Looking great bud :) awesome to see it moving around under its own power. Who's booster and mastercylinder setup did you go with? Holden's 40 is an 70 model 3 hole master no booster unlike the 74 - later 4 hole master/booster. I bought an adapter from Mark in CA to fit a 4 hole booster/master off my 74 but its going to hit the carb. I'm going through all our parts keeping enough to build the 2 and getting rid of all the rest. Its time to get busy :)
 
It is the Tundra booster (looks like the single diaphragm type) mated to an old school GM mc. I bought the mc from lowrange with the adapters to bolt up to 4 bolt double diaphragm booster if needed down the road. So to use the GM MC on the Tundra booster had to open up the two mounting holes and use the push rod extension out of the lowrange adapter kit. Hope you follow all that.

Looking good bud!

Maybe I'll have the 80 redone soon... Maybe
 
Swapped to the Lexus SC400 oil filter housing. The Tundra oil filter was to close to the steering ram even with the cooler removed.

Building a 10" sub box to add a little bass to the tunes. Facing the sub to the firewall to hopefully hide it from elements and sticky fingers.

Broke a stock axle shaft and Warn locking hub at MardiKrawl before snapping the rear output on the T case. So to upgrade I went with the RCV output shaft, East Coat Gear and Supply chromoly shafts, and drive slugs for the axles. Had a little issue getting the broke side hub wheel bearing off the spindle. Ended up having to make relief cuts on the inside of the spindle and bending the strips away the bearing to allow it to come off.
