Looks great!
minor thing, but you need 4 side hood bumpers. the ones on the left side are broken anyway., right side are missing ..I bet the rubber is stone hard after so many years. they are available from toyota.
i changed the front ones too, the screws might be seized with rust.
carefull, the pre 1990 ones are all different to post 1990. go with the vin code.

I m sorry l can't get it could you show them on the picture
I will send you the codes, but look underneath the hood,along the outer edge and you will see small patches where the bumpers rubbed and removed the paint.
if you put back the instrument panel cover, maybe its worth to put small stripe of foam on the edge, so you dont get noise when you drive through potholes.
I also tighten with care the screws back in, since the plastic is old and likely to crack.
they are cool cruisers, but old. and they need extra care.
but then, they are still cool trucks....

When cold start the oil pressure is up to 8 after 3-4min. it drops to 4 ....when it's higher than 4 if I push the gas petal the oil filter is browned up it's exploded by the higher oil pressure.
I checked the oil filter base and the 2 bay pass valves with no luck

What's your definition of 'cold' for cold starts? And could you explain the longer oil pressure spring and piston? I don't know what
you are talking about. I've been using a 12HT up here, and so far no issues with cold starts, but I do have a continuous leaking
oil filter.
