Ordered all the seals that I need except for the IFS power steering box. I really want to rebuild it before I put it in, but seal kit that I mentioned a couple of posts ago seems to be no longer available.
If anyone knows where to get that, that would help tremendously.
In other news: I found the ball while sweeping my kitchen.
I posted a thread in the 86- forum about this. It seems like I'm one of the first to run into Toyota having discontinued this seal kit, as that thread isn't getting any hits. Someone over there recommended Toyotapartsovertock.com. I emailed those dudes just to be sure, but I'm pretty sure they're going to tell me the same thing Villagetoyota.com, Toyota of South Atlanta, and Toyota of McDonough told me.
Edit: I talked to the folks at Toyotapartsoverstock.com. That seal kit is discontinued. I ordered from Prosteering. The lady on the phone was really nice.
I have a friend that works at a part store and see he can get the seals. So far I have been able to dodge that repair. For the ball for your hubs, you can use the ball out of a 1/4 drive ratchet or extention. I need to add your hose parts number to my parts list I keep. Thanks for posting those.

Terry, I ordered the seals through Prosteering for $52 a set. I picked up two just for good measure. I decided that our might be useful to post the part numbers for all this stuff, so that I can find them again in the future. I'm glad you found some of that useful. I'm like an information hoarder.
I did find my ball, and I had picked up a couple of extras, since Marlin had them cheap and I was ordering a front axle rebuild kit.
I ordered Continental belt 13x875 to replace the power steering belt that's been discontinued through Toyota.
My 30x40 steel building is coming the 7th. I still have to do a bunch of scrapping and have a slab poured before I start putting that guy up.
Congrats on the new building. Not sure if you know what garage door you want, the roll up or the standard door that has the tracks. I went with the roll up door as I did not want the tracks and regret it. The roll up door you can not insulate and there is a big gap at the top when the door is closed. Wish I would of known of that when I had mine built. Eventually I will get the track door.
Something else I wish I would of known at the time but cant think of it now. If you have any quetions about or other suggestions I might could help out on that.
I got the insulated roll up door in 12'Hx10'W. It's not that bad to add more doors. I have a 24'x24' shop that is piled to the brim with a mix of junk and tools but is about to fall in. This one is going next to that one, then that one is getting re-skinned. I've also got a refrigerated trailer fringe the 50's that needs to go. It's a huge mess.
I got a pile of parts from Kyle Edwards at Toyota South Atlanta yesterday. That he's a really helpful parts guy.
I also got all this climate controll stuff from Toyota of McDonough. They have good prices and online ordering like VillageToyota or something. After work, I installed that stuff in my currently removed dash.
Here's the old, broken stuff. I have a couple of extra clips now.
The part number for the control assembly is 55910-89136.
The part number for the climate control face plate is 55519-89143. The back of it is stamped with a bunch of other part numbers. I haven't tried looking any of those up.
The part numbers for the four control cables are 55907-89116, 55908-89105, 55906-89110, 55909-89113. Right now, I can only recall that the blue one (listed first) hooks to the heater control valve under the hood.
At some point they changed the design of this cable and the control panel.
Here are the new control cables and the A/C electronics all installed on the new control panel.
I have no idea where this hose goes. I was looking for that hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake. I made a typo ordering this thing online and ordered hose 2, rather than hose 1. Jeez. The correct number is 12262-35030.
Nice thread! I'm still on page one but I saw this and wanted to ask before I forgot:

I told him that I thought his idea was a bit over my head. At that point he said that he “slightly gets off on wiring,” that he can get all the appropriate connectors, and that he would love to help me build a new harness for the whole truck. We’re doing that three weekends from now! Good bye and good riddance to any and all electrical demons.
Does your friend still have access to the right connectors? I'd like to do order some for mine so I can build a new harness myself. The more wiring I uncover, the worse shape I think my electrical is in. Not as much from hack installs and splices (though there's at least one of those) but mostly from age and plastic connector deterioration.

Hey, CamTom. Thank you! That wiring harness rebuild never actually happened. I couldn't ever make it over to Nashville to do that. He is still a Toyota tech. His interest is mostly in things like 80's Supras. My wiring turned out not to be that bad.

