Builds My 45PU has an LV for a friend...

Time to knock the dust off some of those fine Cruisers you have stashed

That is some real patina! Nice.

Back on the detail stuff today.....blasted and sprayed these with Steel It.

Anybody know which way the door interior door pulls are supposed to go? Mine weren't on it when I got the truck. I had an LV a while back that had them mounted like this. A Google search showed them the other way. Wouldn't want to lose any points at a concours event. Ha.

 

[c2dfj45]

Anybody have a source for these? I had a couple of them on a spare door I have but they are toast.

 

[c2dfj45]

We ended up running all of are wiring down the drivers side cowl....there's a nice channel there. We then put them into the frame and ran the looms forward and back in the frame. It looked pretty stupid being exposed and of course it was vulnerable to debris being kicked up, things being run over, etc. I had the guys come up with a way to hide them and protect them. Pretty cool setup. We'll clamp that harness to that outrigger and it will be really well secured.

Found a place for a cool pic...this is 1/4 mile from a runway at Tampa International. Ha.

... the yellow steering damper is a no go if you want to win Pebbles Beach Concours d`Elegance ( would paint it black)

Your door pulls are mounted the same way as my LV. Mine have never been removed.

 

[JLawson]

Looking Awesome! I just saw my LV with the top back on. It was hard to be too excited since it looks the same as when I brought it in but a bit more expensive. Kyle did a lot of nice work under the roof that I did not think I would have to do but it beats doing it after the fact. Yeah, I have been trying to source those snap plugs for the doors as well with no luck. Closest thing I have found was a Harley Davidson part. But it is really too big. Maybe these could be printed on a 3D printer? Anyone?

Cool....thanks for that on the handles.

How many gallons of gas can you put in your tank?

 

[JackA]

Pretty sure it's an 18 gallon tank. I rock the truck side to side to get the air out and fill the tank.

 

[c2dfj45]

I think 18 is what the calculations came out to be when we ran the measurements. Thanks.

Did you find any of these? I may have a couple.

 

[Michael B]

I think there are plugs similar to those on the FJ60 tailgate.

Hey Dukes....I just started looking for the plugs. Obviously I can make something work...was just wondering if anyone knew of something that might not require me to reinvent the wheel.

 

[Pauciflora]

Simply gorgeous. One of my favourite builds. Cheers, Ben

 

[cppilot]

Stunning, and true craftsmanship. Enough said.....

That's good info. I will check my 60 and report back.

 

[c2dfj45]

Yeah....curious to know if they have them.
