geez, shakes head

how much were them pedal pads?

steele is that big ass rubber company that advertises on My Classic Car all the time, nice find

 

[rover67]

I don't remember, I think they were regular ones from SOR or something... Yeah Steele had all the rubber bumpers I was looking for... kick vents, gas door, etc. It just took some searching on their site, but I was stoked since that stuff is NLA from Toyota and it was a shame to use the old crusty stuff.

edit:

Here are similar pads, I bet I got them from Cruiser Corps. Not OEM (Shiver)

Edit Again:

OEM Pads from Cruiser parts, I just ordered a pair. Maybe they are actually OEM pedal pads, maybe not.....

Time to restore the heater hard lines. I'm going to just clean them all up and dinner foam.

Also I need to determine which is the proper t case knob. I think it changed in '82. The one on the left came with the truck.. the one on the right is basically an fj60 knob.

 

[rover67]

Well according to Adam, his also has the knob on the left. Interesting because it's different than all the others available. Chalk it up to another rarity for the '82's I guess....

I modeled up the Speedo Cable clip in case anybody wants one.

I think my '82 60 had the one on the left while the '84 60 had the one on the right.

Whoa, are you kidding me? You remember that??

that settles it, its for sure the one on the left.

Awesome Marco! That first drive when it's finished is going to be sooo sweet.

 

[rover67]

Heater finished and installed! Looks nice and works even better!! Shifter boots getting close. I needed to repaint the tranny shifter boot clamp plate.

All new OEM wiper parts including New OEM wiper motor. That one stung. Also new OEM wiper linkage which also stung. Thanks to Cityracer these were available for purchase. Mine were old and kinda shot..

OEM wiper blades?

 

[rover67]

OEM wiper blades?

ummm yeah....

I actually like the OEM ones over other stuff for all the toyotas.

 

[60wag]

So they updated the OE wiper blades for the 40s from steel frames to plastic ones?

 

[rover67]

They are actually steel.

Maybe I got black where they should have been chrome... I dunno. let me double check.

 

[rover67]

Double checked and according to the diagrams it is a NLA part (8522090800) that has been replaced by a different one (8522090A02).

I got the 8522090A02's.

I'm not sure what the 8522090800's look like.
