New guy, old rig. 😬

Been lusting for a Pig, got one a couple months ago. 1976. Got her from Mike (a forum member) near Tri-Cities in WA. Nice 350 TBI with 700R4. Sorry purists...
A bunch of other nice stuff, 4 wheel disk, Saginaw PS etc.
Because I’m old and fat I needed AC. I have just finished installing a Vintage Air setup. Note I didn’t say kit... they don’t make a 55 kit. If it’s worthwhile I will post a how-to to save others from starting from scratch. Looking forward to getting out in the desert and exploring!
(Sorry bout the Chevy hood emblem. Hopefully the license plate helps make up for it)

I wasn’t sure I was doing it right. . I’ll post some more!

Would like to see details of your a/c install. Might have to copy your emblem idea. Or see if I can run down one of those old school Chevota emblems. I think those came from Downey. First in line if there any left and you’re still hanging around here Jim.

Beautiful! Congrats @Hobbs81 ! You started off right!

Would love more info on the AC setup. Nice piggie also.

 

[Hobbs81]

I’ll start an AC thread this weekend. It’s not too bad... but gotta tear out everything stock, which sucks. But AC is a must.

Please take that emblem off the hood

The land cruiser is made by Toyota, just as the grill states.

love the KM1s on the front though.

I really wish BFG would make the ATs and MTs in 35 10.50. I love the pizza cutter look but would like them a bit taller...
