What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (19 Viewers)

[69LC]

I built a new throttle linkage to better address the linkage geometry with my SBC. I'll post up pics when it's mounted and dailed in. The old Ford truck cable failed miserably and needed replacing as soon as I rednecked it in place in the first place.

When you flip it, the clutch slave, your return spring should line up a lot better

Undoubtedly! Plus if I'm really lucky it might solve my throw-out bearing woes, but not getting my hopes up.

Hooked up dash knobs.
Got lights working.
Oh yea, swapped my clutch disc around since I installed backwards. This will be the one and only time I make this mistake.
Misc getting parts on 40 instead of scattered everywhere.
Been a lot less stressful working on truck without the 1million calls wondering when I'm coming home.
Hopefully my wife won't read this, or at least the last part.

New flywheel
New clutch disc
New T/O bearing
New pilot bearing
New parking brake cable
New transmission fluid
New transfer case fluid

Hung the heater on the firewall
Installed the blower motor
Adjusted the bends on the twin sticks to clear the heater
I need to adjust the cutout periphery for the transmission hump cover. Twin sticks are very close to the cutout limits at both extremes.





It's only taken me three years to get the heater to a point where I am close to having it operable!!!

Bought some Brake parts for the 40:
Rebuilt Calipers $43x2
Brake Pads $25
77 Blazer Rotors $40x2
77 Blazer Pads $28

Taxes in $238

Expression on the Part Girls face when I told them it was for one vehicle $Priceless

1/2 the cost (or less) than they would've been here at NAPA in Canada... Why? Just over the border in USA.

What are you using for wiper motors? my factory one still works great but I would like a viable replacement option when it eventually fails.

Is that a 80 series Master Cylinder?

Yes it is. Its the one from Marlin Crawler. Its mounted on to a 1980 Mini truck booster. Using V6 calipers up front and Monte Carlo rears. Hope it works!
