New OEM fuel tank, sender unit, some gaskets, and weatherstripping for the doors came in this weekend. Now if I can get a free day to work on it!
More pics should come in my build thread.

Several years too late in my case... I did the same thing while resurrecting my 69FST. Makes a nice popping sound when the headlight breaks! But on the positive side I replaced the headlights with modern halogens and a relay harness.PSA - when your bib isn’t bolted in, and your futzing around with host placement, keep your headlights away from the tow hooks!

Tease us with a bubble wrapped OEM tank...
Stay tuned! More to follow this weekend hopefully, the temps are rising and run off is starting on the rivers. Warmer weather and no fishing, I guess that means I will get to work on my 40!
Break up is in full swing up here!! Got to start getting gear ready kings in may/ June.

It is almost time to start moving into the smaller waters here, maybe another month or so. Until then it is kind of the best time to get some rig maintenance done. Swapping the fuel tank, finishing up on weatherstripping for the front doors, going through all the fluids, adjusting valves, all the good stuff!
Went with the larger oil filter since there is lots of room. I just want to get my baby back home, fix the electrical, and DRIVE it---it has been in the shop for around 5 weeks now. I bought new hub caps and my Vader light came in the mail so I will install those as well. I also bought the SOR tail gate chain covers---tired of hearing the rattle. Electric winch is arriving today (redundancy for my PTO winch); it will be stored in one of the Tuffy boxes; I also bought a collapseable winch cradle for the rear (which will be stored when not in use). Later. Martin

It was the tray that came with my rig when I bought it. It was not stock but I decided to keep it and make use of it. Funny thing is that it looks like it would be stock given the workmanship and quality of metal used.

Serial rescuer of old vehicles
Repaired the front-center leg on the passenger seat that the original owner rudely hacked off with a torch for some unknown reason, who knows how many years ago. Very solid now, and not too ugly.

Headed down the path of another DIY project, giving Goose some disks! Here is the first set of images as I remove, clean, catalog and set aside the old drum set-up; making way for a FJ60 Disk upgrade.
I’d like to give back to the community who has carved out and shared their failures and successes through these handful of images. Thanks again for all of your legacy information sharing fit, form and function. Patiently I waited and purchased the right parts to follow your path.
Huge thanks to @cruiseroutfit for having a library of parts and knowledge available!
Those that are following my beer feedback, Elysian is a Seattle WA Brewery with a fist full of hops. Check out their link for great tastes in your local area. Also included is a Hop Concept IPA, link This is their dank and sticky, which is a tasty IPA too!
Cheers

Dood, saw the mag in Barnes and Noble a while back and maybe a little jealously thought wow another rich guy "builds" a 40. Then I read your build thread, holy cow man, what an inspiration!, your exhaustive research and ability to bring so many disparate elements together so seamlessly is awesome. Another fine example of the immense talent on this site. Also impressive is how clean your garage is, do you have a separate facility for the dirty work
Nice work! Cheers, matt
Took the top off. Trying to enjoy spring before summer jumps on me hard here in Mississippi
