I will post some pics when I get the truck back. Thanks everyone.

I bought a 1971 fj40 and the past owner had died before I bought the truck. The motor looks like a 1F but many of the part are GM. I now needed to replace the starter and a toyota Landcruiser starter will not fit. Is there a GM block that is so close to Toyota that parts interchange? What...

thanks Thanks fellas, I didn't hear anyone mention that Holly 32/36 that all the distributors seem to have. Most everyone is right. I have a spacer from the manifold but I still have all the original air cleaner stuff. I sounds like a stock one is the way to go. EBay has a rebuilt one for...

What is the best carb for my 71 1F motor. I have no smog and just want the thing to run good with no drama. My Rochester is a pile of junk. And where is the best place to get one a a fair price?

I just got a set of OME springs..without the instructions. Which whay is front..and back. There is aplus sign on all springs...is that front?

I have no idea. I just put the wires back the way they were. I assume they are correct because the low beams work and it didn't catch fire.

I have replaced the floor dimmer switch, a headlight relay and a head light with the same results. When I push the dimme4r switch from low to high,,,the nhead laps go out. The light on the dash does nothing.

Hey fellas, I need a little advice from the experts. My head light will not turn to high beams. I have replaced the switch. When I click the floor dimmer switch the lights go off, same as the old switch. I replaced a head light but have the same problem. What is wrong?

Does anyone have knowledge of the Black Diamond 3 inch lift? Is it good? I need a 3 inch kit that won't break the bank or my back? They want 650.00 for the set up. Barry

Thanks Steve, So I can use a dodge deisel trans with their bell housing with an addaptor to my 1f motor. Then buy an addaptor for my t case...and It all should work?

Ok fellas, I know I ask a bunch of questions for a new guy but, I see an nv4500 from a 1999 dodge deisel, 105000 miles, with bell house, clutch and transfecase for 650.00. Is this a deal? Is a tranny from a deisel good? Can I use a dodge transfer case in my fj40 or will I use my old T...

Ok fellas' who makes the best functioning electronic ignition system for a 1971 1F motor?

There is a 1978 fj40 that just poped up on craigslist. It have 88000 miles and has been sitting in some guys yard in San Leandro, ca. California car with no rust. I think he want 5000.

When looking for this chevy/ dodge transmission does it have to be out of a 4x4 truck or can it be a two wheel drive? Barry

Could be crap in the line. Clean the sucker out before you spend money replacing anything
