So sadly Toyota got "PC". I see the gas pedal thing as a hoax to try and discredit Toyota. Can't keep a quality product down. Lawyers destroying our country more every day......................... Thanks for your input Dan. Interesting.

If you mean Paranoid/Conservative, yes.

Toyota went PC in a lot of ways

Pre2010 Risaburo and Kiichiro interpretation of core principle #5 used to read:

Always have respect for God and remember to be grateful at all times



A rework around 2012 changed it to:

Always have respect for spiritual matters, and remember to be grateful at all times.



I had just seen a new one recently that read something like:

Always be reverent and show gratitude for things great and small in thought and deed

Where did you get the grommets?

My local Toyota dealer. Call the parts counter, tell them you have a Toyota part number, and read them the ten digit number.

@Racer65 - any thoughts on the small pieces in post 1587?

Alrighty......as it does turn out I have NOS Bi Fold door Weatherstripping for the early 40's, If Roger is interested in reproducing it, it will head to him.

I have 2 part # (but 2 of one)

62744 60010 W/S Back window guide, requires 2 part W in diagram
68829 60010 W/S rear upper hatch, requires 4 part P in diagram





compared to the whats left of the original W/S left on my 65, it is the same.

Is it possible that the locking tab behind the crank pulley claw nut for 3.9 engines is still available? No one seems to sell them but it seems crazy to do without it.

No, but I believe Mark @65swb45 makes repros:

Part # 13495-60010, or 030-03 on Marks's website.

Thanks for the bump on that old pic Roger. Yes, I have plenty of locktabs in stock. I also wholesale them to a few other vendors, in case you have a hard time coming up with a hundred bux worth of stuff for your truck to support me directly.

Up until the gas pedal debacle of 2010 it was often possible to get non-US parts shipped as long as they were physically in a warehouse on US soil. It was also possible to get non-US parts loaded into the system and place off-line orders for them.

After 2010 our litigious society caused Toyota to re-think it's exposure to ambulance chasers and all that cool stuff got shut off.

It is still possible to get non U.S. items for a legally imported truck. Toyota will ship them to you with copy of registration in your name. I have done that several times in the past. It just takes a phone call and a fax after they say no.
