Delancy's NEW 76 PIGGY ??? (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

There's no provision for an ebrake on a split case, so you've got some options:


[*]Non-US split case outputshaft/drum: Unobtanium
[*]BTB disk ebrake conversion: Crappy at best
[*]Late 40/60 drum integrated ebrake: What I'm doing
[*]Eldorado disk calipers w/ integrated ebrake: Mixed reviews


You can't put the integrated drums on a 55 axle, they have the early 6-bolt flange instead of the later 4-bolt. I sourced a crusty late 40 axle and rebuilt it, so now I have a surplus The '79 was the only 55 to ever come with 3:73 gears stock, so it's pretty rare?

So you will lose the mounts for sway bar links?

Check this out, a gift from Alberto SD from his El Salvadorian 79 BJ40.

Perfect. Can't wait to swap the Grant for.

That said, how easy is it gonna be to swap the Grant out?

Not a problem, rent a steering wheel puller, or buy one at Harbor Freight.
Center button has 3 long screws, with small heads, that you need to unscrew from the rear.
Not sure how the center button on the Grant wheel comes off.

Not sure how the center button on the Grant wheel comes off.

Me, either.

I recall someone selling a conversion for the Grant, so hopefully not a lot to undue to swap.

That center is correct for the '76, the '72 would have come with a red upper-case T with a ring around it. Luckily for you that center will pop right out and it will be much easier to find a nice red T than steering wheel and pad

Turns out, I have one on a steering wheel that's seen much better days....

 

[Delancy]

Creative packaging.








Onur found at ACC Toyota a few minutes after deciding to go with the H55.

Rebuilt and already PCd.

Now, the thought had crossed mind, (better stop reading here, Onur)....

Isn't the H55 due the same PC treatment?

Bahahaha.

 

[Delancy]

Since I can't drive it, nor begin working on it, leaves only taking about it, so.....

Roof is caved in and appears to be from an impact of some sort, as it's pulled the seam on the DS enough to expose rustable metal.

Repair of replace?










Any clues on where one could find the center cover, ring, or whatever this is coined?

ASCOs are gonna need some love.



Can't tell if this is residue from the carpet underlay, some kind of adhesive, or a rust inhibitor, but the pans all look phenomenally good compared to any of my others.









Rocker rot (will be calling, Bob)






Now, a dumb one, or at least flame-able.

Can I convert to lower grille signals, like the earlier grilles, by simply cutting the depressed area out and mounting lights behind in, what appears to be, the provided locations?






Anyone know of a means to fab or source a very small, fender mounted turn signal in a chrome-able housing that looks like half a headlight surround?





This appears to be booger welded, but can't determine why it'd have needed to have been reworked.

Look right?



The POs door fix. Not quite as elegant as Ron's....

Not seeing any other way but replacement, nor does it appear that the 71 doors will work.

 

[Delancy]

By all measuring abilities, the OE cleaner will work with the Trollhole 3F carb, 3F manifolds with a little work on the lower lip that attaches to carb.



Not sure if it'd be worth replicating the 3F intake and moving battery, but it is a clean look. 3F cleaner assembly is not cheap.






Believe everything but the charcoal canister and horn can be removed.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

yes you can...

 

[Delancy]

yes you can...

A post of monumental implications, so quoting for posterity, as that's the least text you've ever typed in a post, period.....and all to a biblically proportioned inquiry.

Bahahaha.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

keep em guessing

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

so let's see...you're going to run a vac advance diz, a 3F carb/manifold. you are going to need the outer vent control valve to play with your charcoal can- it gets 12V when rig is on and allows vapor to find its way from charcoal can to carb, shuts valve when rig is off to keep vapors from atmosphere. you will need a ported vac source to operate your diz advance- prolly just a ported nipple on carb base. you will need vac for brake booster and A?C idle-up diaphram- both manifold sourced. SO, you can delete the vacuum surge tank and the VSV, leave the horn and the hydraulics, but yes, everything but horn and charcoal can and hydraulics can be deleted from emissions system left overs...better?

note: the vsv can be used to operate the charcoal can to carb port, OR you can source an outer vent control valve from a 60/carbed 70 series...so, maybe leave it and just cap unused ports? naw, you'll remove it and use the right part

 

[tucker74]

ASCOs are gonna need some love.

Just finishing my axle job, was surprised the hub bodies had surface rust on the plated part. Just degreased and installed mine, be aware yours will be the same from the pic ...

Can I convert to lower grille signals, like the earlier grilles, by simply cutting the depressed area out and mounting lights behind in, what appears to be, the provided locations?

I'd just drill a hole and mount small rectangular LED signals right there, plenty of options from motorcycle applications

Tuckers on the same track I would take...but if you found some toyota-ish lights to cut-into the grille, you could do that too. I'd bet there would be several models of yotas in yunk jards around that would have suitable marker lights you could do that with. FWIW, I have thought about the simple rectangular LED marker type lights for that spot, ala suggested by Tuck..they would work well and not look terribly out of place...

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

the only reason I haven't done it yet(besides the fact it ain't broke) is that, I think the best results of a turn indicator would have some sort of sideways output, as well as front and rear. As my truck is now, the only sideways directed indicators are the fender mounted singals, and they don't cast alot of sideways. you could rig your rear side markers to flash (can't remember if they already do...), and forego the front-ish sideways directed indicators and still have decent exposure to provide warning...food for thought...

Chris, send it East and I will take care of it.

Thanks Bob.

Hmmmm.....

so let's see...you're going to run a vac advance diz, a 3F carb/manifold.

on a 76 2F block with all later internals.....

Guess the "right part" verbiage should probably be defined.

Bahaha.

you are going to need the outer vent control valve to play with your charcoal can- it gets 12V when rig is on and allows vapor to find its way from charcoal can to carb, shuts valve when rig is off to keep vapors from atmosphere...

Is this guy responsible for the ice caps melting?

Theoretically it should work...I capped mine (3rd Outer Vent line). I do have a Desmoggd Rig though so its not presenting any problems. It may affect your emissions based on your location. Im sure someone will chime in with more input...

60 OE





Robbed from other thread...





The solution....







Researching the 60 setups further, but based on what I believe you're saying, I'd use a 60 series VCV, instead of cobbling up the current?

you will need a ported vac source to operate your diz advance- prolly just a ported nipple on carb base

Oddly, I do not have on the 3F base...

 

[Delancy]

Any votes for the combo signal/headlight?

Not my favorite, but....

Guess I could always swap for an early grill, if recessing even newer LEDs were the goal.

...food for thought...

Unsure the legality, but if it were an absolute necessity, could mount the earlier style to the front fender face as a dual purpose parking/turn, same with the rear.

Not really certain what avenue travel, but feel a lower profile signal on the top of the fender is a must, at the very least.

Ron had suggested VWs, which promoted a Google search resulting decent options that cast forward and to the side, but all curved bases.

Need carbs for further thought.,.

 

[Delancy]

Thanks Bob.

Ok. Probably early spring, but can drive there from Colorado.

Need rockers, roof, and a few erroneous holes patched and the door hinge reinforcements....which may be a new product line up for you when things slow down.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

not insulator, but on base of carb...one of those 3 ports on the vacuum tube rail of carb...is that Trollhole? ask him which one is vac advance...I know those guys with aussie 60-70 series had some info on this you posted in...I'd use that auto zone canister and vent valve as pictured above personally. Then delete 76 VSV and vacuum surge tank and early/old/non-functional 30+ year old charcoal canister.....
