Your correct heater parts are headed your way. Glad Coyote’s contributing to such a pristine pig! Didn’t realize My old 73’s build date was in such a narrow window for certain parts.

Bill was a super helpful member that took the time to dig into his stash of parts and share some parts that otherwise I would be still on the hunt for.
Apparently 4/73-9/73 and not including 9/73 the blower and switches are completely by themself. The blower motor must use a different amperage and resistor or something because only 5months of production uses this motor. The housing is most likely the same.

Anyone with a super clean boot that joins the blower to the side of the fender well and the metal “leaf screen” willing to sell let me know. I could also use a set of flexible hoses but believe they are available from SOR.

Similar search for that boot when I was putting mine back together. Finally measured length and diameter and went to a tire store that specialized in commercial sales. Found a cooperative employee who pulled new tubes out until we found the appropriate diameter. Bought it, went home and cut the necessary length and clamped it on using the original clamps. Still there 10 years later. Might still have the rest of that tube around. If I find it, I'll post the size.

After being told this bracket doesn’t exist by the owner of the largest LandCrusier shop I found one so simply and put it back into service with a glass fuel bowl filter and and fuel pump both supplied by @ToyotaMatt.
