A Start To The Custom Hilux Interior!!

[@brentmchenry9273]

For the gas pedal, maybe try flipping your floor bracket so it's under and behind the pedal, making the pedal's bottom go closer to the driver's seat? That may make it kick out and down far enough to allow the slot to fit on the end of the bar?

[@dwayneevans1784]

Brent is correct, the bracket needs to get flipped :)

[@petenagy]

just checked my '78...the gas pedal bracket is indeed flipped; the pedal is bolted to the floor on the backside of the pedal, not the front side as you installed it. The linkage does go through the elongated hole in the pedal.

[@WeaselBurrito]

Fighting the same internal battle about selling my 87. Have too many, don't drive it much, want to move on to other projects. Your price is a little strong but it is an extremely nice truck. Love how the Hilux is turning out.

[@joesobaski1966]

Can’t wait to see the dash progress. Looking really good!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!! Some exciting stuff coming!

[@d9daprogrammer]

I am a Toyota junkie myself and have built a few lol not on your level though, one thing I can say is, it sucks when you have to sell them :-( even though we build them for the culture, after investing so much energy in them you grow attached. Love the content man, I am way too invested lol keep the content coming.

[@mrm4155]

I’m thinking for the heating controls, you should powder coat the levers too, that might stand out once it’s all done since the rest of the interior has been painted/coated

[@timothyadem8354]

Austin your level of patience is on a another level. I love what you do. I am watching from Kenya, East Africa

Another great video I watch you all the time since I found your channel but Just a idea instead of a cigarette lighter have you thought about a after market double USB plug for powering electronics and possibly tie it into the stereo just a idea off the top of my head that way it would look more modern !!

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

I have no doubt you will get what you want for that truck

[@yonellowernet5984]

Why is there a clamp on the parts when powder coating? What is that for? Great channel and videos ! Just found out and subscribed to your channel. We own a Toyota Hilux '94 double cabin with a 2Y carburated engine and a 4 speed gearbox. Greetings from Aruba .

[@MZmowing]

The linkage does go through the bushing on the pedal

[@rossmccredy8622]

I have a 1974 Hilux and the pedal is pretty similar, not connected to that rod at all. I can send a video if it helps. great videos!

[@وطن-ك4ج]

You are very creative and wonderful my friend you deserve all the appreciation I follow you from Jordan

[@maddtech348]

I had no clue what u had into the flat bed truck and estimated it just a touch above what u were thinking especially in today's market. the trucks beautiful and will be gone extremely fast. where I'm from that truck wud be gone that day straight up.

Id love to have big red, someone is gonna get a killer ride! Good luck with the sale

Thanks!

That Toyota looks great man! I’d love to buy it fro you but, I had a brain bleed and bacterial meningitis in 2019 and now I’m on SSDI so it is not in the cards

Thanks! Sorry to hear that and I hope for a speedy recovery!

It was a great build series and the truck served its purpose (tons of views and new subs I’m sure). GLWS!

I’d kill to have you rebuild my ‘86 SR5 4x4 M/T. She needs the love so bad.

Flip floor bracket 180.

[@mrm4155]

I’m thinking don’t sell it, get rid of the leaf springs and put a 4 link suspension in it, that would be cool! Have you posted the truck for sale on any websites?

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

Wow Austin this little truck is going to be super clean everything is turning out really bitchin. I really dig what you did with the HVAC registers !

Need to make some t shirts of the green truck and sale them like you did with the red truck. I would buy one

[@dannymcpherson2792]

I assume the pedal just rests on the linkage and the little cut out on the pedal is just a stop🤷🏼‍♂️ idk weird

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

A usual, great job

[@Paulo-it5gq]

Always a bit sad to know big red as to go 🚶‍♂️ it's such a unique build and it's actually a brand new truck . Love what u did with the Dash , u can aways buy a cup style astray and put a cup holder some where some cars have it like that stock . I really would love to see the dashboard powder coated maybe even in white but black would be the first option, would raptor line like u have in big get be a good idea ? I'm still with the white powder coat dashboard or places or parts of it with white . But there's lots of cool colors to choose but wanna point that there's not many metal dashboards and would look cool if was powder coated .

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! Yes I think some white in the dash will look sweet!

[@sandrolourenco5726]

For the gas pedal that is totaly normal mine is a 82 and has the same problem just watch out when u are driving it to not pull the pedal too far

Such an awesome truck. I’d have that in a heartbeat if it was in Australia. Just watching your builds, the quality, time and effort you put into them any of them would be a great addition. WHY this channel isn’t near a million subscribers has me scratching my head.

[@Butho_04]

Another Aussie viewer here ... Just daydreaming what Austin could do to an 80series (my dream "truck")... The quality is above anything I'm yet to see on KZbin... Except maybe the two British guys who've been building the mini for a few years now

Thanks guys! We will get there someday!!

[@zainsajid595]

Austin, wouldn't you be using any foam insulation or underlay behind the heater box? wouldn't that help against engine heat?

You really should wear gloves working with those detergents/cleaners/acids/whatever. Even if you think your skin isn't affected, it will do damage that will catch up with you later in life. I speak from long experience, it's just not worth the risk.

Put the throttle linkage in the tube first then mount the bottom down

[@stuartschmidt9867]

if you flipped the bracket 180 degrees around on the bottom of the pedal would it move the bottom of the pedal out/down and put that rod in range?

[@austinniemela]

I think that is the fix!! Im going to try!

[@andresfeliz3841]

The gas pedal floats on that rod and hits the cutout on the back of the pedal thats factory.
