73FJ40

Probably the cheapest, easiest fix ever.

OEM shoes and brake cylinders have widened shoe tips and screw slots to ensure the shoes go in the correct way. The shoe lining is shifted to favor one end. The FSM illustrates the shift.

If you still have the old cylinders, and one side is wide, then you could swap the adjuster screws. If not, grinding is the quickest way.

Picked up this 70 40 last year that had PO mods that were unreal. here's a shot under the hood at some of the nifty electrical work, not to mention the A/C that fed front & rear evaporators. Last registered in 93... Before & after.

Appears available, $27.60 list price

Inspect the cap to confirm it's designed to allow fluid to get sucked back in to the radiator. Earlier caps didn't have that feature when collecting tanks didn't exist. My '73 did not come stock with an overflow tank.

@Devil's Slide Doug Someone solved this fitting problem for his tank, as explained in the following link: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/new-fuel-tank-pesky-fuel-fitting.998345/ You could change the barbed fitting he used to 5/16" by...

Look again. Connection 1: hose I.D. 5/16"; Style barb; Connection 2: hose I.D. N/A (it doesn't connect to a hose) Type: female NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical threads) Thread size: 1/4" (pipe) The issue with this fitting is that it...

Reading through these swap threads, it seems thats for the person who isn't going to be crawling but mostly driving theirs on pavement or at worst beginner trails/forestry roads, the 3 speed is just too rugged and easy to stick with to justify...

Easy, you have the mounting bracket upside down.

The fuel filter you have is not the identical filter to the OEM one for 09/71, but IMO it is appropriate, since it supersedes the original, and does away with a threaded outlet connection. Note that your original bracket was intended to support...

Code may be January 1975 which would be correct for a 74 with a four speed. Remove the top cover and compare how thick the gears are. 4/75+ gear were wider. Count on the idler gear. Larger would have 39 teeth. Smaller should have 27 teeth.

Usually either bracket is missing, first time I’ve seen one with both version on the same truck! :lol:

Your current fuel filter arrangement has been changed to match the 7209-7901 version shown in the fiche picture posted by @timmyisinthewell. The original filter, which includes a glass bowl to separate out water, is shown in post #6 by @Living...

Like everything Toyota, there may be alternative part numbers for the same application: Courtesy of @65swb45:

i am in the habit of cleaning and reusing timing cover hardware, so this has been under my radar. Dsb345 is going for a full nut and bolt resto, so i ordered him new hardware. Lo and behold, those two bottom bolts, the ones you have to clean...

The ones I got came coated with a blue sealant.

@cruiseroutfit Note to Kurt: It appears you are not charging enough for these little shims. I suggest you consider raising the price to $75 each, thus making the shipping charge less painful. Alternatively, charge $41.95 each and state...

It's apparent you're under informed on the current costs of shipping. Based upon USPS rates, Kurt is passing through shipping without any handling charges. I suppose you could avoid the $12.00 fee if you drove down to Utah and visited the pick...

Just about got stranded at the post office today, was tired of cranking several times over, so I dug in. Was a simpler job than I thought... Easy to take apart, used a combo of brake cleaner and carb cleaner with a few brushes to get all the...

Is the transfer case in neutral?

It it appears your radiator is not stock. Most folks use the stk radiator, make or adapt a fan shroud, and position the fan properly in the shroud. We would like to see more pics your conversion. I’ve been running multiple sbc's and a bbc in...
