i think im officially over the hump.

I was going to leave the dash alone but there was one small speck of dust to the right of the cluster so I wet sanded it with 1500 and 2000 grit and buffed it out. Couldn't be happier with the results

finally today I put the bedliner on the inside. sometimes I hate prep work. Taping the truck off and putting little rolls of tape in all the holes took many many hours.

Looks great! What product are you using for the liner?

antFJ · Dec 29, 2014

Tintable raptor lining. 4 cans did the inside with two coats. Tinted with omni mtk acyrilic urethane

Yup spray on liner. If you buy the correct kit it comes with the gun.

Paint code is toyota 303 fashion green. It was in the ppg computer system

Don't have a current picture but the truck is almost running and driving. Having a hard time getting fuel to the carb right now. New everything in the fuel system. Engine runs with gas down the carb. I can suck a mouth full of fuel right before the filter.

How have people solved the 3 speed on the column and headers issue? I am going to have to swap out for a stock exhaust manifold i think.

antFJ · Jan 5, 2015

Some home made fixes include a bicycle brake cable for the inner core of the throttle cable. A tractor throttle cable from tractor supply for the choke and hand throttle cables. And a spark plug boot for the 3 speed shifter arm bushing.

Pictures...

Cut old wire off throttle cable and use a dremel to dig a trench for a new cable. I used solder to weld in the new wire. Then shape it with a file. Then reassemble.
