Found the good stuff today. I had ordered a bunch of this white rubber running board material a while back. Finally able to locate it today and plan to get it over to @wngrog one day next week.

Man. That’s a scary thing to do.

I’m going to go get some of the recommended Permatex for the gasket before I bolt it all up.

Easy kit with Walbro that just requires 4 tack welds to hold the backing place for the screws they secure the pump and return.

This is pretty mandatory for the fuel injection as the old tanks don’t have provisions for a return or a good vent.

Looks great! Basically the same one @FJ60Cam sold me for my 60! Make sure you do use the permatex on gasket and threads on each screw. I sprung a couple leaks without it.

If you spray some self etch primer from a bomb into a solo cup, use a small paint brush and get that raw metal, it will stop rust and keep the paint from peeling.

I don’t know how much these shops work on these nicely painted trucks. I scratched everything just putting these 4 parts on.

It’s all got to come off again but man. I needed to see it

That looks great. Working around the fresh paint isnt enjoyable until the task is over. Depending on how well the fenders are coated, a jumper ground to the body of the turn signal light might not be a bad idea. It’s hard to get to bare metal with the mounting stud/nut.

Got some of the internal parts in that Powder Keg Coatings finished.

Beautiful stuff to go with a beautiful truck.

Still looking for that Large 67 and older 4WD knob please.

Amazing build thread. Giving me plenty of ideas.

A little help please!

First is giving the paint time to fully cure. It's pretty soft at first.

Next trick is masking tape. Not the beige stuff - the blue (good), yellow (better), or green (best). It's not just for masking off before paint, it's also for protecting the paint when you're working around the painted surfaces afterwards.

Great tip. Thank you

This is the fun part. I love this beautiful powder coated stuff. It’s tough.

The wiring harness on this truck is beautiful. The only problem is that it had so much overspray. I worked real hard getting the exposed wires clean and was working even harder to get the paint off the black loom tape when I realized Beno tossed in a roll of Toyota tape in the last box.

Even though it will have to be taken apart again, most all of the truck will be assembled before it leaves my shop for Mosley Motors for the drivetrain install. A lot of this stuff will be out of the way so it won’t have to be uninstalled

I love an Elephant Horn. Does anyone make the repro stickers for these? @SMG?

Interior stuff. It still has the stock fuse box cover

The firewall has a few extra holes but I’m getting them plugged

Nice work, be careful you are toeing the line into the dark side.

I would never worry about such nonsense on any of my piles of junk

 

[SMG]

Let me have a look at my files. I think I may have them. If so I’ll send a couple with your Stainless Hinge Pin Sets.
Thanks!

Check horn wiring at relay.

Is the main harness getting any protection?

I’ve not hooked any of that up. What are you asking ? I’m looking for a sticker

Yesterday I ventured out of quarantine to run a few errands. Top of my list was getting this truck registered. Well, actually I bought a boat that I needed to get registered and figured I would knock out this truck and the 63 as well. Only problem is that Leon County is shutdown and you cannot register a car or do anything in person. Seems like an essential service to me but whatever. What a drag. But, the neighboring county to the East was open for business and got everything handled with no hassle.

It looks like I will be over at @wngrog’s early next week to drop off some stuff and see the truck. Can’t wait.
