MDH33's latest activity

I think most folks doing resto's choose stock colors. None of the colors you mentioned were offered on 40's originally, afaik, so finding examples will prob be tough.

Sucked out the brake and clutch reservoirs, filled with new fluid, and gravity bled at the wheels, to get new brake fluid into the system.

Now that ive got the two major rust blisters patched up on the passenger rocker, it’s time to start thinking about filler and paint. When I bought the bottle of touchup paint, I also ordered a spray can of Pluto beige. A little light bulb moment...

Thank you! THIS is what I had in mind. Those 4s that are still floating off center in May of ‘66 throws my 12/63 theory out the window!😛 I’m hoping a few collectors that are on here can share pics and production dates like that, especially in...

Second rust repair finished.

Typical. I was planning to change the running board out, but I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire at the moment. So I got a big washer and slipped it behind the oversized hole, welded it in and re-slotted the track Now I can get back on track.

Axles all stripped so I'm on to the 2F. I'm about to hang it up for the day. Good progress so far. This thing has a PowerSurge that I actually sold him years ago that I'm s*** canning for a normal external fuel pump setup

Thank you, I got it off. Thanks again for your advice

Beautiful night at 12,000' outside Silverton CO.

Tonight was my night, and my FJ was part of it

@Coolerman provided an excellent step-by-step process, including pictures, on how to rebulid a 3 speed transfer case. https://globalsoftware-inc.com/coolerman/fj40/34A.htm I recommend reviewing this for guidance on what may help you with your...

You might need a different bearing puller. You need to get that bearing off after you take the shift housing and flange off. After you take the shift fork off, you should be able to move the whole assembly far enough out of the case to get a...

The front tie rod has seen better days. The rear bearings are slide hammered out Thirds are painted. I'll put new pinion flanges and seals in once I have them in the truck

Is this you on ebay? Says 10+ in stock? Ebay cad hardware kit

I posed the question of whether anyone had seen a repository of information on OE hardware manufacturers and approximate manufacturing timelines. Not much response. But while the majority of folks are content to reassemble their projects with...

Ok, thanks. Check is in the mail for the transmission and parts.

I don't recall having ever seen those Martin. Sorry.

Mark, any chance you have either of this style hand throttle cable with the silver emblem?

For real. I walked out of my local Toyota dealer when they offered us $3000 for our low mileage rust free Tundra... Nice 200! Congrats

You can leave a message anytime, and I will call you.😉

Sorry Mark, busy week, still interested and will call.

This is incorrect. For years we assumed that because the parts fiche listed the 2bbl application as 3/69-9/69, that it actually entered production in 3/69. This is an artifact of the parts fiche being initially released in 3/69. Empirically, it...

Like to resolve this by the weekend.😊
