If they’ll let me book and head in, I just may do it. I’m due for an Austin trip. It will be a while.

90 miles on it today. Just feeling it out after the Outputshaft nut came loose.
New exhaust is dead silent, I love and hate the 4.11 gears, and the ac is freezing.
It needs a better radiator. This current CSF was rebuilt but it previously leaked in my 60. It doesn’t keep up temps at cruise. Got to 216* at 90* outside doing 3000 rpm on a back road.
Comes down as soon as I slow down. Lots of options and I want to just keep this simple.

I've put a Champion 3-core in all my 60's without issue - not sure if that fits a 62 but would be my vote if so.

Identical. I have one in my 60 and it has exceeded my expectations.

The stock 62 is such a great truck with just the 5 speed.

Yes.
Really makes the truck.
Man, that 62 is fun to drive. I was surprised how peppy it was for a Land Cruiser. Real race tractor capable with those little tires.
Amazing work. I’ve put mine on the back burner for far too long. After being in storage during my Alaska tour and now having a 3-5 year old I’m really itching to going through mine with “all” my spare time. I really appreciate your whole write up.

Thanks for that part number (55401-90A05-03).
I guess the “03” is the color? My pad is brown so I wonder what the correct code is for that… off to the googs!

Looks like it’s “06” in case anyone was wondering…
