So I have a 350 v8 out of a 83 suburban attached to a TH400 trans with a 208 transfer case. I was planning on swapping all three into my blue 68' cruiser. I am rebuilding the 350 to a 383 stroker and putting shift kit in the TH400. Is there any advice you guys got for me for when I swap...

thanks for the advice about the suburban parts i was just gonna send it all to the junk yard. I will give that place a call. so do you think it is best to swap the axles so that I can use the suburban tcase.

thanks for the info. I will be checking that stuff tomorrow. I am pulling the body off of the suburban. I will post some picks of what I got once I have more information. I looking for any advice of what you or anyone one else would do. I'm new to rebuilding but been a life long fan and I am...

ok. thanks for the advice. I would still like to swap in the 350 and the th400 trans. is tha possible with either transfer case.

I have always wanted a old fj40 fixed up. I have patients and want to do most of the work myself as I can. I just don't know were to start.

I was planning on using the one that is in the suburban now. I believe it is a 203 or 205. I'm looking to do the start of a frame off restoration this winter. I would like to do it farely inexpensive. I plan on only doing the frame down for now. Any adice.

So if I'm better of staying with the stock FJ40 axles what should I do with them? I would like disk brake, but do I need them? I'm not sure if the suburban axles are for sure 1 tons I have looked at the pumkin case.

I was planning on just grinding all of the original mounts off of the 1 ton axles and rewelding all the new mounts that I need. I wasn't gonna cut the axles down either, just keep them there original width. If the original axles are sufficient for moderate 4wheeling then I will probably just...

I recently bought a 86' suburban and it has 1 ton axles under it. I am rebuilding my 68 FJ40 and was wondering if it would be wise to put the 1 ton axles under it or is it not worth the work. I am putting a 350 motor with a TH400 transmission in it and I'm going to use it for daily driver and...

good deal. I am using the hatch and one of the side panels that were originally from the blue top and going to mate them up with the rest of the pieces from the white top. hopefully before snow falls. I'm trying to find new seals for them but having a little bit of trouble. any ideas

I'm currently driving the blue one around everynow and then. I only got the other two because the guy I bought them from would only sell them all together. I feel I got a pretty good deal for $2000. I working on putting a solid top of the blue one right now before snow falls in the next month...

Yeah that would be a good idea. I didn't have a picture of the one I'm working on.

I recently bought three fj40's two of them run. I am starting to work on one of them. I have a ton of parts that are in good condition that I am probably not going to use and looking to sell. I am looking for advice on how to do some of the body work. I would like to get one top put together and...
