Don't mean to pollute this thread (I will delete if OP wants it gone), but just for clarity, the FSM calls for a puller on the steering wheel but I've pulled about 5 or 6 of them on different trucks and only one time I did need to use a puller - wheel would not budge without it. Carry on!

And the saga continues...I have no words to describe these finds. Let's let the pics speak for themselves.

Mismatched carb studs, one of them is not metric!

Note the custom carb linkage bracket! Hahaha

The insulator plate is/ was possibly ruined from before the silicone fiasco.

Geebus! ! is that plumbers putty in the carb barrels?! !!?

@ToyotaMatt will be supplying brand new parts for the reassembly.
There are in fact a bunch of new parts ready to go on this truck as soon as I get my hands on them.

Looks like putty but it was silicone. Don't make it any better anyhow.

Carb on, new linkage installed...she's a runner!
Now on to the vacuum lines.

 

[mongoose2231]

Alright, she's ready to go! Albeit, there are still a couple things needing sorting, she can finally go home. Came on a flat bed, going home under its own power! This baby runs and drives beautifully! Many thanks to the owner for sourcing OEM parts and to @ToyotaMatt for working his magic and making nla parts still available.
