I think I found the broken part from a cruiser parts yard here in Colorado - hopefully it fits and all is well once it arrives! Everything seems to be fitting and working fine minus that broken part! lol. Love all the feedback, thank you!

We got this one... works and fits great - just missing this part that broke.. IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER & KEY - FJ60 1980-1987...

Hello! Apologies in advance if I was not able to find this in my search of other threads... We lost the keys to the FJ60... so, we ordered a brand new key barrel (sorry if my terminology is off). After getting the old cylinder/barrel out/off we discovered this part at the bottom of the...

wrong tank I had to drive from Steamboat down to Glenwood Springs for the nearest dealership. Although they ordered a '62 tank they owned the mistake and went out of their way to accomodate me. Great service from Big Horn Toyota and happy with my gas tank and seat belt recall. Thanks to...

Thank you again for all the feedback!! We are scheduled to give this welding thing a try on Sunday....we'll see how it goes! :) Again, I have no idea what I'm doing so I'll be practicing on some bare metal before we actually take on the fender.... With that said, what gauge steel should I be...

Hi Drew, Thanks for the feedback and the link!! Thank goodness I found a friend with a Mig welder that's going to help me out and put a patch in for me! Only going to cost me a 12 pack too!! :) I found some rust holes in my floorboard under the carpet on the drivers side, I think I'll use the...

GREAT stuff!!! Gotta work tomorrow...had not planned on a possible steering problem....now I'll be sweating all the way there - only 5 miles on pavement - not like that will make a difference knowing my luck though!!! I'll cross my fingers since I have no other choice for now...but come...
