Cruiser Dan and his crew do it again!!!
So I was working on my FJ60 PS conversion on the 40 today.
We are making a steering column out of FJ40, 55, and 60 columns.
I was trying to find replacement u-joints for the 55 and 60 columns.
Local Toyota dealer asked if I was looking for the rubber disc (40 rag joint ) After we switch to the 55 he says he does not have them, but the 55 and 60 use the same u-joint. Cool to know!
So I go to an industrial supply, and NAPA. No one lists these by application, they wanted to measure them.
I call down to American Toyota in ABQ. C-Dan is not in, but one of his boys gets on the phone and says they were just talking about these joints, and they are the same as a u-joint in the driveshaft of a early Corrola - 1200 cc model. So I bounce into the next parts store (Carquest) and ask for a u-joint for driveshaft of an early 1200 cc Corolla, and SHAZAM! She has them in stock and they fit!
Little things like this make my day.
Cruiser Dan and his crew rock - thanks a million!
