      TomV replied to the thread Oil Bath Air Cleaner Filter Element.
      Thank you all for the additional info and parts number. Been working on cars for 40 years and never saw an oil bath air cleaner before. The amount of 1960s technology on my 82 45 is amazing--- I guess when they continued selling the 45s...

      Thanks for the replies. Found another post in which it was suggested that these tractor filters might work, I ordered one and will see how it fits...

      On the 1982 45LWB Middle East Spec I am restoring, it has an oil bath air cleaner that looks like this (not my truck, photo copied from internet): Right now there is nothing inside the metal canister on my truck, the canister that goes...

      If it's more about the inners, I'd be tempted to just get a bead roller and/or find a metalwork shop and just have some metal cards rolled, design of your choice. Less fiddly, and you'd keep the more modern hardware/latches.

      A vantage of the later doors is it's possible to add speakers without cutting the metal skin. My 73 FST came with 72 hard top and doors installed. Door skins were cut in the lower front for 6 1/2" speakers. FJ40 are noisy enough without removing...

      Not really. You could search door cards or something like that. Some vendors sell aftermarket ones. You could easily make up a set.

      The PO of my 72FST put on a 76 hardtop and doors. There was stuff done to make it fit, but I have no clue. I really like the ambi doors because I don't hit my head on them. The front recessed door handles don't rip off going threw the...

      My dad did this to his 1978 Fj40. So weird, he was talking to me about this just a few days ago when I visited him. Essentially, he has an original 1978 that he's converted to look like a 1973. He kept all the 4-speed and 2f drive train from the...

      Thanks for the info, something to think about. Really don’t want to use the door cards I have. They’re not ugly just very plain. Is there a pinned thread on the site with photos of interiors that might show different door inners?

      Not sure how the late model door limit opener will work on the thinner doors. The early style limit had to open the round opening in the A pillar since the doors are thicker. I changed to later style doors because they are one piece and do not...

      I think you need to change the striker plate on the B pillar.

      One difference is the door latch mechanism. I’m not sure what it would take to change it out.

      Wait, they bolt right up? I had been told there were differences but not what the differences were, which is why I am asking. Are you saying they will fit without any modifications?

      Is there any way pre-75 doors with the "metal" inners can be made to fit on late-model 40s? Specifically, looking to fit these style doors on a 1982 FJ45. I like the way these look better than the "door card" style I have now.

      Could it possibly be the brake light switch?

      So you were right, Byron, parking brake switch. When depressed, red square light on dash goes out. Thanks for the help all.

      Could it a parking brake switch? Does this truck have a light to indicate when the parking brake is engaged? I should know that but i've never actually driven the truck, bought it last year and it wasnt running. Just finished an engine swap.

      Thanks Dude, but wires are too short to reach the doors.

      TomV replied to the thread What is this?.
      Byron that's a good thought and I also thought it might be a switch under either the brake or clutch pedal but the wire is too short to reach any of the pedals.

      Reassembling a 1982 FJ45 that I took apart a year ago, anyone know what this thing is? It is inside the cabin, has a little clicker on it that can be depressed but springs back when released. I stupidly forgot to label it when I took things...
