Thought it's about time I shared my new toy. 78 351 dedicated gas still registered as a class 1 tow truck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve not put my shifter in yet I’ve been too busy doing other stuff to it I have to have my seat forward coz I’m unable to flex my ankles So we chopped the seat for a little more room when the shifter eventually gets fitted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My custom bench seat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll have to take another I deleted the one I had Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been a longgg time since I’ve been on here! For the most part it’s been a running truck for the past 2 years Still working on it heaps though! I’ve literally done stuff to every bit of the truck with the exception of paint. There’s a pic of it now with my custom/cripple friendly ramp and a pic of a war torn XF on the back!

That's exactly why I bought it mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best part is, it ain't just a tow truck, it's also a flat top - anything that fits, I'll move Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well aware. Asshole thing and quickest way to kill an AOD if not right

Throttle Valve cable? If it's not set right it won't shift out of first Mines roughly set til I can afford the kit from lokar

No. The steering box is out of ye ol Datsun 260c - only one tab needs to be added to fit it to an f truck The pitman arm is a mutant with Datsun spline on one end and a taper on the other to fit the f truck drag link It's the only way to make pre 80's effies power steering

The AOD Toploader out AOD in - had to get my tailshaft shortened by approx 200mm I can't remember now Shifter in and 'air con' sitting in place Trans cooler squashed in behind the grille Old vs new pitman arm. Old one was a falcon one that'd been resplined and sleeved to fit the 260c steering box and f truck drag link The new (larger) one is what my truck should have had when power steering was fitted It's marginally longer and built specifically for this era of effy downside is, $350 !!!

Ok so huge advances have been made - let's hope my app will allow me to upload Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm glad I went with the AOD after seeing how it goes as a manual it'll need the extra gear over a regular 3 speed C6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drove the old girl for the first time today Rear lights - just for fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so after a hard and stressful days work yesterday the truck now has Pulleys Belts Thermo's back on Power steering pump Power steering box in - 1 bracket needs repair but that can wait Lines hooked up and steering system topped up Brake line bracket refitted Column coupling done Pitman arm done and front tyre back on So the truck now steers! I'll be fitting the rent-a-tailshaft this arvo and I (should) be able to go for a drive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Temp guage sorted today along with original pulleys to suit power steer. Have to finish fitting the steering box tomorrow and weld a bracket it up. It MIGHT drive tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah the box alone on eBay is 2,450 I got my whole setup back for $1,000 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oil pressure gauge fitted after finding an old oil line leaking under the dash Throttle bracket I made out of a crossflow one Fitted I bought my power steering back too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
