Build Goat. A 1967 survivor FJ-45 LWB

Then I added the @65swb45 approved cup holder

Would create a cup holder out of an old Coca Cola crate. *
(I own two of them brought from the USA)

All you need is a saw and some rusted nails

or glue & red paint.

Yeah it works nicely.

And this should make my headache rack bars happy

... good morning Mississippi how are you ?
What you need beside your 40 & 45 is a real snow plough.
A 4 wheel drive snow plough equipped with an engine in the front & one in the rear

Anyone know what these chains are for?

 

[wngrog]

Are these patches in the bed OEM? They look at.....ish. Mainly because of the dopey Phillips Head that Toyota loves so ....

Tire chain cross links.

Tire chain cross links.

Being a Mississippi boy tire chains have never been in my wheelhouse. Thank you.

Early 1F vacuum question:

This truck runs great so I’m wondering what I’m missing here.

I think the PCV for this truck is here on the oil fill tube. It’s wide open and the carburetor base plate is plugged.

Hook it up? Is this PCV still available or should I put an in line valve here.

Here’s what my 65 looks like...

Hose runs from fitting on oil filler over the valve cover to the carb isolator.

 

[wngrog]

My fitting looks like a PCV valve. Yours is just a fitting. Wonder if something this old needs a valve

 

[DomSmith]

I don't remember if that fitting rattles (valve) when off. I'd say attach a hose and see how it runs. If it sucks, pull it off.

 

[wngrog]

Brilliant advice. The OEM PCV is goner. This one is a replacement and it is doing nothing either

I guess I’ll just put a later PCV in line north of this one and see how it all runs.

I changed the oil and cleaned the oil bath filter element. That was interesting. I’ve never seen one before.

I got the housing mostly clean. Good enough for this old Goat.

Lastly I moved my OEM gas can from Patina to the Goat. It just needs to be back here

I sent to hazard switch out yesterday.

Keep up the good work.

The 4 corners of the bed floor are seperate pieces of metal attached at the wheel wells with large phillips head screws. With that said it appears to be a patch under that spare tire.

 

[cppilot]

Yes, separate pieces..
