There is a guy in Oakland with a transmission, you best get it asap. I’ll send you a private mail with his phone number. He can crate and ship

Update. Transmission de-gunked. Actually cleaned up pretty well. Engine fired up once the ignition wiring was complete. Then to brakes. Can anyone verify where the front brakes have 2 return springs or 4. I only have 4 - two pairs. One set thinner than the other. I believe each side requires all four. Can anyone confirm? If 4 needed per side, anyone have a set of 4?

Each side of the front has four (4) springs.

It’s alive! The Patrol took her maiden drive around the neighborhood today. Likely a decade or longer since it ran. Long list to make it reliable, safe, and street legal (as much as possible). But, the basics are covered - start, stop, shift, etc.

Is this driver side mount an OEM part? Located on rear quarter panel. Looks like a CB or other antennae mount. Seems to be factory but haven’t seen on other Patrol pics online.

I’m assuming this gas can mount is not OEM? Seems to be where license plate mount goes. About to remove unless it was a factory option.

Alex, That gas can holder looks original, like the two I have. Mine were mounted on the right rear 1/2 door. That said, I plan to reinstall approximately where you are showing yours due to weight.
