Since I am doing the Cummins motor My big concerns are figuring out how things like the A/C and heat work, and how all the little parts and pieces fit together, ie. door panels, dash, headliner etc.... Plus with Landcruisers it seemed to be easy to find parts, especially since Toyota still had most of the parts available from the dealer, so finding good parts suppliers and good replacement parts will be a task, but that was one of the reasons for the build thread, to pull on the experience of other Chevy guys. Well, even with my home remodel I am still looking for my Allison 6 speed, so as soon as I find it I will start moving forward on the build. Pictures comming soon.
