Hello From Spain and ready to

[Battleweapons]

Do you guys get across some Fuse block covers in the states, because here it is impossible to find... the transparent ones with the clips on top and bottom... the real question is : should I give up on that little part ? Any clues are welcome

Goto: toyodiy.com and enter your truck data. Skip option 1 the VIN entry. Fill out option 2. Market, Year, Model, Frame code and so on and you'll find this:

No miracles there....I need 82611-60050 (09/1977 - 09/1978) 1 € 22.28...but it is out of production.... If anyone knows where to find a used one I am interested...

those are discontinued here as well... only 79+ AFAIK

try around for used i guess

 

[winnie]

check the classifieds here, especially someone parting out a 40 ... you may get lucky and find one, but shipping will add significantly to the cost ...

Can i ask where you got the soft top?

 

[Battleweapons]

OCD Top , a guy called Jim, but from what I read about him , this guy is no longer making tops....sad, because apparently those are the best tops available on the market.... I got lucky I guess.

I know someone who is in the process of making the fuse box covers... Hang tight. They hopefully will no longer be "unobtanium" (that is your clue...)

Nice job on the restoration! You did a very nice job!
