I found them in this thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-john-denver-fj40.1376678/post-16277497 And then I reached out to him here and got all the details.

I also got a package from UPS today. Something about carts and horses….Shout out to @a1500ram for beautiful work!

Got the body back from the blaster/coater. Just a couple of spots that need attention.

And despite the lack of posts, I was busy getting parts to the blaster and prepping them. I just didn’t want to bore anyone with random shots of parts with gray primer.

I also found a photo of my ‘40 around the time I had bought it. And I also found a photo of an ‘85 FJ60 I had for a couple of years. I kick myself everyday for selling it because it was damn near perfect.

Thread revival, it’s only been a year. I dropped the body off at the blaster this morning. I had finally got my metal fixed using panels from CCOT and Real Steel.

Got my lines and curves back.

Since this was on my to do list, here it is. 1975 original Turn ket to acc, push in pin and pull out assembly. New locks from City Racer. Turn key to acc and push in. Done.

This thing?

My top is a ‘75 (I think 🤔). It’s measuring 26 3/4 inches from the top to the piece that rests on the tub. Yours mounting does looks different than mine.

Maybe a little rubber grease and massage it down onto the pipe? Or the pipe itself is buggered up?

The Cruiser Teq site offered two kits for my 6/75 carb, one of which was more comprehensive, and neither of which had the base gaskets. Got my base gaskets from City Racer. https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/carburetor-base-gasket-for-69-to-87-land-cruiser-fj40-fj45-fj55-fj60

Closest thing I’ve had to a running ‘40 in a while… Taking it to the spa for some work.

Not mine, saw scrolling through marketplace. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1007852808733527/?
