Very nice! Source?
I pulled all the wheels/brake hubs and cleaned and inspected brakes. Took it for a drive and noticed front output shaft from transfer case is leaking. Ordered new seal, received the wrong size. Pulled existing seal and ordered second seal as per seal #'s.
Drained all of the gear oil that the previous owner had put in the steering knuckle and added h/d gun grease. put a little fiber glass and bondo on the back corners." until I get enough $$ to buy welder, torch, and replacement panels.

Are you sure it hasn't leaked in there from your front diff?
(How do you know your PO poured it in?)
seats
Got these out of a shop in Florida on ebay, shipping was more than the seats but still cheaper than even cheap new vinyl seats

They look factory. Any part number or other identification on them?
Hey lostmarbles, Im sure because when I bought it he told me to make sure and keep them filled to the top because it weeps out the wipers. lol The front differential had the steel drain plug protector bent against the plug, so it hadnt been drained in a long time I removed the fill plug and a lot of very dark stinky 80/90 came dripping out. Then I removed the drain plug and the rest came dripping out. Over 1 gallon was drained. I flushed it with new diff oil and then filled it only to the fill plug level. I know I need to tear down the knuckels and repack. Quick fix was to remove inside wipers and pump grease in as it pushed the oil out. when grease appeared I called it good until I get rebuild kit.

That is probably too much grease!!! They are only supposed to be 3/4 full in the knuckles not so full grease squeezes out. You risk serious damage doing that.
Your 1st order of business should be to tear those knuckles down and rebuild them properly.

They are out of a 2009 Ford Fusion

upgraded the arb
The older arb pump started acting up so I replaced the pump, harness, fittings, selonoids, and switches with the latest and greatest. Inside I needed to make a new mounting plate out of aluminum because the switch holes were too wide from the old style switches, covered in material and screwed into place.
I already replaced the front and rear in-pumpkin seals last year with new o-rings so the system is good to go.
While in there, we removed an unused console knob (it is the fan speed knob from the Trans Am it came out of but unneeded because the real AC fan switch is on the underdash unit itself) and installed a new Toyota power port so I have not only a second source of power but I the charge cord is more out of the way vs hanging from the top of the dash.

We went snow wheelin'
Used it to drag our airstream to safety. Wolf creek was well over its banks and the lower part of our property will likely be totally flooded tomorrow morning. Its been pouring all day and still going strong... glad we pulled it up.

Well, the donor 2F is in. Slowly hooking stuff up...starting to look like a 40 again.
Added door window defrosters.
Tried to figure out why my engine is making a terrendous noise, thinking another engine pull is in the near future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jmouc8fyhU
Installed a long over due new fuel pump on the 78 2f. I got it from Village Toyota for a lot less than the other after market vendors. This is the fuel pump that many said isn't available any more. They were great to deal with and shipped fast. Now the yota runs a lot better with more than 1/2 pound of fuel pressure. LMAO
water pump ?

Celebrating 
that this month 36 years ago my Cruiser set wheels ashore in Costa Rica. 
Altough.... rumor has it that, around that time, there was a assembly plant for Latin America here in the town of Pavas.
