The parts hauler. A 22R build story

This is so cool. Always loved these trucks. I'm partial to 4x4 models, but still. Great work!

Cool rebuild, I had the exact same truck for a few years except it was red. 4-speed manual with zero creature comforts. It was awesome, but I just sold it recently for a '99 Tacoma.

I gotta ask, what is going on here? How does this gear work and what is its function? It doesn't make sense to me by looking at it:

Thats a Gerotor style oil pump.
Wikipedia to the rescue!

^yep! Some Bmw engines use similar pumps. The M42 uses a crank driven one just like this.

Nice work, more pics of mom.

What did you use on the floor board of your truck and did you notice that it made your cabin quieter?

Peel N Seal. It can be had at Home Depot for about $17 per roll. It works exactly the same as fatmat or any other audio insulator. It works well at reducing road noise especially in a little tin can truck.

Makes perfect sense now. Even though I'm happier with my slightly newer tacoma you're sure making me miss my old little pickup
