Used it to take on of my favorite people out for ice cream.
We won't talk about how she used my license plate wiring as a grab handle and ripped it in half

She's a doll!!

An easy fix and now you know you need a grab handle back there.

Aerospace 303 is one of those "best kept secrets" - ask any marine/boat or aircraft person , they swear by it . I love the stuff , use it on tonneau covers , trim plastic/mirrors , tires and interior - basically anything that the sun and atmosphere can destroy over time . Never had an issue with build up , running or making dust/dirt stick to surfaces either . Just leaves everything nice and black , low-luster and dirt resistant . Nothing works better on weatherstripping with the exception of Syl-Glide but that stuff will attract dust/dirt - prefer 303 .
They have released a whole new line of interior products and other stuff as well - JC Whitney carries most of it in stock .

Finished seam sealing the interior/exterior extensively, received my new turn signal switch assembly and got part 1 of my bill from the engine builder. Needless to say, it would have been cheaper to put in an LS v8 than build a balanced 3.9 F.

Finally found the time to put the new cooling system back in the 71.
Used all Toyota parts except for the GMB water pump (made in Japan). Toyota water pump NLA for my year.
In all changed out the following; radiator, radiator hoses, thermostat & housing, heater hose, water pump, fuel filter, soft fuel lines, new overflow bottle (aftermarket but looks OEMish if they were to have had overflow bottles back then), heater hose, new clamps, radiator union pipe for heater, battery tray and hold down, brake and clutch masters, and brake booster (made a huge improvement in braking).

I feel your pain Martyn71fj40.

I had my f motor built/balanced and although I'm glad I did it I have caught myself thinking the same about a GM swap. Mine runs like a champ now though and it is nice knowing mine is still 100% original and Toyota powered.

400 odd horsepower would have been nice.

Flipped my bezel, it didn't come willingly.

Could be something to do with the bowtie...

That's a pretty color!

Replaced the +30-year old plastic & rubber parts on my H55F shifter. Admittedly, the old pieces still looking pretty good!

Drool. What an awesome truck.
