Found 2 sets in the shed! SSSSHHHHHHH🤫🤫

Sounds like @bobm can pad his retirement buy asking an outrageous price for the last available items.
 
Never have 😎 Never will 😎! All the same since day 1! 👍

Good for you.... glad you're on the forum! My post was in jest.... and I hope JMack ends up with them just because of all his input here!
 
What are these bolt holes for?

Factory front seat belts.

Perfect! Sometimes I get in a mental block. It didn't have a front seat when I got it, and my part vehicle left years ago.

thank you.
 
Yeah, I can't remember the thread pitch, but I've got a tap out in the shop.
Here is what I used for my 1969 FJ55:
Hex Cap Screws M10-1.25 x 30
Hex Nuts M10-1.25
Split Lock Washers 10mm
They fit perfectly into the original threaded holes.
 
I just bought Seats that had the seat belt receiver attached. Those holes were not there when I got my Pig. Plenty other random holes tho.
 
Took a break from the 55 and visited my 40 in Colorado. Can’t wait to unite them in the new shop.

It's probably a coffee getter. I'm transitioning to retirement in Durango Colorado over the next 16-18 months. Just a hobby vehicle as my body doesn't enjoy camping without the amenities of a Tempurpedic mattress. (3 back surgeries)
It'll make the run to town and maybe a few runs from Ouray to Telluride if I need more room than the FJ40.


As long as the heat here in Oklahoma doesn't get too out of control, it will get me to the hardware store or the local breweries. It was funny last night because I asked my wife about parking the 55 in the third stall so I could more easily get it out to drive. Currently, the stall has my son's little BMW 128i that she drives infrequently since my son is in college and likely won't take the car to Boston.

Her response was "I won't be able to get the BMW out and you're really going to drive that thing?" Obviously she doesn't see the attraction we see.

Nice and close to Rico - Do I hear a post-Covid PP plan?
 
You’re building a place in Durango? That’s beautiful country and a wonderful place to have 2 real nice trucks! Congrats!
 
I thought I’d go from hard core welding and building to a lighter side of fabrication and re cover my sun visors.

Got started should finish up easily from here.
Funny thing is I came to my marriage with the sewing machine 32 years ago.
