Builds Removing SBC conversion, going back to Toyota. 1972 Frame Off

[Jdc1]

WOW that looks good! FYI at one point I think I gave someone we both know my rear drum brakes from my 40 when I changed to disc.
Good luck running the new brake lines. If you stay with drums I have the stainless steel flex rear lines since they were changed.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the comments and help.

I have the iron pig ss flex lines that we ordered with the lift. I had a hard time deciding which way to go with the rear brakes. I used one of your rear drums and backer plate. There is a care package from Onur sitting in kent to finish up the rear brakes, radiator and cooling system. We also have the rest of the parts to finish the clutch and our mechanic has the transfer case finished and is currently resealing tranny. We are slowly inching forward but definitely making progress.

Thanks Onur. @beno

I am ready to finish the rear axle.

OEM parts ready to roll; c clips, brake deflectorz/gaskets, wheel studs and lug nuts.

Also had to sneak a pic of my dad's 60 since it's parked outside.

Getting ready to start plumbing the rear brake lines. I ordered part # st8036 10mm x 1.0 flare nuts from www.classictube.com. Thanks to @Coolerman for his writeups.

Over the past year my dad and I have been accumulating parts. One of the challenges with this truck is that alot of parts were missing. @shmukster has been a great help. Thanks to @beno for being patient as I constantly change and add to each order. We have oem clutch parts ready to install. OEM radiator and hoses. OEM rear wheel cylinders and shoes. And an @davework gold cad kit. Game plan is to get this thing running/driving/stopping before any bodywork. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

As you used to say to me all the time, "aren't we there yet".....and your response would be no, but we have come a long way and isn't this fun?

Today I flared and bent the brake lines for the rear axle. I still have some fine tuning to do but they are close.

More progress, installed for final time(hopefully). Note spacer in between fuel pump and block.

Thanks jason, I'm trying to bridge the gap between practicality and neuroticism.

Today I got about an hour and checked some small things off the list. Dug the alternator out of storage, finished torqueing rear shackles and flywheel bolts(to 75 ft lbs). finished cleaning up diff cover nuts and figured out a hold down for modified brake line path. Clutch install, rear brake shoes, and galley plug fix are next in line.

Excellent!

A care package from Onur came today. I had to see some color other than black.
