Awesome, thanks for the details!
Fabbed up the passenger floorboard piece from the 2x5 16 gauge cold rolled steel. Tried a new weld through primer I read about. Seems pretty good. No smoke and dries fast with good conductivity. Then cut out the end of the rear bed that was rotted and cut a new piece from the same sheet of steel. Prepped and ready for possibly tomorrow.

Build: 1973 FJ40 Major Payne
All right. Here we go again. Finally digging into this 73’ I picked up a year ago. Calling it “Major Payne”. Plan is to do the panel work which I’m pleased to see isn’t that bad. Rear sill and quarter patches, drivers and passengers pans, and if I feel like it I’ll do the outside of the door...

This site never ceases to amaze me with regards to the wealth of shared knowledge. I found a JDM BJ41 on an auction/equipment site and was sold on making a bid. After a short period of research here on mud I was able to conclude the JDM 40's were a bit of an oddity and had an even more rare 2b engine, seems like finding parts is a bit of a problem as well. Making a blind bid on a BJ41 that hasn't ran in years doesn't seem like a good plan and certainly drops the value in my eyes....I still may bid on it but at least I know what I could get into.
That’s where I am at with a truck on BAT right now.

In my experiences…some middle eastern imports have had some extremely hard use with minimal maintenance and require some much deeper extensive work well beyond the cosmetics. There are quite a few on BAT recently. They all look pretty. But, like some old girlfriends …. I’m glad I never married them.
Again, MY experiences

As a freelance gynecologist I can agree some aren’t the marrying type.
Trying and almost succeeded patching a leaky windshield washer reservoir. I tried a couple different kinds of sealer and so far nothing sticks to the plastic very well except Shoe Goo.
I used JB Weld for plastic on the cooling reservoir and it’s been holding for years

Never a bad idea.
Yes, saw your post, looked that thing up, watched some vids and went for it. I don't have a shop or garage atm, so this is convenient. Not sure how long the 'coils' will last, the one I did use on this job kinda melted the insulation a bit. THAT is where they will get their $, selling all the replacement coils. lol. I'm not dreading the body mounts and fender repairs as much now.
Free bucket!

And bleach….not shown in that photo is the bait and tackle store next to the Waffle House. Looks like they might have been mopping the floors. My son works there which was most of the reason for my visit. As an excuse to take a Sunday morning drive I offered to take him breakfast.
Excellent! I was looking for a suitable replacement for the NLA one!
I have a general question though. I assume these were installed from the underside in case you needed to drain the tank. Mine was missing when I got it so I’m guessing here. Anyone know?
Not much update since the last photo dump, I just wanted to get my 1975 on page 1975 of this thread lol.
ready to tack in the wheel well covers, have to fab up the driver's side rocker panel.
I also have to extend the tub where it meets the fender.
I searched the internet and can't find a photo of what this section looks like (It's usually behind the step)
Does it angle down and then go vertical where the fender is vertical? Can someone post a photo maybe with some measurements for reference please?

I like the contrasting colors; I have the same wall hanging, in yellow.

It's all that left of my first cruiser, a 69.
The early 40s were black on the firewall and under the hood.
