On my 78, the parking brake cable goes through my floorboard. On my 74 tub, there isn't a hole there. Can someone show me how the cable is routed? Thank you!

Made of steel, the hole is not threaded. AI strikes again. I'll reply if I figure it and I'll edit the heading for future mudders' searches.

Actually, AI may have come to my aid. Here's what Gemini said. Now, if this is correct, can anyone point to where exactly on the 40 it may have come from? Thanks! Gemini: This is a brake line / clutch line hose retaining clip (often referred to as a horseshoe clip or frame tab clip). How and...

Sorry for cluttering the board with this, but does anyone have any idea what this is? 78 FJ40 (November 77 build date). It was floating around in a box with parts, and I'm not sure where it came from. Any ideas?

Thank you.

I did a mud search, but couldn't find the info. I then asked AI, and it said that some wheels wouldn't work with the front disc brakes. AI has given me plenty of wrong info, so thought I should post here. I don't know much about wheels, been focused on other parts. Will OEM wheels that came off...

original color was olive 653, but the mix is hard to get right. I've seen it come out way too green on some projects, and I want it to lean a little more brown. I have seen the "Trail Dust" 5C8 in person and really like it. I also like that it's an actual cruiser color (even if not period...

A smaller hole on each side of that hole, I guess for mounting screws. The hole is only on that corner, not on the other corner (I was thinking maybe turn lights, but they'd be on bogh sides). I've been looking for pics of cruisers to identify what it is for, but can't seem to find anything...

Thanks. I'll give them a call.

1974 body on a 1978 frame (and brake components). Any recommendations on a brake booster/master cylinder/assembly combo? Easiest route? Any vendor recommendations? any past threads to point to? Thanks fellas.

Yeah, been a while since I have worked on the body. Been working on mechanical. Need to get this thing done before my wife leaves me. One last thing to patch before getting it blasted. Tailgate corner had some spotty rust, cut it out, used some paper to make a template. welded it in. I ended up...

I have been working on a 74 tub to put on my 1978 frame (VIN November 1977). Anyone know if there are any major fabrications or changes I'll have to make on the 74 tub to accomodate the brake/booster, clutch master, blower box, etc.? Anything else I should keep an eye out for? Body progress has...

Tell me about your side steps/running boards. Why did you go with those, and where did you get them? Sorry if it was previously addressed. Thanks!

Is this the one on the road to Gooding? I saw one that looked similar last year as I was driving past and stopped to admire.

Thanks for typing this out. Greatly appreciated. In your previous post you said you went with the KYB in the rear because you'd be running mostly with a soft top. From my research, If one were to mimic your purchase, but use Bilstein for all four shocks, all four shocks would be the same...