I should find out about that though.
Good deal, I'm glad yours turned out ok.
If you get a chance to find out and wouldn't mind PMing his contact info I'd be much obliged. Also, where were you sourcing your colored wire?
I've got a few connectors held together with paperclips and superglue, which seems to be a good long-term temporary fix, haha.
I've got a goal to slowly build new harnesses for the whole truck so that when I get around to restoring sections of the truck I can just pull the old wire and lay down the new and minimize down time since it's my DD.
Here are a couple of posts about positioning the power steering box on Pirate: Thread 1 Thread 2
It turns out that all I need to set up that hydro assist are a 1/4" NPT tap, a 7/16" drill bit, two hydraulic lines, 4 fittings and cooler. I've ordered everything except the cooler at this point. The Hydro Assist on the Cheap thread on the Marlin Forum has all the info on how to get that together.
I ran into a good deal on an e-locker rear end from a taco.
Let's see here... I need to make a list of things to do to get this thing back rolling.
Edit: I've been working on this thing sporadically for the past four years. Sometimes I let it go so long between updating the thread that I lose track of what I've said without re-reading everything. I'm going to take all of my to do lists from different posts and migrate them into the first post.
You will be surprised at what having a list like tht will do for our time when working on it. It speeds things up so much faster. When you are out in the shop, you cant think of three things. If you get hung up on one thing, you can take a break from it and go to another item.
Today, I picked up two of three orders that should have between waiting for me at the Toyota dealership. I'm still missing three hoses that I ordered back on 5/1.
I got my second birfield to axle housing brass bushing (9909-70067) and the hose that runs from the intake to the valve cover vent (12262-35030).
I got all my parts except a few things to change over to the TC steering pump. The truck has been on hold, as I've been working on my 2002 Volkswagen quite a lot lately. The high pressure fuel pump on the common rail diesel in my 2010 digested itself, and when this thing goes, it recirculates metal shavings through the whole fuel system basically totaling the car dealer only fuel system parts if Volkswagen doesn't pay for it. It's a "sort of" recall. The NHTSA case on this didn't really go anywhere, but it is an acknowledged problem with common rail motors now. In my case Volkswagen did cover it--parts and labor. Anyway, I needed something to drive and was thinking I could get that thing going before the dealer would be done with the fuel system repairs on the 2010. I did... sort of. Now, I have a whole garage full of exploded car, rather than just a half.
I'm moving at the end of next month, so I have about 35 days to get this thing running again.
I put the rearend together except for bump stops. I used OME springs. I have to say: My shackle angle is total garbage. I'm hoping that improves the first time I drive it and is helped more later by building a plate bumper.
I still have the interior and coolant system torn out from needing to have the radiator repaired and having the custom heater core fabricated. I've got all the parts, but... you know... The suspension and drivetrain are the fun part.
I moved on to the front end. I should have take before pictures. This thing was covered in 1/4" of grease-mud and filled with milkshaked gear oil from hub to hub. All the seals were blown out. Top trunion bearings were seized. It could probably use some new rotors, but I'll go to IFS rotors and calipers when they really go dead. One is more worn than the other, but neither one is scored or warped.
I got to the point that I needed my high steer arms to put the axle further back together, but they needed to be cleaned up and painted.
I replaced all these ridiculously annoying hoses in this area while waiting for paint to dry. It's way easier to drop the A/C compressor down and let it sit on the frame rail to get to these.
I decided that while I'm painting things, I ought to clear coat this pitman arm, clean up my IFS steering box and swap this thing on there.
I couldn't break the pitman arm but loose, so I ran up to the tire shop and got them to hit it with the air impact. It took a total of 10 minutes, drive time included.
It took me longer than it should have, but I got the front axle back together and in. I rebuilt the hubs like over a year ago. The ends on the tie rod had to be replaced. I used some used ubolt flip plates from some guy on pirate. I had to drill new center holes.
The IFS box that I have didn't appear to leak. I cleaned it up and threw a first coat of paint on it. I ran out of Rustoleum, so I moved on to rebuilding the leaking power steering pump from my truck.
It turns out that I have three seal kits for the box but none for the pump. I cleaned everything up and went to the parts store to order one. It should be in tomorrow. I need to take my power steering pressure line to a hydraulic shop to be reworked.
After that, it's plate the frame, mount the box, mount the shock hoops.
I'm taking suggestions as to where to mount a heatsink style power steering cooler.
