Looking for a TH350 to '84 split case adapter. I'm in Omaha, NE.

If youre still looking for FJ60 wheels, Ive got 3 sets. All are in good condition. Located in Omaha, NE.

I'm doing a mild rebuild on a 2005 5.3LS before I drop it in my '78 FJ40. I'm planning on a new cam, and am leaning toward one of the Elgin "sloppy stage II" cams that can be had on the cheap. Has anyone used one of these cams? They offer about 3 different grinds, all with differing...

If you don't have any luck in SoCal, Ive got 3 sets (no center caps) in Omaha, NE (68132). $50 each + the ride.

I'm working on collecting parts for an SOA on my '78 FJ40. The current springs on the 40 look like a collection of mismatched springs from other vehicles put together by a blind man with his feet. I have access to a full set of stock '84 FJ60 springs that are in good condition. I know that the...

With LS engines having been around for 20 years now, Id bet you'd have just as easy of a time finding an LS3 serpentine belt in a small town NAPA as you would for an SBC. And both will be easier to find than any 40 year old 2F.

I see you're in Washington, so I don't know what your local prices are like, but I see complete LS engines every day on Craigslist for less than $1000 here in Nebraska. I paid $300 for my L33 5.3LS complete with ECM. I had to pull it, and that saved me $200. I'll end up paying more for the...

Are you happy with the results of the Eastwood Chassis Black. My FJ40 is coming apart to do the LS engine swap and I'd like to use that product on mine. Did you spray it or brush it? You went over Eastwood's rust converter?

I'm getting ready to pull the tub off the frame on my '78 FJ40. I have the stock roll bar out of it too. My question: Should I cross-brace the tub before removing it since the cage is out? Or is it stiff enough to stay straight?

I posted this in the FJ40/FJ55 forum but got no feedback. Maybe it'll work here. I'm working on my '78 FJ40. Laying out power steering. I have an '84 FJ60 steering box. I'm planning on a SOA using flipped FJ60 springs. Am I going to run into fitment issues? I'm assuming I'll need to relocate...

I'm working on my '78 FJ40. Laying out power steering. I have an '84 FJ60 steering box. I'm planning on a SOA using flipped FJ60 springs. Am I going to run into fitment issues? I'm assuming I'll need to relocate shock towers (F250?). If the towers are moved forward with the spring flip, will...

Set of used Spector Off Road headers for an FJ40 with a small block Chevy. These are the ones that go over the stock steering box and through the lower edge of the inner fender. I have no use for them since my LS swap. They're in Omaha, NE. 68132 Buyer pays shipping. $25 OBO

I love reading these posts from the hardcore restoration guys, even though its not my thing. You guys are meticulous. I dated a girl in highschool whose dad restored '57 Bel Airs. He had a rubber stamp made so that he could stamp the heater hoses every 8" with the original script that was used...

Ive got 3 sets, but Im in Nebraska. Shipping might be cost prohibitive.

Looking for the adapter to go from a TH350 to an '84 FJ60 transfer case. Im in Omaha, NE 68132
