I'd like to mention something here, while you have the paint gun out and might help others make a decision. I know stock paint jobs do not have the door jams painted body color (where the green comes across the doors), but you sure can see the white paint with the doors closed. To me, it would be aggravating after all that hard work. I had mine painted green across there and the gaps don't stick out as bad, just a thought. 
Congrats on your Grandchild, your life has changed forever.

It seems like this Grandpa thing could be pretty nice.Congrats Grampy or Grumpy
I have a thing with painting Cruisers the same color and the same color scheme as they came factory, the only one I changed years ago was a white 40, looking back I wish I would have kept it white.

I’ve always noticed the odd white jams on the 55’s, but it’s just one of those quirks I’m willing to accept, but when I was taping it I was questioning myself.I'd like to mention something here, while you have the paint gun out and might help others make a decision.

Congratulations on the grandchild. We have four now. They are certainly special. Pig looks fantastic! Hopefully I will see the day when mine looks that good.

Hey Scott,
Congrats on the new addition to the family.
I want to know the same thing. How come you have two pigs, live within a hundred miles of me and I don't know it?
I am down in Eagle Mountain and I also own two pigs. I also have a 1979 and a 1976 that has a few modifications. You story is very familiar with me as I also have a 40 that I am rebuilding that has taken most of my time away from the pigs. Kind of scary!
Anyway, I do have plans for the 79 piggy that would include me having a stock power steering setup and a bench seat available at some time in the future. We should probably talk.
Sounds like some nice Pig action over in the SLC area.!There is another '76 up in the Kaysville area,the guy just swapped in a chev V6.I forgot his name, but I also have a 55 and a 40 within 100 miles
I moved Mom out to SLC in '22. My oldest sister and her family are over there too. Next time I head over it would be nice to meet some/all y'all!

Question, I'm installing the chrome drip rail, but some of the metal clips are broken that holds the chrome to the drip rail. I can't locate the part number, does anyone have a part number for the clips? or have an option for clips for that particular year of chrome trim?

I assume you are talking about these: No idea if they actually have them. Kind of a roll of the dice with Amayama.

Diagram appears to show 3. Not sure if that's correct as its listed as a "standard part" and no quantity is given.

Thanks, I couldn’t tell if those were the clips or if they were the joining pieces between the lengths of chrome. I’ll see if they happen to still be available.I assume you are talking about these: No idea if they actually have them. Kind of a roll of the dice with Amayama.

Lost my Air Pump on my 60, it stranded me on the way to work today, might be the first time a Landcruiser has left me stranded. 
Got to find me a smog elimination kit and get it coming. I'd like to keep the smog, but can't believe how much the remans are these days. Don't really think it'll matter, I'm pretty sure it'll still pass smog here in Utah and I'm not too worried about the visual. Anyway, again, no time for the 55.

Cruiser parts has them for $5.99 each, don't call out the 55 specifically but if you have dimensions you could call to match them up. I found a
