Ok, its been busy,..... Lots of stuff going on...changed jobs......etc...life....etc... got some stuff done...
Engine is all cleaned up and de-greased, resealed, etc. I carried my 65FJ40 home on Friday (Stopped by to see Poser on teh way home)... its good to have along side the 45 while putting stuff back in. I leave Sunday for 2 weeks.....Im trying to get as much done as i can..... Tonight LAME stopped by and completed the last break fitting... then we had a beer and discussed oil filter placement. The new booster and dual master may give us some trouble....LAME came up with a nice solution..... more on that later....

I followed your build thread. Great looking rig. Ive told the DA that we are going to go with MT's. The yellow truck has ATs as does my 80.... cant have 3 Cruisers with ATs....i think there is some sort of law against that....

Clutch and associated linkage went into place this week. The clutch is officially "clutch-ing". And the good news is im quickly running out of large parts...
Last night the gear box for the PTO went back together without to much trouble. Need to order some hardware for it and it should be good to go. I will slap the gearbox back on tonight. I need a shift lever for the gear box. If you know of one please let me know.
I still need a carb. if anyone has one they can part with I would appreciate it. the one i have is off a J**P and im pretty certain i dont want that thing back on Roy....
