Now you need some time with a brush and a can of black paint to outline the word "Toyota".
You can see how I did it on our '55 here https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-...potm-cruiser-guy-guatemala-8.html#post4271409

Yeah- I need some of those.
This is the photo set from the guy who owned it before I did. Did you know the Aussie owner of my pig? (or were you him?!)

finished installing on the 74 a 3.73 front and rear axles out of a 79 piggy; y'all might remember "piggup" the donor 79.........also put in a fairey overdrive with a 4 speed and transfer case out of an 87 and LONG RANGE!! gas tank that I just filled up with 57.582 Gal 
and it already had a few gal in it
the tank was new and bought from another member who bought it many years ago but never installed it; no idea where it came from; does any one have any info on this biggy?....biggest one I knew about was a 49 gal;.....OH am needing a knob for the Fairey along with a "boot", TIA

Doc,
no im not the PO, I would still own it! Its nice. It does look familiar, not the Tailgate though.
Im sure I seen it when was for sale here locally, it was in a yard near where I work. That would be close to 6-7 years ago though. The one I remember had those 60 series wheels, bucket seats and was a >75 model (non full floater rear). Tailgate was standard. Maybe the same one?
What ever you do, I hope you keep the colour, its soo australian!

Polishing up the piggy! It needs to look good for "Cruise Moab".

New tires?
I'm picking them up on the way. They'll be on '60 series rims though.

Cruise Moab the shake down run for Relic Run 2010?
My "Shake Down Run" was in March 2007. Canada to Guatemala City, Guatemala! I figure if my 34 year old piggy can make it to Central America and back is can certainly do Moab or 150 miles in the Utah Unita Mountains on the Relic Run, but yes, I am planning on the Relic Run too and I'll probably polish it up for that too.
More rust repair and body work. tore out the headliner and installed a new cargo glass.
Took some pics of it, and ordered parts from SOR.
Got it back from the transmission repair shop. No more noisy transfer case. Really glad I picked up a used transfer on CL last year and glad the shop would swap it in.
