Surprisingly I think I understand what you’re saying there! 👍Did you find a link for the sleeves?
I really didn't look for availability, just that they were in the catalog.
Outer 99-138
Inner 99-243
I THINK that's the right ones

Well if it works, great, if not you can return to the stone age,, a couple wraps of wetndry, a couple turns of a leather boot lace and a stick to make a bow. Pretend like you're trying to start a fire.🤪
Learned this at a machine shop in the back country jungles in the Philippines

A quick glance at the Speedi Sleve book shows they have sleves for inner and outer seals, bad news is they are $40-60 ea

There is a very long post about the brake bias valve.
Basic thing is because its supposed to be a pickup truck and its now sitting level, so the bias valve thinks that the pickup is empty and sends most of the breaking force to the front brakes.
The higher the arm is the more brake is shifted to the rear. A lot of people just unbolt it from the bracket on the axle and bolt/bailing wire the arm to the house floor.

Well the good news is that the bearings have inner races so the axle is good to go. The bad news is you have a lot of polishing to do the axle so the seals will live. MAYBE there is a suitable Speedie-Sleve.

Not a Toyota, but its our style...https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-chevrolet-astro-cl-awd-provan-tiger-gt-camper/

Well what do you think? It's about the same size, only 22'x8'. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-stewart-and-stevenson-m1088/

The glass is smaller than the frame opening. Slip the gasket into the frame, Flex the gasket insert the glass and then install the lock strip.
An old school glass guy will have the skill and tools.

Are the pieces of glass inside small crumbles or large jagged pieces??
Little crumblies mean tempered glass, which is a pia to get in custom sizes. Large jagged pieces mean its been replaced before with window glass.
Check with a glass shop to see if they can get a piece of safety glass. Years ago my local glass shop was able to cut a piece of flat safety glass for my cab over window.
I think it was $115 installed.
If all else fails then cut a piece of lexan, NOT plexiglass

Its a 20 min job to pull the valve cover and see what is happening inside.
The timing chain can be changed without removing the head, done it before, but its a gamble, with all the opinions about interference/ non interference.
Removing the spark plugs and using a bore-scope would be useful

Not an open wrench, but a flair nut wrench

So have you had your first "I wanna buy it" note stuck under a wiper yet?

Sorry, sometimes reality sucks. No matter what upgrades you do to your toy it's going to be a grossly over loaded 40 year old 1/2 ton pickup truck. Many of the improvements result in a safer ride, not necessarily more comfortable ride.

Cool or what

OK, here's one that is actually for sale...https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-nissan-atlas-motor-home/

Linda,
Here is the perfect boat to hook up to your Datsun and drag over to Lake Shasta and putt around.

Can't check over the internet, but fuel pump dead, ignitor dead. If either dies the engine stops quickly.
Sorry but there are easy checks if you understand engines. Trying to teach/learn over the net is problematic.
If the engine cranks or turns over, but wont run, Youtube can help a bit with both possibilities, If it won't crank you have multiple layers of problems.
Sorry not much help

The "factory" setup uses 2 bearings and 2 seals. The bearings are handpacked. the same as frontwheel bearings. Who knows what a "I know more than the factory" PO has done
-
There is a thin paper gasket between the axle flange and the hub. Easy to make from gasket paper.
Ace Hardware has metric bolts as do most auto parts stores.
I think the bolts to pull the axle are a LOT smaller than 12mm
-
Well thats an interesting place for an O-ring. About the only place it could come from is where the shaft goes into the steering box. Although I would have thought that the shaft would have a seal instead of an O-ring.
If you can remove the steering box, people make a rebuild seal kit for them. A rebuilt box seems to be in the $300-700 range

Would a rubber grommet and flat washer work on each screw.

A rubber donut or a coil spring as an anti-vibration mount???

Good deal, many different lengths, measure twice, buy once.
