Builds 75 Series Truck - VZ shade tree special

[FJBen]

Great work! What a build

Do you plan to reapply the Toyota decal to the tailgate?

Don't know what to do with stickers... I am great at the whole plan, but lack the ability to see the perfect color and details like that....

Also, FYI, the blue over the grey primer took 4 coats of Monstaliner. I probably could have stopped at 3 coats, but decided to give it a little more thickness.

Summary,

Used 2 full gallons of Monstaliner on the project. I used Mason color with no binders on the tintable kit. I did clean the gun and waited about 1.5 hour between coats.

Taped off

Painted. Time to rest.

The tinted monster liner looks pretty good. Also my version of a selfie....

single stage?

 

[2fpower]

Nope. Two stage. Base/Clear.

Rest. I remember you my old friend. If anyone on the thread is celiac and doesn’t care for the taste of coffee, best stout in the world for ya....

Well did a part number cross reference and because @Tank5 gave me the full harness for a tundra, I was able to confirm that’s what I need

@c2dfj45 - I need some help.... I hooked up the wire coming from the computer that ran the 80 series tach, and connected it to the tach input on the speedo, and nothing..... the speedo did not work before.... actually only the oil pressure gauge would work, so I don't know if the tach even works.

So the question I have is how do I test the input or know if the old tach will work with this different new input?

Oh man.....unfortunately I'm not the guy in charge of that part of the build. I sign the paychecks for that part of the build.

I know on my build we kept a lot of that cluster stuff in tact....I even recall that we had to keep the PRNDL behind the dash for some reason(I'm sure it could be removed but for some reason my guy ran it). I'm pretty sure we didn't have anything done to the 70 series tach to make it work but that was an eternity ago....I know that cluster was a huge job to make work. I'm afraid I won't be much help on this one.

 

[2fpower]

Got bolts and stuff.

 

[2fpower]

This happened.

Not sure which thread to post this on, but since this is the last time I use my wooden trolley, going to post it up here. A friend of mine gave me a bunch of old temporary stop signs and got the crazy idea of making a adjustable erector set style cart for working on tubs and cabs and truck beds.... I made this so it can expand about a foot and a half longer and 10 to 12 inches taller, or if I buy more uprights I can adjust even longer..... I typically have an axle or two laying around the shop they are always in the way, so Incorporated a way to hold them also.

Here is the old one.... made this about 10 years ago.... barely holding together. Overspray from about 8 different builds.

starting point.... these were temp stop sign @1994pd

drilled and made this monster...

axles fit on nicely...

Here is the cart in October of 2010, with my best friend Rob helping me out.

RIP good friend...
