1964 FJ40 Build
Hello all.
I finally got around to putting a thread together about the build that I've been doing on my cruiser. I have been working on it for almost a year now and thanks to this site I think I have gotten quite far. I found my cruiser in Corpus , but it had Arizona tags and by looking at it I could tell it was not in Corpus very long. This is some of the specs on her: 406 SBC "Muy Torque" - Completely Rebuilt TH350 tranny - Completely Rebuilt Stock T-case - Completely Rebuilt Stock axles - Completely Rebuilt (Rear got later model shafts and a Detroit Locker) 4in HFS lift with some really long shackles that came with the cruiser. Going to try to run 35s without cutting the rear fender wells. Thats all that I can think of right now, I guess I'll start posting pics now. -my64fj40 __________________ "Jeep, it's what's for dinner." 1964 FJ40- 406 SBC - TH350- HFS 4in- Detroit in rear- 35s Build Thread: http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...87#post1089087 Build web-site: (Still in progress) http://my64fj40.bravehost.com/ Last edited by my64fj40; 03-14-07 at 07:48 PM. |

Next we started with the frame.
We got it down to just frame, axles, and springs and then started preping it. Edit: I guess I should have been more specific in what I meant by prep. First grinded all the surface rust off I could with wire wheel. Then rolled a couple shops down and got to use my buddy's steam cleaner on it.

And then the Metal Ready.
This caused the frame to have some Flash Rust... - Then we removed the axles and suspension - Edit: The flash rust is not a bad thing, it is a sign that the Metal Ready properly etched the metal. Plus POR15 sticks to somthing with a tooth much better than smooth metal. __________________ "Jeep, it's what's for dinner." 1964 FJ40- 406 SBC - TH350- HFS 4in- Detroit in rear- 35s Build Thread: http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...87#post1089087 Build web-site: (Still in progress) http://my64fj40.bravehost.com/ Last edited by my64fj40; 09-28-06 at 07:35 AM. |

Summary of the POR 15:
It adhered great and would highly recommend it. Here is the amounts that I bought to use: I ended up buying 1 gallon of Marine Clean, 1 gallon of Metal Ready, 2 quarts of grey POR 15 (easier to put the black chassis coat of a grey color rather than another black that way you can see all the areas missed better) and 2 quarts of black chassis coat. You should ,in the end, have a little left over which I ended up using on some smaller stuff including the gas tank. Better to have a little left over than not enough. If yall have any questions about the POR15 let me know Here is a link to POR 15s website: www.por15.com -my64fj40 __________________ "Jeep, it's what's for dinner." 1964 FJ40- 406 SBC - TH350- HFS 4in- Detroit in rear- 35s Build Thread: http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...87#post1089087 Build web-site: (Still in progress) http://my64fj40.bravehost.com/ Last edited by my64fj40; 11-07-06 at 07:08 AM. |

Did you rebuild the T-Case yourself or did you take it to some one?
