Hahaha wow! Got a funny autozone story....
I recently replaced both rear seals inner/out, bearings etc because on my bearings went out, took out the seal and got gear oil everywhere. I got everything from lceperformance and worked great....
I got my drums,shoes,and hardware etc from autozone though. Everything went great with install except my right rear kept basically not turning at all without using a pry bar on the studs. Figured maybe just drive a block or two because maybe everything was tight....
Wrong!!!
Burnt brake smell bad after only 3 min drive. Pulled over at house opened up both sides and everything looked same. I tear adjusted and cleaned, greased again and noticed when I tightened lugs drivers drum wouldn't spin.
The drum was so bad that pass or drivers side if I tighten with lug nuts it won't spin lol. Autozone is gonna swap though so hopefully it works.

Rear brakes finally adjusted correctly and the bad rear drum replaced.
Craigslist flaker never showed up to buy my Asian carb so the weber dream will have to wait little longer. But did get her running better with help from a friend. Timing is just hair advanced but still having trouble hitting 70 on flat ground.
Carb is really good so far, float is tad high but...
Valves good,
Timing chain, dizzy good, plugs, wires,ign,coil etc...
Gears are 4:10 or 4:11 with half worn 31s. Think 60 is just the way it is?

A lot has happened....
I removed the engine and replaced all the gaskets,
Heads, timing cover, front and rear main and removed all the smog components.
Word of advice never ever trust
Someone to do work you can haha.
P.s. I have a rebuilt Asian carb and 99.9% of California emissions components that passed smog for sale now
New inverted 22r lol. I had to really hammer down the oem oil pan, someone pried on it and bent it up... But a couple of brass blocks, punches and a tube of Toyota fipg and she looks sealed right up.

While ago I had it rebuilt and the compression was amazing afterwards. However the rear main started leaking and he didn't put a new front main seal and out a crazy oil pan cork gasket so it leaked oil in like 4 spots.... I don't know how he did such a nice machanical job but so crappy with gaskets. My neighbor helped me check mains, bearing and stuff and it was all great haha.
Plus I finaly removed the air pump, ac and the intake manifold to install the plates and plugs for a 100% conplete desmog.
All I got to do now is remove the front window chrome trim and sand some rust away.

Awesome, I see. Lucky with the desmog in Cali!

Well been couple weeks since any progress. Mostly becuase the rain and using my neighbors driveway.... Got the engine in and all that's left is:
Fuel line re-routing since I removed charcoal canister
Radiator and checking all coolant lines
Fixing a couple super old cracked out alternator wires
Then:
Remove window: and treat rust
Replace both front calipers, and brake booster and brake master cylinder
Then.... Drive it haha.

Update
ZERO leaks after driving it around for few days. What a relief. Also....
I tore apart the whole dash to fix a switch issue and wow learned a lot about hidden bolts, short wires lol.
And.... Had a mouse that previously lived in my dash. Above the glove box is a big metal bar like a support structure. There was a big best, very old but big.
I didn't take pictures becuase just wanted to get it back together before wife got back and started asking questions haha

huge update...
sitting on 35in MT tires, been driving/wheeling truck ever since. sometime in the past 3 months the truck was sitting and the junk alarm from the previous owner caused a melted spot in the drivers side in cab fuse panel. Anyone ever order a painless wireharness/fuseblock kit or have a source on a truck/4runner I can pull/buy the fuse panel from?
