My '84 60 build, "Wallace"

I made them gender specific so that I can't accidentally swap the supply and return hoses & tubes. So the supply hose ends are all female and the return hose ends are all male. To mate them to the OE tubes I silver soldered a modified AN -6 steel plug onto the supply tube and a pre-flared short section of 3/8" steel tube with AN tube nut and sleeve onto the return tube.

All of the fittings are Weatherhead "Push-Lock" and the hose is Aeroquip FC332. These just push together and without a clamp (clamps are actually bad for them) the service pressure rating is 250 psi and the hose is good for up to 300*f service temperature. FC332 hose is virtually impervious to any kind of fuel or oil. Long term total submersion of a short sample of the hose in gasoline showed no effect on the hose what so ever.
 
this is the info I was looking for. Thanks for all the help along the way....
I also love this Wallace thread too. always have. and I find myself coming back here too!
 
Opened. Bumped.
 
Thanks!
Nothing new to report except that my shop is finally getting close to being finished. Its been 3.5 moves, two escrows, a wedding, a total house remodel, and nearly a year of unemployment since I've been able to put any real time or money into this project.
 
We are all human. Sounds like you've had some good times. Hope things pick up for ya so you can get some Landcruiser back in your bloodstream. Because it really is a drug. :D
 
If you need a hand with anything let me know.

This project is not only stalled, I don't see it reviving. Life has moved to the point where it is redundant. I'm considering parting it out. Rust has arrived in the gutters and I'd like to see someone get it before it is too late. PM with any interest. If none, I'll be putting up a FS thread as soon as I figure out if it's going whole (with everything) or as a roller set-up for an SBC/700R4 combo.
 
Oh noooooooo! Sorry to hear this bad news. Hopefully someone will just take it over and complete the build. You have done some amazing work and I would hate to see it broken up. Let me know if I can be of any assistance in the process. If you decide to part it let me know as well as I may scavenge parts from you for another project I am considering.

Dyno :(
 
My wife has taken to the pop-top camper/CTD Dodge pick-up like I never expected. Doubt that I'll be able to get her back into the off-road tent trailer. Being able to cook inside is too much of a bonus to her. Strike one. As the CTD is an extended cab it fills the "need to haul other folks around" need. Strike two. Then the opportunity to own a truck that I've coveted since the PO first started the build came up and I jumped. Strike three. In order to slim down the number of vehicles parked around here I'll likely sell off Patch as well.
 
Best of luck, @ntsqd . And if circumstances change and you find yourself blessed owning another 60 in the future, us folks here in the 60 section would once again be grateful for your contributions to this 60 Forum!
 
Good-bye, my old friend......
