I think a better name would be "The Vomit Comet" 
I'm thinking that OSB sunroof isn't gonna last, it will delaminate and fall apart the first time it gets wet.

Oh, it's getting wheeled...
As far as the sunroof is concerned, at about $2 a pop, I can afford to go through a few... Hehe I'm excited that it's driving again!

i wouldnt be surprised if the reverse idler gear was jacked.
do you remember hearing mine?

I'll sell you all the parts you need for the W56 to fix the Reverse. They will be wrapped inside an entire transmission, you'll have to remove them as needed.

Looks like you've got some kind of lift springs on there all ready! Nice score!
I still have under $500 in my '80 longbed. It needed plugs and wires and some tweaking. The heater still doesnt' blow yet but I've been to busy to tear into the dash. I ended up welding the rear and got a free locker from a buddy for the front end. If you shop and be patient you can keep it cheap but capable. I'm going for the old man look to keep it a sleeper. Now if I can just find some free 31" tires.
Wheel On!

Yes, it is lifted already, It has a broken spring in the rear, that I'll need to deal with at some point... I'm still under $500 but not by much at this point.

The reverse gear and reverse idler gear appear to be the same for the G52-W56 transmissions. So says the toyodiy.com part number site....
Edit: The gears are not the same!!!!!! Wristy was right...
Here's a little tease:

Well, I'm running out of things to fix finally. I had to weld on a couple new teeth for the drivers side window. And I need to figure out why my temp gauge isn't working.
Here's a few pics of it stretching it's legs yesterday.

And to think, I've tossed out a few sets of manual cranks when making half doors....

You throw that stuff away!!!! Blasphemer!!!
The funny part is fixing the gears lead me to realize that the window rubbers are in rough shape, and the window still won't close properly cause they are too hard...

Those 16's look good. Was the backspacing OK?
I was in Y today but didn't have your # on me, didn't know if you were workin' or not.
It just screams teenage mutant ninja turtle.. Ninja Combat Vehicle logo on the side with a throwing star emblem and you could wear a really bright red sweatband/bandana... Yeah BABY!

I never even checked the backspacing, but they fit fine. I should wear a headband when I drive it though...
I wasn't in Y-town today, so no near miss... Hehehe
Does anyone have some yellow and red paint????

In all its dualcasieness:
Note the center shifter is a slightly modified forward shifting T-case shifter mount. I drilled out 2 of the holes and did some grinding on the end of the shifter to make it work.
A bit nasty inside the bellhousing...
OK, so the bad news is the reverse gears are not the same between the G52 and W56.... So I gave a whirl at welding them up... Yes I know the gears are hardened etc. We'll just have to see how it goes.

Jerod, you just went up a notch or two in my book. Truly awesome rock-billy patch!
Nice fix! Can't get any worse than it was right? I want duals in my '80 so bad...
Thats and interesting idea, pure brilliance! I wouldnt put much torque on it, it cant be worse than it was before (unless you sheer the new 'teeth' off and ruin the rest of it...)
