This was on my '40 when I got it, it was cracked and someone mudded it over. The mud that is on it is from the late 1970s. I was going to fix it when I painted it recently but managed to get a semi-new one.
This one has the early-style square corners.
Surface rust mainly top and bottom, its...
Many moons ago and a much dumber version of me converted my 76 fj40 to a SBC. That involved changing the throttle linkage to a cable and finally that cable has broken at the pedal end. The kit I got back in the day was a complete petal with a cable assembly that replaced everything. From the...
Looking for the spare tire latch hook that mounts to the body just about the bumperette. Mine is driver's side.
I've some how acquired a passenger side version of the hook so if you want to trade for a mirror copy, I can.
I'm looking to get one, 20-22k, a 14k wont work.
Lots of options, BigTex 22GN's are nice but it looks like if you want it built tough, there are lots of stiffening and heavy duty options available for it.
Any opinions on BT or other brands? I'm looking at new cause I'm seeing very few for sale...
Has anyone put one in a SBC and remoted the air filter?
I found this gadget that could be used as a start for remote filtering and snorkeling system.
Comments?
From AIRAID:
Mine may have become 'misaligned' somewhere along the way. The bracket that screws to the dash pad then clips in support shelf on the upper inner dash doesn't line up on mine. Either it binds the dash pad hard and scraping paint or the shelf is bent (not an impossibility).
This is what I got...
I painted it so i want to bolt it on somewhere. One leg is slightly longer.
I suffer fro m CRS. That means i Can't Remember Somerhing something...

I've been working the pinouts on the combo meter / speedo.
2 questions. Pin 7 says it a 'Reed switch / emissions computer'. Any ideas on it's functionality?
2nd, on the upper back near the cable connection on the speedo., there are 2 fairly heavy gauge brass with screw on blade connectors...
I think I finally figured out I reused the stock motor mounts when I converted it to a SBC. (Thanks who ever posted a picture of the stock mounts). For some reason, I can't remember what I used back then.
Anyway, I see the updated stock mount is square. Are there any issues with it as a...
Ok, I’m finally going to do this. I’ve meaning to start a build thread for mine but being the expert level procrastinator that I am, I was always waiting for tomorrow.
Anyway, in previous posts , I’ve described my progress on my truck as being glacial, so I am naming this thread:
Climate...
Hey all,
Whats a good off the shelf radio replacement for the dash hole? It'd be good if it had input from Bluetooth or just a mini input plug and perhaps switchable output to an intercom system. Speakers are a nice novelty too but are really just there for looks when you're whining down the...
I'm about to do the exhaust on my glacially progressing rebuild. I remember seeing some frame off pictures a while back of a really nice example of twin mufflers mounted behind the t-case. I thought I saved them but over the years there's lots of stuff I thought I saved. Anyone have pictures of...
At long last, I'm about to apply body paint the beast.
I think I read somewhere that 1 gallon was stretching it, 2 gallon was better, gave you some leeway for making mistakes. (Not that I make any of those....). I figure it will be better to buy one big batch where supposedly they can make it...
I've been doing some experimenting with it.
The driver's side floor pan of my -40 has a lot of surface rust.
I first stripped the remaining paint with a chemical stripper. I then sanded with my D/A and 60 grit.
With each application of phosphoric acid (I've done 3 24 hour soaks so...
I've been looking for paint codes and I'm not getting far.
I see that wheel color, as a consensus on this site, is something called T1447 medium grey.
I took that number to my local PPG guy and got absolutely no where. He called some color library on the phone and they'd never heard of it...
Any one have measurements, say center of axle up to the bottom of the lip of the fender, both front and back, for a stock suspension?
I'm looking to get some new shocks and with the mix of parts I have, along with the fact I haven't seen a stock crusier in decades, I'm not sure whether to go...
I need a couple of nut plates for where the ambi door hinges attach to the tub. Quick search is failing me, are there new ones available? Make your own suggestions?
TIA!
