hhhhmmmmm, i've got 6 tailgates here (although one has undercoating still on most of it and i may have not peeled it from the correct section) that suggest otherwise, i haven't looked inside twrecks tailgate

The only color I've found is rust. Haha.
Get this. The 72 gate has mustard in it, yet it's not mustard in original form.
Just an odd swipe, that's nonsensical in location. in the color the entire interior and exterior was once, but the inner gate was white with what looks like oversprayed shot of mustard.

Delancy, any part on the PIG with the exception of the tub should have that swatch of paint. That's how they knew the color during final assembly. Its in every door, tailgate and inner fender on my PIG.
Thanks Bob.

Will inspect the 72 closer next week, cause all I've seen is mustard on interiors of anything, and the green under the bondo.

hhhmmmm...again, i checked the three rigs that don't have door panels or quarter panels in, a 69, a 72 and a 78 and none have swatches of paint. original colors were; 69 was peublo brown, 72 was green, and 78 was blue.

Santa in August.
Small sampling. No time to open all.
Onur can correct, but I believe this is dang near every OE part possible, at least that I needed which was everything, still available from Toyota.
What's in this box?
Doesn't matter. UPS provides the opposite of what's requested.
Haha. Everything was fine, regardless.
Guess what's in this box?
Once again, all is unscathed, but leave it to UPS to find the weakness of a cardboard box.
Small sampling of the shipment.
I'm going to immediately cut and shred the right side of the line item invoice off, then list what all I've got.

Did you find the little Piggie gift for you yet?

Come on now, you can't show us some axle and brake parts along with a busted box ... lets see some OEM goodies! I don't want to think about what every 55 part in the system costs, but I do want to see what you found

This morning and thank you.
It'll go we'll with the one I received from Japan yesterday with a letter and origami.
Interesting, eh?

It took all I had to break away from last night, an effort to dispel the myth of my "Pigstresses" taking too much time.
Headed now to finish unpacking but a limited time before 80 wrenching and family duties.
To expand, text from Mom....
"We need to visit about your trip etc. and your car fetish?"
My reply
"I reserve "fetish" for deserving acts. Prefer "collection" for my vehicles"
"I'd feel a little peculiar discussing my fetishes with you, but if you insists"
Bahahaha.
I have got to find a way to make room for, at least, parts storage at home.
Delancy,
I used to " hide " VW parts in the attic. My Wife always said I had four VW's up there.

I now have three storage units, totaling 750 square feet of Pigs and parts, yet only have two Pigs here.
Be down to one, come Monday, since 71 and 72 will both be at Britt's, so I'm going to take a look at a better means to organize.
Have OE parts that need to sort into the varying systems, some if which I don't even know where they go.
Have rebuilt parts that need to sort into the OEs, to be able to see what I don't have, and what I need to still rebuild.
Have parts that need machined.
Have parts that I've pulled, blasted, primed white, as an indicator that they're engine bay 202.
Have parts for plating, but want to gather all and send at once....unsure what "all" is.
THEN, have parts that will be for sale, that need to be cataloged, packaged, and organized.
It's a literal 'Sty, right now and my fear is loosing something, or getting to a critical moment and not having something.
Restorations, or whatever I'm doing could be called (since I've no friggin' clue what in doing) are difficult, much more so than what I did on the 80.
That said, since the 76 will be second and more in line with what I'be done before, attacking individual mechanical systems but still driving, should be a better project from a thread readers perspective (descriptive. That's not my concern) hopefully after amassing enough knowledge on this to KNOW what I'm doing.
My immediate concern, regarding all the blabber above, is being able to sort the OE parts from Onur, but some are baffling me, then I need to compare to the original list that Pighead helped compile, and see what's left.
I've bitten off more than I'm capable of chewing on my own, so very, very, very grateful for all of y'all that are helping, to say the least.
The cache from Onur....
List to follow.
In going to yet to sort into the proper categories then see where I screwed up.
Have six hairs left on my head, this morning. How many remain may be the barometer for the degree of difficulty.

All of this during humbling issue, regarding mechanical aptitude gained on the 80.
Have a clunk and a squeak that I can't locate and it's pissing me off.
Swapping TREs (I will never run 555s again, unless there's no option and half price to buy two sets) hoping that there's vertical play in one that I can't replicate manually, then going through every bolt, again, on the entire front end.
Have a starter to swap, isolator that has to be installed, since the last trip out about toasted the primary battery, after winching another 80 up a steep incline, hub studs to swap (back to OE), wheel studs to shorten, and full round of fluids.
Not sure how far I'll get today.
Edited: and shock resis to permanently mount.
Gotta love a zip tie, eh?

I had a similar squeak issue on my 80, ended up being the poly bushings on the OME shocks ... you couldn't get the nut tight enough on the stud under the brake master. Replaced the poly bushings with OEM rubber, torqued the heck out of it using a strap wrench on the shock body and long extension with a wobble on my impact wrench. I also had a clunk at another time, check your sway bar bushings

The shock bushings are new from Radflo, which have proven to be high quality on the FJC.
No sway bar, so that's ruled out.
Best I can ascertain, there's slop either one of the DS TREs that I can't replicate or the pan hard bushing is shot. It's a poly so wouldn't surprise me.
Going to have front and rear pan hards built solid bar, using OE bushings, once I can find someone that can bend it around the front diff or cut the ends of these I have an weld housings that'll accept OEs onto.
Once a length, measurement, configuration is established, having adjustability in any is unnecessary and I'm systematically eliminating.

Are they poly ... not saying they aren't good, saying you can't compress them enough on the DS under the brake master that they don't squeak

Back to the issue of parts inventory - does anyone know a good place to get those parts tags with the built in twist-ties?
They an be blank tags, just want the reinforced "eye" with the twist ties.
I checked at Grainger, and their prices were stoopid...
