1970 FJ55 Land Cruiser *Forgot to mention I have a set of the famous BobM replacement rockers NOS in the box. Had them for years and never got around to putting them on. Stock rockers are pretty beat up* 33 inch All terrains 2 spares Ramsey winch Chevy 350 Custom giant radiator Custom heavy...

I bought his rockers a few years ago and have them in the garage, I regret not buying everything he had.

Sorry, I completely forgot to do this. I had been waiting on it and the second I got it I slapped it in. I will say that it seems to be working. The adjustment is still pretty touchy but doable. Only mistake I made at this point is my Clutch fork looks more like 2 degrees instead of 4. To...

Upside to using an adjustable GM pivot is in the future I shouldn't need to remove the adapter to swap the pivot. I am also trying to get some good truck Karma by actually cleaning and repainting parts this time. I have a bad habit of not caring about greasy covered parts and that contributed to...

It seems I do not have an AA adapter. I have an Old Downey. At least some good news. I was able to remove the adapter and pivot.

OK I think I see what you are talking about. I did not clearance the adapter for that part. Must have been done in the past. I circled in red what I think you are talking about just to 100%. Pic 1 - shows what was machined flat. Pic 2 - shows the new retainers relationship to bell housing and...

Yeah I completely understand. In my case it was definitely a contributing factor. Basically I think you can get away with a chevy clutch as long as your pedal is set up perfect, pivot ball has no slop, TO bearing has no slop on the clutch fork, Slave adjusted perfect. Everything going back on...

pic 1 - where it actually does rub and explains why it was a pain to suck the tranny all the way in. Should be a quick fix with the grinder. pic 2 - Current clutch arm labeled 376(5?)374G.M.2868. Getting replaced with GM# 3765372 pic 3 - Actually does not look too worn in here pic 4 - Is a...

So I am now able to drop the transmission from FJ55 complete and ready to drive to on the floor in 2 hours. Pic 1 - better pic of adapter plate that shows dowels. I am assuming this is not the very first model but old as dirt still. Pic 2 - shows my current front bearing retainer. Pic 3 -...

This is the older style 4 speed? H55F? bearing retainer that was on this truck for 25 years. Where was it machined so I can make sure it is is not hitting on the new one? Since the new one bolted all the way up and was working I am probably ok. Edit. The current retainer I have is the one...

Do you have a picture of what was machined on the old 4 speed front bearing retainer? That bearing retainer appears to have been transferred to a H55f at some point. I have a new H55f with the new style bearing retainer and did not use the old one but I still have it.nI did have my new H55f...

I am assuming it is 11"....
