I saw a thread somewhere

Just gotta find it

4th wire (B) vents fuel vapor from bowl to cannister, and returns it later to be burnefd. Ignoring it for noe(no cannister)

 

[caladin]

I like to look at the parts-book diagrams to help me figure out how things go together, since this is a franken-truck here are the ones i need , adding here so i can find them later

Sooo, if you use evaporust to de rust your tank it works great. It attacks rust, but not good steel. I just poured a gallon in and rotated it so it speent a day on each face.

The downsides:
Evaporust converts the rust to tiny yellow particles, that also clog your filter, so rinse it out -really- good. Gonna drop my tank and rinse it even more.

I put a box of screws in too, to break the rust down, man were they hard to get out. I see why folks use chain.

The 1st get floors i ordered from thailand got here and they seem ok(mine are mostly gone)

I got the half floors, as in this pic(this pic not mine, the rest are)

It's a small thing, but i replaced the shifter knob, its a LC one, but it has the right pattern

No problem, it's the "Son of a Land Cruiser" so I'd say parts can be interchanged when possible!

There is a french guy on the pickup groups on facebook. Retired to thailand. Sells parts to get extra cash. Has a hookup for floor pans.

His name is Rico Dusiam

He's on the pickup mafia group and tht 1st gen pickup and 4 runners group.

I later found them on ebay too, but they were hard to search for, i found a post on some forum that said what to search and they pop right up. But i can't find them now
