One last question, what particular years have people used in the 80 series steering wheel swap?

Thanks to you all. I don't think I will go with the Grant aftermarket, looks like a pretty bad idea, (wheel itself looks good though!) My column produced 10/72 is not like the one pictured, it does not have the turn signal rod, nor is the base adjustable, I would end up with the big gap. It has...

I have an October 72 (production date) FJ40 that has GM power steering using the original L/C column and steering wheel. I'd like to replace the wheel with a smaller one that is a direct fit or a kit that is a clean DIY type. Can someone let me know if they know of a direct replacement? Or, if...

I am looking for the upper right and left side door hinges off of the cowling (door posts) of a FJ40. Can probably be off of any year from '70 through '74. My rig is a '72 I am in Washington Thanks

I am looking for a soft top complete with doors for my '72 L/C. I prefer one that is in excellent condition. I live in the Pacific North West. Thanks

paid $125 with frame off. That was for removal and install of a tinted window with the same gasket.

Thank you for the assistance. I will plan to keep it for the restoration of a 72 FJ40 but its not quite the same. I heard form one old boy that the tanks in the California FJ 40's in 72 were a bit different due to smog etc..... It should be a close fit.

Anyone recognize what year of LC this gas tank is out of? It is somewhere around mid 70's I think. Thanks for any help. Ralph

Need help: Truth or fiction? Looked over the forum and could not find a post. Is there a difference in the gas tanks in fj40's that were sold in california around 1972 vs Fj's that were sold elsewhere? I would like to find a OEM steel tank for my rig but was told by an old timer to be careful to...

I am looking for a 77 or later stock proportioning valve. It is about 4 inched in length, has in/out ports for the front and rear brake systems and was mounted on a small plate directly below the master cylinder. I need one that is in serviceable condition as they cannot be rebuilt.

I have a 72 FJ40 with a 77 fj40/55 MC, booster and disc set up. Does anyone know what the line pressure should be to the front front disc brakes? And also what it should be for the rear drum? The system seems pretty close to right on. I just am not satisfied that I have all the brake that I...

Heater core I have a used 72 FJ 40 heater, make me an offer and you cover shipping from Washington state

booster M/C I am too old for computers. I typed in that I did the exchange on a '77. My L/C is a 72 that I put the 77 brakes on. Sorry for any confusion. Help is still needed. Thank you:o

I put in a disc brake system out of a 77 fj55 into a 77 FJ40. I cannot lock up the disc brakes. I used my 72 stock master Cylinder and booster with the residual valve removed and a proportioning valve on the rear line.. I did a rebuild on the M/C, bench bled the M/C and bled and rebled the...
