What year?

FJ40194608

Yes. 10413

Whats the vin of the 2/75? Im alway on the hunt for feb 1975 serial numbers, looking for one close to mine Fj40193877

Need to verify what if any degree shim you need. Get it level and compare degree findings between the input flange on the front rear and the transfer output to the front. Iirc oem caster is only like 1 maybe 2 degrees.

Im confused

how are these not the correct bows?

yeah got the bows covered...or well, trying to get the bows covered.

this is what im looking for....pretty much just the top, to a top, but for an fst.

definitely magic.

I’m going with magic And when you figure out the color change you may also find out it is not an “FJ” by the looks at the photo you provided!

where could i find an oem-looking-ish full bikini top to fit fst bows?

no, never had an issue, either with a direct drive or the gear reduction version.

Remove the driveshaft and put the angle finder on each flange.

got the passenger side rear drum off. is there a source for the drums, or can later years be used? i tossed one of the old drums from the rear of the 75 at it this morning and they fit just fine, other than the center opening is much larger on...

there is nothing wrong with wanting a straight 6. i enjoy how smooth they run.

Got the first drum off, the shoe lining and drum had grown together. Right rear is turning...sorta but still cant get the drum off....more fire is in order.

give it the ol rev and choke by hand rebuild. take the air cleaner off, rev it by hand, block off the venturi with the other hand, open throttle fully while choking it out.

Dont know haven't crawled under it yet.

Picked up some reading material as a deal of the day on ebay. 75 for the both of them. There's just some about the feel paper as you are reading something.

When with the headers?

Tailgate and liftgate for the W.

I forget what head number i have, but i know it's off a Late F engine. Pretty sure it's the open chamber head you mention. Back in 2004 when i rebuilt the 2F block, i was able to find Federal-Mogul domed pistons and Total Seal rings, .050 over...

I’d guess Seminole Red.

Nope home made. Pretty common mod.
