In that pic there are fuel supply and return bulkheads as well as a 4 gauge and 0/1 gauge electrical bulkheads.

Pretty amazing how well the bread trick works to get the input shaft bearing out of the back of the crankshaft. One bolt, electrical tape, a hotdog bun and hammer. Thanks to the experts for posting this in the 40 Forum! Now just have to get the new one in. I hear freezing the bearing and heating the race area help with insertion. It's going to be 100 in Houston this weekend so I have plenty of heating.

Chasing down small things. Wiper linkage investigation revealed an important metal component missing on my truck. My windshield frame assembly was missing this part so fabricated one and attached it with the OG JB Weld. (I do not like using this stuff but if there was ever an application for it this was it).
Then installed jack handle extension brackets.

I had envied those new 2F alternator tensioners I've seen lately. Was hesitant to buy one as i do not have a Toyota alternator. It's a Herr. When i swapped in the 2F block, i did not have the upper bracket or tensioner. So i made my old late F alt bracket fit.
Just pounded it between two rocks until it sorta fit. Then used a crowbar to adjust the tension.
Then i heard, after i asked, that i could get a good used one locally. So i did. (Thanks @pardion)
Simplicity itself to install, had to fiddle with bolts & washers & stuff. Probably should grind down the mount a little to make it perfect.

Not good to run the belt at that angle... will wear out prematurely
Did a few things on my cruiser in the last week. However I noticed a 40, 60, and a rover at the hotel I’m staying at in Charlotte,NC.
No, certainly not ideal. A compromise i made to keep the power steering from throwing belts
I’m puzzled how belt alignment like that helps keep the power steering from throwing belts. Why can’t they all be aligned at the same time.
Perhaps Toyota-san did not envision Saginaw pumps on his early 2F block, i dunno.
I tried various iterations, with spacer, without, different belts & different pulleys, shimming funny.
I am not a guru. We all know that.
One run i tossed and or shredded 3 power steering belts.
This is the best i can do without professional help or starting a thread about it
Start a thread. There has to be a way around that problem.
Grab some spacers to space the Alt back and then make a bracket to anchor at the head where the ground is. You’ll need to have the ear extended for the tensioner.
I’m no expert either… I’d consider running a press on double pulley on the Saginaw pump. Or perhaps just a single press on pulley. The benefit of the press on ones is that they can be pressed on deeper or pulled back to align better. I bought a rebuilt core of a Saginaw pump for $46 CDN in store, so they are cheap enough. Mine was for a 3/4 ton Chevy pickup and has excellent pressure. Palm steering while stationary on dry pavement with 33x10.50s.
Fast forward to the year 2022 and they are still sitting there.
Just so happens I will be checking to see next week.
Someone needs to save them?
I drove by about an hour ago!
Many of them have better bodies than mine… such a shame to see them just Rusting In Pieces.
Kinda hard to look at…
Pardon the momentary highjack. Is it just a bone yard Ryan? Selling off parts or just yard art?
