Did you already share what you paid for this truck? I really hope it wasn't much. It will be sweet when you;re done though!
Where did the truck come from? I just bought a 75 series in africa and I'll tell you what, more surprises than you can shake a stick at. I feel your pain.
But with all the shade tree mechanic fixes, improvising etc. It shows how tough Toyotas are.
You get what you pay for.... To be clear (in case prior owner is watching) I am not upset -- expected to be at this point.
This is a Venezula spec truck that I am assuming lived its life there. I got some title papers and pretty sure they said it was imorted from VZ. For a little history lesson, my understanding is that Toyota put all the parts in a big box, shipped them to VZ and they were assembled there. Complete Knock-Down *(CKD) Kits: basically a Land Cruiser in a box to be assembled elsewhere. They did not come with rear axles, so those had to be sourced in VZ, and that is why mine has a DANA 60 rear axle with Toyota outers (drums). Great thead to read if you are board:
Manufacture Months/Years and Frame Numbers
I am posting up pertinent production date information with frame numbers which 7x series owners can use as reference when you need parts since some parts supersede mid-month/mid-production.
