    304 Pollux orange- need modern paint code

    I believe you are correct about Toyota being fans of astronomy - If I’m not mistaken, all of their car models have astronomical names: Crown, Camry, Corolla, Avalon…… As far a Pollux orange goes, supposedly it was not intended for the US market in 1974 and doesn’t appear on the US color...

    304 Pollux orange- need modern paint code

    I have called every paint shop in the region and none can come up with a current equivalent to 304 Toyota Pollux Orange. Does anyone have the recipe that a local paint shop would be able to recognize/ reproduce? I have searched and also posted in the paint section without success. My...

    SOLD  WV- ‘74 FJ40 center steering arm assembly

    My project came to me with the steering components MIA. I have sourced a manual steering gearbox and the arms etc. but still missing the center steering arm assembly including the bracket that mounts it to the frame. I’m sure that with all the conversions to power steering that there are...

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    Not shown in the pics but I have just about finished welding in the quarter panels - no alignment issues so far. Solid as a rock once the quarters get attached to the rear sill bar…

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    I’m planning to use Al Jacobs’ pumpkin orange on my 74 project. At least when first applied, the 304 Pollux Orange is a bit too bright for my taste. - However based on lots of photo research it would appear that the Pollux orange fades out to more closely match Al Jacob’s orange… My problem...

    replacing AHC globes/accumulators

    I’m no expert, but I have changed globes on a couple of vehicles. If the globe will not break loose with a fan clutch wrench, then just get a hammer and chisel and use the sharp part of the chisel on the widest part of the globe turning the globe in a counterclockwise direction. After a...

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    So now the real work starts. I spent the last few weeks priming all the body panels and measuring /figuring out how everything goes together. Time to start cutting out the old…

    I agree - I finally found photos of one - A bit too much to fabricate

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    my plan (if it makes sense) is to rebuild the rear of the tub while sitting on the frame. The frame has been cleaned and painted already by the prior owner who lost interest in the project. everything is pretty good forward of the mid floor - I'll install new body mounts under the front...

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    perfect - thanks for the confirmation - heading on a road-trip this week to pick up a top and sides. as you noticed, the rear sill has completely collapsed on my project - thankfully many of the parts for the rebuild were included with the cruiser - rear floor and sill, body mounts, new...

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    I have the hinges. Any way to get some interior pics of the header that supports the rear liftgate/ hatch? Can’t be too difficult to fabricate one….

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    the amby doors look great, but I can imagine the leaks and flex they would add. I was planning on using the hatch, and I have ordered a bolt-on tailgate which should strengthen the body structure (especially while I'm cutting out and replacing floors, wheel wells, and quarters... Anyone...

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    So is it possible to adapt my '74 liftgate/hatch to a '79 top and cab sides? Is the opening size physically different? If not it would seem to be a simple matter to add the proper support for the liftgate hinges and weld up the holes for the ambulance door hinges? (since I don't have...

    Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions

    So the hatch (see pic) was standard in 74- does the hatch go with a split tailgate like it came with?
