[treerootCO]

Awesome! Let me know sent you a PM.

[FJnotCJ]

No, I don't think he would be talked out of it....

Maybe that guy has an old crusty one laying around he would be willing to sell. I don't need museum quality, that should go to someone like Phil.

Oh yeah, you need a parts rig now...I have just the one for you! But it's an earlier FST 25, a 59 or 60 with the funky motor mounts and "high" tool box. Then you'd need to find a parts rig for it...

I took a trip up to Glacier a few years back and saw some pretty country along the way. Maybe another Montana trip is in order

The gas tank straps and the gauge parts showed up last week and...

I found a gas cap! Now I need a gas cap for that one Phil warned me this would happen....

Is there any difference between the high tool box front seats and the low toolbox front seats? Looks like I am in need of some high toolbox front seats...

Three's company!!!

How cool is this?

I started the 1960 FJ25 engine today after soaking the rings in Marvel Mystery Oil. She has been sitting in a field for years!

I've got this old parts cluster, early 40, maybe 62 or 63. also have these straps from early 40's

In post #254 in my thread: -► https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/544543-clusters-gauges-odo-meters-13.html
we have found out that up to 1962 the High Beam Indicator had a green lens. From 1964 it changed into a blue lens. What the color was in 1963 is still open, so we can safely say that your cluster is pre 1964 because of the green lens.

Landy gas caps fit... see link>>> https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gas-cap.122706/

 

[treerootCO]

Found a set of what I believe to be correct Koito headlights...

 

[treerootCO]

Does anyone know a shop that can put these back to stock? The PO appears to have cut, flipped, and welded the rims to make them a deeper offset. It would be a shame to scrap four FJ25 16" rims if I can't get them fixed...

 

[cult45]

Any luck with that Land Rover fuel tank cap?
