Just heard back from Scott his patrol was #7893 so it was an early model 1967 as well. He was parting out a lost mileage running truck to build a crawler I think his name was sjsharpe on here I think if you wish to add the number to the registry. the original engine was sold out of it as well as most of the parts. I reached out to him to see if his truck was an early model or late model 1967 as it seems that somewhere in 1967 they started using a voltage regulator on the gas and water temp gauges. River had a 1967 Patrol #10550 that used a regulator and was pretty sure it had push on spade connectors like the red 1968 gauge cluster I have. Paul told me his 1967 Patrol #07904 did not have a regulator for the gauges. This makes me feel better about connecting my gauges up to my non voltage regulated wiring harness.
I bought the carb, breather, starter, water pump, radiator, rear view mirror, ignition switch and gas cap, seat latches, headlight switch in 2017. Then later in 2019 after he sold the truck he was clearing out some storage and I bought the gauge cluster, steering wheel, another seat latches, pair of outside door handles, rear door latch matched to the ignition switch I bought in 2017, both wiper motors and arms, inspection dash lamp, rear bumper hook and wiring harness (that later turned out to be for a datsun roadster, but I sold it for more that I bought it for). I bought about $1800 in parts from him over that 2 year period and picked up some very nice pieces... I wish he had more stuff to sell!
) and the work to fix it up looks great.
