It looks like yours is missing so you may as well send me the rubber pad and the hunt continues.

Nice try friend!

Neither of my ‘65s have that long generator.

Thanks, and good to know I can eliminate that from my parts wanted list!

@crustycruise - I'm glad the "ashtray" lives on and thank you for helping me obtain a few crucial parts from @landcruiserjunky.

Keep the pictures coming from the build!

Can someone please confirm timing cover should be black? Mine was blue when I bought the LV. Shop looked it over and thought paint on timing cover was factory. Given other engine tin color changes made prior to me - red oil pan, valve and side covers - I assumed it was just repainted. Also possible timing cover was changed out at some point. Any insight appreciated.

Took a few more pics of the finished floors while at the shop yesterday.

And a few more of the tailgate hinge box.

You may as well start your hunt for period correct tools and tool pouch I can see that’s the direction this is going.

Too funny Tancruiser! I'll admit the thought has crossed my mind. But I think tools will be something I do AFTER we're back on the road. That helps in two ways. First, cash not spent on tools can go into the build. Second, it will give me something to "hunt" after the build - if I stop treasure hunting completely I may have withdrawals!

Happy to report all evidence of luan headliner screwed to wood slats is gone!

I put some dynamat in my roof before putting the head liner in to cutdow noise and heat

The past few posts bring us up to date with the present state of the build. The shop is pulling together all the photos taken and I should have them soon. If there's something you're interested in that I may have missed please let me know and I'll look for photos to show what was done.

My focus so far has been metal, so you might reasonably wonder what else is in the works? Engine block is set to be bored this week, head is ready to go and all bearings, pistons, rods purchased and ready for re-assembly.

 

[crustycruise]

The transfer case and tranny seals and bearings have been purchased and I'll drop off for rebuild as soon as I finish plating the last of the hardware.

Nah, saving that cash for my last major puzzle piece - a big window carb.

I did that in my VW bus, side walls too, and it made a huge difference. Can't see why I wouldn't with the LV.

 

[Tancruiser]

Try treeroot at Rising Sun 4x4 club in Denver he might have a carb.

Not to add to your unobtanium list, but do you have the bows that hold the headliner up in between the roof supports? And there is a 1/8" rod that goes in he tabs on the back side of the roof supports as well.
