It was a special treat to get to know you and your family. Events like SAS Are very special. I hope that formula never changes.

Have been following along for a while and am about to start collecting parts for my H55F swap. My transmission is showing signs of hard shifts and am going to try to adjust the throttle body cable / replace to see if it cures the woes for now, knowing that will probably be temporary. Definity going to go back and ready through your thread and Paul Dinapolis to get some more information on all that is needed and what to expect, can't wait to swap mine out hopefully by the end of the year. (fingers crossed)

Feel free to DM me to discuss.
Paul’s thread was a great help.
Like many have said, get a parts rig to rob from then sell the shell. If you don’t, I can almost guarantee you will spend more and come up short on bits and pieces.
Also, take the time/effort to do the pedal bucket correctly. It sucks, but it’s worth it.
Good luck!
Ian
For sure will! I did see that Cruiser Matt sells a pedal kit now a few oddities that might make it more expensive but a bit easier.. might be a route I end up taking.

(this is kind of a crosspost as I posted in Jim @CruiserTrash thread as well)
Took the girl to a job in dallas and I am dealing with battery and starter issues. Spent a few hours cleaning every ground, connection and terminal I could get to and she started marginally better. A thin margin however.
Next morning:
"click"
"bang bang bang"
"start" still anemic however.
Take it to O'reillyZone, battery, alt and starter all test good. Dude says it's a fuel thing. I want to suggest actually quitting his day job because it is clearly not related to fuel.
As luck would have it, I am in Dallas on a job and everyone's favorite heavy equipment collector @ceylonfj40nut is bailing me out with a reman Denso from the dealer.
Discovered that they are still, in fact, available from the dealer at quite a reasonable price point too:
Part number: 28100-60070-84
$151 including core charge and TX tax. Below is a screen grab of the shopping cart if you want to see.

It's a fun rebuild on the bench if you have the parts and time. Save and rebuild it for a spare unless you need to return a core.
EDIT - this is the post where I did the starter rebuild on my 62. Literally 3 parts to replace.

I was yet again "that guy" working on his old ass truck in the kinda fancy hotel parking lot. Got the starter swapped out in less than an hour while crushing two beers to my skull. Some call it motivation, I call it... motivation.
Sounds less like late stage Elvis's gut bouncing along on a jog and more like that time I motorboated that one.... never mind. It sounds great. Wish it fired off faster but that is probably a fuel thing. Testing if an audio file can be posted but here is a photo as well...

Pro tip (or whatever): the gorilla platform thing in the shot above is invaluable. I bring it everywhere, period. Camping, truck work, work work, it’s amazing. I have two. Randomly saw one in a Home Depot for sale for $36 and snatched it. Couple days later it was almost $100. I bought another.
Lol, was just about to post...whothehell just happens to have a portable platform in their rig?....we know now.
Good idea.
I know the feeling... the best part is when people think I know what i'm doing...
BTDT, Had to swap out my starter motor on my 1987 VW Scirocco in a hotel parking lot when I was moving cross country. As luck would have it, there was a Pep Boys across the street with the starter in stock and I had the 100mm hex key with me so had it changed in 30min. That seems to be the going timeframe, regardless of platform, when changing starters in the wild.
Glad it all worked out Ian!

8 hours for a tundra starter.

I always look at hotel windows. My wife asked why when we were leaving a casino/hotel from a friends bday and I said because you never know when someone is humping with the curtains open. Then, as if by divine intervention, I said like there! And pointed to a ground level room and a quite healthy lady, clearly drunk, changing with the curtains and the slider open about 20’ from us and facing out!

Slow start might be a dirty cold start injector.
