I remember seeing a coupke if guys posting a source for carpets for a 75-78 but i cant remember when it was or it will fit correctly in a 72-74

 

Sorry the gauges didn't fix the issue, at least now you have some extra bulb sockets and a parts cluster

 

It was worth a try and it helped to point me in the right direction. Now hopefully the Thai sending unit works correctly.

I have to say tho, the circuit board on your cluster was much cleaner than mine

 

Maybe look on Summit Racing and see if a universal sender will work?

 

The Thai repop is on its way already. I completely forgot to look on summit

 

Oooh, nice seats. Wish the PO didn't swap out mine for a bench seat

 

Thanks bro. I pulled them at the junkyard years ago. The PO had put a bench seat in mine too but it was some weird middle seat out of like a wagon or something. Ripped that shit out soon as i could

 

My bench is out of a 78 Hilux the PO had as a parts truck. Unfortunately the bench is welded into position, so it doesn't slide (not that I need it to, but still) He also chopped the center console to fit with the bench in there I like the look of the bucket seats without the head rests, the upholstery job on yours looks great too.

 

Yea i didnt really care for the high back buckets that were offered in these trucks.

Dude ive been looking for one of those consoles and your PO chopped one up!

 

In the last year I've seen at least 5+ of those consoles for sale between CL part outs and eBay, they're around.

 

The 2 times i saw one it was either broken or overpriced. The search continues

 

So yesterday the Thai fuel sending unit arrived. Like @fred.d.k mentioned in his build thread, it had to be tweaked. I couldnt get a non fluctuating reading til i messed with it. Got it within spec and dropped the tank.

Im going to test it with the gauge before i even install it. Il post up my findings later today

 

Well i couldnt get the gauge to read any change made from the sending unit. Going to have to mess with it again tomorrow

 

Not much progress since my last post. I got some "black housing" headlights for the high beams and they turned out to be just tinted. Either way i liked the look and i got the grill zip tied on just to see how it would look and i dig it. I also blacked out the chrome on the projectors. Once i figure out what the deal is with my photobucket account il post pics.

Also picked up a welder so im practicing with that, looking to redo the trans crossmember along with a few other things.

Follow me on instagram for pics

I do like those rims on there!

 

where you going to mount that stereo ? looks good like the high beams , i want to put 4 yellow one on the front of mine, isnt that a 75 grill ?

 

Thanks bro, i really wish they were 15s but for the price i paid im happy with them

the stereo will be mounted right in front of the shifter on the trans tunnel. And yea its a '75+ grille, i also have the '75+ valance on there too.

 

so no heater box ? if not what did you do with it im looking for somr peices

 

Heater is still in place and fully functional. The W58 shifter sits a couple of inches further back than the stock one did so i have a bit more space
