Hello - long time lurker, but finally an owner as of April 2020. After a long search, I finally found her 5 hours away. My buddy and I made the drive and towed her home.
I tackled the engine first:
-replaced all vacuum lines
-replaced any hose I could (lots of cracked hoses)
-new thermostat, housing, and gasket
-new water pump and gasket
-new radiator (old one leaked)
- Rebuild carb
-Steering pump mount for Saginaw pump (Thanks Georg!)
-replaced oil pan gasket
- oil change - new oil filter
- cleaned valve cover and replaced the seal
- stripped and repainted the air filter housing - new air filter
- replace fuel lines
- updated A/C
- new belts
- new spark plugs, wires, distro cap, and rotor
-carb fan wasn't working - was not grounded properly
-Stainless Steel battery tray
-cleaned the engine compartment
More recently I have added the windshield washer reservoir and lines/sprayer as well as the mod for the hood hinges.
I have new battery cables from Fourrunner, but have not had time to install them.
