It's a '72 but a bit of Frankenstein. It has the F motor but a 4spd transmission. I ordered the clutch master and slave conversion from JT Outfitters, so hopefully that fixes the problem.

I was driving my 40 recently and I noticed that the clutch pedal was quickly loosing pressure. I was lucky enough to ALMOST make it home and as I came to a stop near my house and waited for the garage door to open, the clutch pedal lost all pressure and the rig completely shut down and would not...

Great suggestions. It sounds like the GR starter is the hands down winner. Thanks everyone.

My starter has been on borrowed time for awhile now, and it finally $hit the bed this morning. What's the best option available to replace it with? I don't really care what the cost is and a new one would be preferable over a rebuilt one.

I recently installed a Grant steering wheel that I want to compliment the vintage look of my cruiser, so I purchased the plain aluminium Grant horn button and found a company that will laser engrave the horn button with the Toyota logo found on the early OEM horn button. In order for the...

I have an aftermarket gauge cluster, so I can't speak to the compatibility of the LED lights with the stock high beam indicator. Sorry.

I already have an aluminum gauge cluster and switch panel, so I'm trying to keep the dash uniform in appearance with a matching glove box door. The short answer - trying to do something special.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tired drilling out the welds, but those pieces are really fused to the door. I think I'm going to have to get creative if I'm going to be able to make this aluminum door work.

Awesome! I've been looking for knobs like this for years. Put me down for a set!

Is anyone still making the custom dash knobs? Also, does anyone know where I can get a basic (on/off) push-pull switch in the same size and style as the OEM dash swithes? I'm in the process of wiring up a rear 12 volt heater and would like to add a swtich on the dash to turn it on and off that...

I'm in Pittsburgh this weekend and my buddy just purchased a new rig that we are looking to break in. Is anybody doing some wheeling tomorrow or know of any good 4x4 trails in the Western PA?

Marshall - Does your canvas top require waterproofing and is there special care you need to take when cleaning the top and windows? I don't want to mistakenly use a cleaner on the windows that ends up turning them yellow or cloudy.

I painted the bows blue

The Bestop uppers are unaltered aside from being re-skinned by Trollhole. They seal fine and fit really tight against the B-pillar.
