    Pinion flange bolt pattern

    Can someone tell me what the bolt pattern is on the pinion flange on an '84 and later truck? I'm getting conflicting information (60x60 or 60x68.5).

    Drive shaft lengths

    I'm in the planning stage of a transmission/t-case swap and need some info. My 10/69 40 already has a 4 speed transmission and transfer case but I would like to upgrade to a split case (I'm running a SBC). Did late 40s that came from the factory with a split case have longer drive shafts? If...

    Shackle and spring hanger swap- do I use bolts, weld- or both

    I'm about to insall a set of 60 lift springs that I salvaged from a truck I parted out on my 10/69 40. I salvaged all of the hangers off of the frame of the donor 60 and as soon as I get the "geometry" figured out I need to install them on my 40 frame. Since I obviously won't be using rivets...

    Are the Birfields reusable?

    I stripped a 60 axle for a disc brake swap yesterday and the birfs have clear signs of overheating. Is this normal and, more importantly, are these birfs usable? Brian Sent from my iPad using IH8MUD

    How tight are bushings supposed to be?

    I just picked up a set of used HFS 3" list springs from a 60 that I plan to install on my 40. The shackles and spring pins were still attached and the first thing that I noticed was that the poly bushings are so tight that the shackles would barely move. I had to use a socket and ratchet to...

    Will Ehsan's half-doors fit an early (10/69) 40?

    I have a chance to pick up a pair of half-doors built by Ehsan, but the door latch mechanisms are very different from stock. Will these doors fit on my 10/69 40? I want the ability to swap between my current "full" doors and half doors. If anyone has these doors or are familiar with them I...

    Radiator mounting

    I'm still unraveling the hack job performed on my 10/69 40 by the PO and have a new question. How is the radiator supposed to be mounted in a stock 40? My rig has what I believe is the original u-shaped radiator cradle, but it is welded to crudely cut (torch) angle steel supports that are...

    2m radio range

    I've been reading all of the posts on this forum I can find and I'm seriously thinking about getting my technician class ticket and putting a FT 2900 in my 40. Most trail communication here is cb based, but I like the idea of being able to reach out and talk to someone when necessary when I'm...

    2F head in Baton Rouge, LA

    For sale 2F head, from a 1983 FJ60, casting no. 61040. Rocker arm assembly included. Engine was running strong at 137,000 miles until a rod bearing failed. $125 + shipping. Just a rough guess, but shipping is probably going to be in the neighborhood of $75- this thing is HEAVY. Or pick up in...

    Trail Candy instrument panels

    I'm about to order one of the Trail Candy instrument clusters, and was wondering about whether to order it unfinished or in the "Flint Grey" powder coat they offer. How does the flint grey compare to the stock pewter? Would I be better of ordering it unfinished and painting with the JTO pewter...

    Electronic speedometer sender

    I've tried researching this, but the more I read the more confused I become; instead of posting what I think I know I'll just ask the question: What do I need to connect a electronic speedo sender to a split-case? I'm planning on using a Classic Instruments 16-pulse speedometer. Classic...

    Is a 60 mph speedometer useable on a 40?

    My 10/69 40 with a 327 sbc rolling 33's and stock 4.11's. It is not remotely highway-worthy (yet) and I have yet to drive it on a highway and don't have a clue how fast it will go. I'm looking to replace the existing aftermarket speedometer and really like the look of the military...

    Transmission top plate removal

    How do you remove the transmission top cover? Do I just unbolt and lift it off, or is there some trick I need to know to something I need to watch for? Any small parts that might go flying into the back corner of my shop if I'm not careful? For a change I'm asking this BEFORE I start...

    I H8MATH!! Tire size and gearing changes and speedo readout

    Okay, I will admit that math was never my strong suit. I mean I can barely add, and trying to figure out effect of tire size and gearing changes on speedometer readout is KILLING me. Here's where I start: an '83 60 speedometer assumes stock 235/75R15 (i.e. 29") tires and 3.70 gearing...

    Mechanical speedo gear change / correction

    I know this has been covered before because I distinctly remember reading about it... but my search skills must be off today because I can't find an answer. I have a 4-speed with split case from an '83 FJ60 that I want to install in my 10/69 40 and I need a speedometer cable. A standard...

    inspecting an unmounted 8274

    I'm looking for some tips on what to look for when shopping for a used Warn 8274. Problem is most of them that I come across aren't mounted or wired up, so I can't check their functioning. I know of a couple that are listed at an upcoming auction, but trudging a battery in with a pair of...

    Jack stands

    I need to purchase a set of jack stands to work on my 40 and don't know what size to buy. I know bigger is usually better, but bigger is also more expensive. I don't want to cheap out but also don't want to needlessly overspend. Will a set of 3-ton stands safely support a 40- perhaps for an...

    shackle angle

    ...angle is! I've looked at a lot of pictures here on Mud that were described as having a "good" shackle angle, and they all seem to be about 20* / 25* from vertical (about half way to a 45* angle). Does this sound about right? EDIT: The springs are COCOT HFS springs that are on an '83...

    ACE Rust-Stop paint formulas

    I thought I would start a thread for people to post the mix formulas for Toyota colors that they had color-matched in ACE Rust-Stop paint.This thread is for mix formulas ONLY; there are several other good threads if you want to discuss ACE paint in general. A fellow mudder (jimd4x4) provided...
