Waiting on parts...I never could get the fuel pump to work, there was 12V at the connector, just no life out of the pump.
So we dropped the tank today to inspect and found this mess...new pump and filter are ordered.

It looks pretty clean, the B12 cleaner got most of the funk out. I will put some more in today and give it a final cleaning.

Well, being on a parts delay led to seeing if the windows worked...Driver's is sloooow, passenger rear decent, the other two a faint click and nada. Voltage is good and running a jumper to the motor works...so switches. There's a lot of buildup on the contacts and one of the driver's switches was pretty melted inside. All of the rocker contact things are in the ultrasonic cleaner.
Odds are, I will throw a relay in each door to switch power and take the stress off the switches. There's a really detailed write up somewhere on here. Simple enough I suppose. We'll see how well these clean up and operate.

All this gas tank work reminded me, and forgive me if this was covered in
your thread, did you check to see if your 60 had the gas tank recall performed?
Or if it qualified for that recall? Cuz it would be WAY easier to have Mr. T take
care of the whole kit and caboodle for free.

I called this morning before I dropped the tank, fingers crossed that it hadn't been done...that and the rear seat belts. I was laughing thinking about towing this to the dealership with no hood and a gutted interior. Both recalls were done March of 92. Bummer.
Thanks for that post!
I recently asked my local dealer about the fuel tank and the seat belt recall. They told me they didn't have a way to check :|
crap, that would have been sweet.
I'm pretty sure they lied to you.
Edit: Oh, didn't notice you were Canadian. Maybe...Call Toyota USA

Now that the fuel pump and wiring sidetrack is over, back to regularly scheduled programming 
It was in my gut to drop the tank from the beginning but when I pulled the sender and saw the inside of the tank, I talked myself into getting by with cleaner. My fault. It sure seems an access panel for the pump would have been in the works...could have moved the hard line disconnect up there instead of the long leads coming out of the pump...sure would have saved a bunch of trouble. But who am I to argue with Mr Ts engineering...99 times out of 100, I think how logical it is. I think that's what got me hooked, everything on the 60 makes perfect sense in my mechanical brain. The 62 starts delving into the voodoo of a computer controlling everything. I've wrenched on most domestics, Jeep being my least favorite with their some metric, some SAE approach, get a 32nd of an inch turn on a nut and have to rotate the open end to get another 32nd approach...The Toyota engineering stands apart.
So, tonight, finished cleaning up the contacts and such for the window controls. Everything came out clean but the passenger front window is sa lo oo oo oo w. An improvement from a slight click and no movement but still. Cleaned the tracks with a wire wheel, lubed every moving or friction surface, took motor apart and cleaned brushes and rotor surface, Meguires on all the rubber...either there is a big voltage drop or the motor is shot. Didn't put a meter on the motor. To be continued as the transmission gaskets and strainer are waiting for install.

I sat here for a while trying to figure out how I was going to get the transmission gasket on and lined up...turns out, the holes on the rubber gasket are small enough to hold the bolts. Good stuff. This is the WIX kit.
North of you. Just south of Santa Maria. I hope you’re okay. Fire season has been CRAZY here in CA this year. I don’t think there’s been an unaffected area and some have gotten hit multiple times.
Just starting to come off the drought, and get hit with a season of wildfires. SHEESH.

Had a little time last night and today to put most of the dash components back in. Sorry about the upcoming document dump, this is kind of my electronic manual..

Order of removal of dash components, that worked for me. The last 4 need to be done in this order...you could take out the blower motor enclosure after the evap enclosure but the evap enclosure is first.
Glove box
Computer
Dash bezels and instrument clusters
Radio
Dash
Air ducts
AC evap enclosure
Heater core enclosure
Blower motor enclosure
Defrost ducting

The flexible lines just slide off each end. One of the dash supports has to be removed first then it can be slid out of there.

Nice pics and description. Hoping that you are hosting those somewhere nice so they will stick around for a long time!
