Nice! Hey, did anyone here end up with that nice looking steering wheel?

 

[destin]

I was bidding on it for a while, but then it just got to rich for my blood

I also noticed my 64 wheel was a little different ( chrome around the toyota emblem, and slightly different steering wheel spoke arrangement. )

The steering wheel was in good looking shape though!

Now i just need to wait for em to show up and clean and paint them

( seems it`s " my yellow " )

hmm good pics.

Maybe i need to find a different yellow to paint it?

 

[wesintl]

it's the right color. in my pic is a 66 jack freshly painted. Behind it is my original 64 jack. The 66 jack has phillips screws the 64 has sloted.

Thanks works for me.

Nice Jack, got an extra?

Those jacks look cool. And they fit in the tool box too. I know my '63FST would love one.

Stoked about the jack

Hey question!

To all you cats with the early heaters like the one i picked up...

Do you guys happen to have any photos of the fire wall side where the heater tubes come through and connect? Want to see what that all looks like

Thanks!

[My wife said no FJ!]

My guess is that a really nice set will be getting up past the $500 by now...a really nice set!

Wes, you have some really good pics of the tool bag? Might try and repro one this winter when I should have a little more time. Looking for exact size, stitching, logos...stuff like that.

Guess i will be just patient and keep my eyes open
