I have!Have you tried printing the vader light housings? I know myself and a lot of folks would be interested in that!
Thanks. I went with the information provided in post #12 here by @Economist LC76. If it’s wrong, it’s an easy fix to move it. Upon closer inspection of the image, the drawing had it on outside and image inside.Nice looking 40. I'm pretty sure the license plate bracket on a 76 goes on the passenger side.

Just back from the Registry of Motor Vehicles to finally register my truck. Installed front license plate bracket OEM#75101-60011, still available from Toyota. My experience was different than Dizzy’s. The experience in my very blue state was similar to going through customs in China or Russia. Now off to get inspection sticker.

My truck is 4/76 so fingers crossed I installed in correct position as there were no holes on bumper.

Thanks for sending along. What a great read! Will start at the beginning post but did read the Inspection section. I’ll be bringing a case of expensive Old Milwaukee and Red Dog tall boys on Saturday just before my inspection station closes...just in case.This is a great read, which has a short section about getting thru the bureaucratic hoops of getting on the road.

New glass, installed the front bumper, and started mouthing switches. Switch Plate will be spun aluminum once finished.

Looks like you need a nice set of matching knobs...![]()
Autosol will work wonders on aluminum. A bit of elbow grease and/or a cotton buffing wheel in a die grinder could have you could see your pearly whites in no time.Started removing my EGR today (leaking). Decided to give the valve cover a much needed cleanup. Could use a bit more, but I ran out of time and elbow grease...

Made a skid plate template that will account for the nv4500, LC transfer case, and the AA bits that will also cover the exhaust tubing that hangs a bit below the frame. Now I just have to do some cutting and welding and I should be protected fairly well.View attachment 2337736
Lol - pretty sure I just have to paint it with a zinc based primer first... wish me luck!You can weld cardboard?
