Tightened up the bolts to my muffler/exhaust manifold connection and now no longer have exhaust leaking into the cab.
Also got my onboard ARB air compressor working. Turns out it was one of the mystery switches on the dash board I have been afraid to touch for the last 2 years

Bought a new truck this week, my first 40. 1978. Next morning after buying I check the oil, full of gas. Dumped it, changed the oil and filter and ran it briefly to coat the engine 
everthing is ok. It has a weber carb and a fuel pressure regulator. I think I'd like to restore to factory carb and replace the fuel pump,lines, filter etc. Is it worth it to spend the extra money on an OEM carb vs CityRacer or rebuilt? Any other thoughts are welcome. Cheers!

Putting transfer case back together in preparation for H42 upgrade. Cleaned up then painted a bunch of parts and had a few things yellow zinc plated along with all the OEM Toyota bolts. Then went for a drive.

Usual source for gas in the oil is the mechanical fuel pump. Diluted oil we quickly destroy engine bearings. You made a good decision checking the oil first thing.

Thank you. I checked it before I bought and didn’t see any. Maybe the drive home filled it up. Fingers crossed it didn’t damage the bearings. It’s parked with fresh oil until the pump and carb get replaced.
Good day on the lake....... Only thing the 40 did was move outa her spot in the garage so I could load the boards! 
made some tool for metal fabrication...

It's really inspiring to see the hand-made love that you guys put into these machines, keeps the standards high. Nice work, thanks for sharing.
I went to the emergency room the night I enlarged my bumper holes for the ARB bumper. 6 stitches in my knuckles. This was before I knew about step drills.
Do you or anyone know if ER have some membership discount ? My CVS rally happy to see me twice a month ..for some AID...
Also, go slower RPM with bigger drill diameters. In shop, it is Surface Feet per Minute:
If you exceed the cutter's speed limit, there will be more wear on the cutter/drill, which will cause you to apply more pressure, and get diminishing returns for the effort. I was trained in a machine shop where we were forced to hand-sharpen drills, despite the presence of a drill-sharpener.
Step drills are awesome for hand-drill-motors.
Too bad hand-drill-motors weren't specifically adjustable for rpm, but, they make dollars out of Christmas, anyway.

Real nasty working conditions you have to put up with...
Depends if you count keeping the mortgage paid as part of the conditions.

It's where I work, and space is at a premium. I have to keep things tidy and picked up, all while not damaging product in the process. It's way better than working under a tree.
If it were a toybox though, that would be pretty dang phenomenal. I'm probably going to have to store the land cruiser there this winter, and I haven't come up with a good solution for that yet
