Thanks, everyone for the response. I have a question for White Stripe about the LM7 5.3 with a 4l60e and a psi harness. This vortex configuration is mentioned a lot in the form, and if I go this route, will this require a change in engine position from where the original SBC was located...

Hi All, I have been scouring the forms, and there are a lot of opinions and options, and I'm getting "Paralysis by Analysis" and want to continue moving my FJ40 project forward. My question: I purchased a 76 fj40 for my wife to restore that prior owner put a 74 carbureted 350 mated up to...

Thanks for the quick response and I'll reach out to Hellwig.

I purchased a 76 FJ40 and had the frame sandblasted. After all the grease was removed I saw one of the helper springs was cracked. Can anyone identify the manufacture of this spring so I can replace it. The prior owner had them on all four corners, so I was planning to replace the broken...

I'm in the restoration of my FJ40 and have the front doors and hinges painted. When I pulled the truck apart, all the hinges had gaskets between each part, doors/body, except the front door hinge to the door. My question is what did the factory do? Looking through a lot of posts and...

How do I order a set for my 76 FJ? I'm looking for the hood, Amb doors, Spare Tire brass bushings.

Thanks for the link, and what a great site! I have so many parts to buy to complete this project! The search is half of the fun for me.

Hi All, When media blasting the tub, what did you do with the Vin plate. Remove it or cover it up. I have everything ready to blast and I'm trying to decide if I should drill out the rivets and reinstall when done. or just try to cover it up. At this point I have done everything but the...

I have a 76 FJ40 and found that the lower cab corners are rusted. Has anyone found a company that makes replacements?
