Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I've tweaked or upgraded things over my 6 years of ownership to improve on little nuances over the way the truck was built 30 years ago. Things like installing a limited slip differential, header, better camshaft, larger clutch from a Turbo truck, bigger brakes from a T100 on the front and a FJ60 land cruiser on the rear, a pillar gauges to monitor coolant temp and oil pressure in actually numeric values instead of a generic scale on the dash with no associated numbers. Little stuff really. I love these trucks for their simplicity, ease of maintenance and rugged dependability. While all my coworkers are driving newer cars, having more issues, making car payments and paying for astronomical repairs when something does go wrong I'm here enjoying no car payment and easy do it yourself maintenance. I actually have a brand new engine that I built for this truck before I left the machine shop I was working in, but this original engine runs so well I can't bring myself to change it. My current goal is to reach 400,000 miles on the original engine. If it 400,000 miles it's still running well then I will strive for 500,000.
