You may get more traction on answers to your questions by checking with the pig sty. Look for the FJ55 Iron Pig Preservation Society at the bottom of the forum menu.
Found this in the trash this past weekend, cant believe someone would get rid of this thing! Its in amazing shape, not a single issue with it, has a build date of 12/76.
One of the smartest things I’ve done in this arena was getting a batch of overland metric bolts/nuts/washers.
