Pardon my ignorance, what is an "RV" grind?

Looking for a "new" one. Are they hard to find? I am not doing the rebuild, my mechanic is.

I am in search for a cam for my FJ40. It is a '71 but had a new factory motor installed in '73. It has no serial number other than "F". What is a fair price for a cam on said motor?

Wow, what a journey! Did you ever think when you started that you would have been so in depth with this project? Great job. Were you able to salvage the rubber/plastic "drip rail" under the metal drip rail?

Thanks for the tips !

Ok thanks. I really didn't think it was the orange color that it was. It is being rebuilt for me & the mechanic needed to know. Does $1,000 for parts sound right?

Can somebody tell me what color was original to a 1971 Fj40 ?:confused:

I didn't read the whole post, do you still have the right side of the hard top?

I am located in Panama City Florida, and am looking for a right side hard top panel to fit my 1971 FJ40, or an entire top with both sides still on it. :bang:

Do you still have the hard top?

What are you asking for the top? And will it fit a 71?

No, it will not go down toward 2nd & 3rd at all. I will give it a shot & disconnect it & try it by hand. Oh, and there is also no problem shifting the granny gear low & high, (I know that is another horse all together).

Yes, the linkage looks right (as far as I can tell), & it shifts fine from 1st to reverse

Anyone sver heard of this problem? I have a 71 that has 3 on the tree. Motor cranked fine, drove it around the yard, and realized that it will not go in to 2nd & 3rd. Changed out the clutch & brake cylinders first cause they were shot. If I have to take it to a transmission shop it will have to...
