Why don't you post it openly for everyone on here. Why is it a secret?
The parts guy is @beno who is in Atlanta. He has a continuous build thread in the 70 Series
Section. He won't sell under $100 worth of parts now as he is too busy. But he is a wealth of information
and works at Toyota and has made it his mission to provide all knowledge regarding Toyota Parts, and
can immediately let you if parts are available or obsolete (which can be just as useful)
He does offer MUD discounts.

Tailgate installed... Super stoked! Things are coming along here.
I'd like to drop by and check out the action. That is really looking good now. J
I see the unobtanium oem Tach. So much awesomeness here.

Thanks folks. Good eye there, that is an oem tach! Pretty excited to have that.

Didn't have a super productive long weekend, but got the front clip figured out for the most part. Having pre-fit everything prior to paint makes this part of the process super satisfying though!

is your trans tunnel cover going to line up? They don't seem to work with the h55f.

They made me one for the H55, but it doesn't fit very nicely. Its taken a bit of re-jiggering.
And yeah, I was wondering if I should shim it up a bit more than the weird leather cushion its supposed to have haha. I think I'm going to put a bit of starboard under the hinge to squash the gap back. Doesn't help that my hinge is super sloppy.. Although, I'm not totally sure how they're supposed to be so I'm loath to order another.

Mine have all been sloppy as well, not sure if they were from the start.
The one I just pulled off a 72 is cast not folded steel, and also sloppy...

Enjoying this a lot. Great colour, too. Front anti-inversion shackles are on the wrong way but maybe you already knew that.

Ah, that makes me feel a bit better about it. I'll probably give the starboard a try.
Thanks! Yea I know the shackles are wrong, haha. They were like that when I got it, but since there are so many cooler things to do, flipping them around is fairly far down the list now.

Did a bunch of small things today.. Only had a couple hours but tried to make the best of it.
Got the fuel tank sender installed and the tank fitted with the powder coated skid plate ready to go back in. Also got the back half of the wiring harness installed along with the marker lights. Oh, and got the power steering lines installed.
This phase of the project has largely involved decluttering the shop so I can actually think about what I'm doing. I've done most of the work to this point inside a tent in the driveway of my place down island, so I've got stuff piled everywhere since the move. Now, I'm really needing to focus on major and less visually appealing stuff.. Like brake lines..
OH! And does anyone have a late model steering column they would like to part with? Mine sucks.

everytime I look at my dash, it looks incomplete without an oem tach. That thing is awesome. Every now and again, I also get a turboner. Someday...
