That's rad! I was one of the lucky ones to ride down with Rob and pick up the garage full of stuff. Nice to see it get used, as some of the parts were golden and some not so much! Keep it up

I look forward to three things I see in this build: 1. the time to do a parts build 2. the parts to do a parts build 3. the skill to do a parts build!!!

I would kill to have a 2F just sitting in the yard. My '69 has a 3/'62 F135 in it (courtesy of one of the PO's).

Look forward to another exciting build D'animal

Dan, I am literally ROTFLMAO because I know one thing FOR SURE


















THIS IS GONNA BE THE RIG THAT PASSES THE TLCA TECH INSPECTION!!!!!!

 

[D'Animal]

Pitman Arm was being a bugger to remove so I rebuilt the box with the other shaft while still on the pedestal.

 

[D'Animal]

I was able to pull new bearings from my New old Stock box O stuff.

As far as I can go on the column until I find a steering wheel with the correct size spline.

Is that on DVD? That and The Car would be fund to watch again...

 

[D'Animal]

These are soaking in some penetrant so they will be easier to disassemble.

The original owner cut them all.

 

[D'Animal]

The old steering column parts.

 

[D'Animal]

The Dual front shocks are going By By.

 

[D'Animal]

Used the Extra one from the shed.

 

[D'Animal]

The front bushings were bad but I have seen a lot worse.

The rear spring bushings in the front springs were gone. That was the only piece in either of the springs.

 

[D'Animal]

New to the Rig axle installed all the way down to the factory Toyota steering dampner.

 

[D'Animal]

I found these while digging for new U-bolts.

I was so tempted to install these.

They will probably go on my 1976.

 

[65swb45]

Now if you could just convince your wife to let you try making those U-bolts into some horse shoes....!

You gonna have this thing running in time for the Bakersfield swap meet?

Maybe you should tow it down regardless, for a 'show and tell' at the dealership!
