Got it running and took the kids for a ride. Tore the ps steering arm off. Get to do a rebuild and six stud arms a little sooner than I thought.

New tierods, shock absorbers and most of the gremlins in the carb are gone ( thanks James! )

Hopefully going to take the front bib apart and clean up the engine compartment this weekend :D
 
I washed it for the first time in 12 years!
Bolted on the front plate - and trouble shot the left turn signal (not flashing)
 
I got my FJ60 power steering and F-250 shock towers done (well, last week)!
 
Re-covered the front seats

Actually, it was last week. Added some extra 1" foam to the lumbar area of the seat backs and to the bottom pads. Wire-brushed all the metal and repainted everything and finally got the drivers seat to move on the tracks. Worst part of the job was getting hog rings up into the seat backs and seat base for the pull down loops...I pity the guy who has to do this for a living...his hands must look like hamburger. Turned out pretty good for a total amateur at upholstry...my butt even thinks the truck rides better now.

Today, got the front ARB airlocker installed....Longfields went in at the same time.
Got 2 new stickers to find room for.
Plus, got a really complete, professional, hub rebuild...that I was not expecting, from Sean at River City Differentials (Rancho Cordova). Completely biased acclamation. That guy is a wheeler, knows his stuff and will not let anything half-assed leave his shop, even if it's just cleaning up after a dip**** customer...and without embarrassing him too much.
 
pulled my motor, tc and POs wiring mess

Finished fabbing exhaust for the 73, disassembled the hardtop and blasted and primed a few misc interior brackets.
 
Finished fabbing, painting, and installing the shifters for my new drivetrain. Went with the 3 stick setup a la boots' build.

Torched, PB Blastered, and cranked a ratchet for 3 days to get my roll bar off to clean and paint it.
 
Sad Day!!!!!

This week I put my cruzer up on jack stands, filled the tank and added fuel stabilizer, and set it up for a one year storage in my fathers barn. Oh well at least it will be safe, dry, and started every couple of weeks until i can reclaim it
:frown:
