My 82 toyota Long Bed SR5

Ducatipaso, I've got a factory one out of a '80. I'm unsure of if it works, but it's yours for shipping if you'd like to try it out.
Not to hi-jack, but that rear cab liner we talked about in another thread is no longer avail. I do believe I saw one for sale for $40 on the Marlin Crawler forum.

I just removed my transmission. I have a friend who will rebuild it for me for a reasonable price since he lost his job and is working out of his garage. I'm replacing the clutch although it still looks good and resurfacing the flywheel, replacing the rear main seal since it will be a while before i take down the transmission again. I also just installed both tail light. a friend brought the from Guatemala about $3 each new (taiwan) one of mine was faded.

Just FYI, on the rear main...this is Marlin's (Marlin Crawler) advice on the rear main:
"4. Rear engine seal.
In almost all cases the rear seal will not be leaking. After removing the clutch assm and flywheel, and then the backing plate, carefully inspect the rear seal around the hub of the crank. Is it actually leaking, or is it the capillary action of the leaking valve cover rear half moon seal that was running down the back of the engine.
If it is not leaking, you have two choices:
A. Replace the good seal;
This is risky business. Remove the rear real, sand the hub of the crank, prelube the sealing lip of the seal and install it being very careful not to damage the seal during installation by hammering directly on the seal body. Then you need to hope that the new seal does not line up and contact directly on the worn area that was caused from the old seal. Never use a stainless steel speedy sleeve on the front or rear hubs of the crankshaft. They are very difficult to install straight, and because the steel is so hard, the seal does not lap in correctly and will always leak in time.
B. Leave the good seal alone;
This is the way Marlin advises. If the seal is not leaking, leave it alone. It has properly lapped in and is doing its job. I leave it until the motor is completely worn out and then you can properly replace it at that time. I have replaced more leaking seals due to customers who have installed a new seal when they did a clutch job. Only to develop a new leak later."
But of course it's up to you.
