I was eyeballing this 60 on Charleston marketplace for a while! Glad to see you scooped it up and are bringing some life back into it.

When you book it in for the tank recall, provide your dealer with a new pickup tube and sending unit, which they will reinstall for free because the tech has to remove the old ones. Those are not covered in the recall and your orginals will likely be in rough shape. You can still buy the pickup and sending unit new.

Here is a chart that @TX85FJ put together that has all the OEM hose numbers and the equivalents available from Rock Auto. Really useful.
@2mbb also added a chart to that same thread with valuable hose info.

Got some more of the knuckles put together today. Found out I was missing the cone washer from where a previous owner had installed the superwinch hubs. Also, realized I only ordered 1 Aisin locking hub. So ordering another one and the cone washers. Rheostat did arrive and I installed it.

Started working on some of the led lights. Having trouble with the speedometer gauge on the right side not lighting up. Not sure what the issue is with that. Put on oil filter housing seal and cleaned oil cooler. Hopefully going to finish up installing tune up kit tomorrow

Today I got a few things done… cut out the rust on the rear part of the frame that was hidden behind the bumper. Played around with the dash lights and got all of them working correctly. Finally I pulled out the steering linkage to start rebuilding it with the new ends. For the bumpers I think I’m going to go back with using channel iron or something similar. Nothing fancy.
Does anyone have experience cutting the part of the rocker panels that hang down about and inch or so? Mine is pretty beat up and I was thinking about cutting it off and putting rock sliders in it’s place.
Thanks

dash lights look great, but that knuckle looks overpacked. should be only 3/4 full.

I’ve been kinda slack lately due to work and other obligations. I scooped some of the grease out of the knuckles. Ordered the other hub. This past weekend I got the oil cooler reinstalled, oil pan installed, new spark plugs and filled the oil. Since the hubs had been switched out at some point I’m missing come washers and will have to order those. I plan on trying to work on the steering this week. Currently I’m soaking everything in kroil oil. I’m sure there are a couple other things I forgot to mention. I do need to find some bumpers for it. I plan on keeping an eye out in the classified section.
@chandlerhayes01 You've now exposed yourself as a Weber carb guy with that last photo. Get ready for the hate incoming in 3, 2, 1...
(really though, go with a rebuilt OEM Aisin carb!
