    Wanted  Front spring plates for a 78 FJ40

    I need a set of FRONT spring plates for a 78 FJ40. The ones on my truck are peened back into the U-bolt nuts from being drug over rocks. I need to remove the plates to add caster shims. U-bolts in good condition would be a plus, as I will have to cut the ones I have off. PM me with pics...

    Optima red top questions...

    OK, Anybody know how an Optima battery acts when it's at end of it's life. I have a red top in my truck and have no idea how old it is. PO was not so kind to mark the punch outs on the label. It has an Interstate label on it and I'm pretty sure it's at least 3 years old and it has been fine...

    Rear-end question

    Downey Spare tire rack ????

    Anybody out there that's been around for a while that can help me identify this older swing-out spare tire rack for a 40/47? I believe it was made by Downey, based upon the the markings of the casting. I've never seen another like it. It's made of steel and has a Con-Fer jerry can mount on...

    Emissions Question-CAT on a pre 79

    I've done a search and not been able to find any good answers to this question. Has anyone added a catalytic converter to a pre-79 FJ40 to aid in getting the truck to pass emissions? The reason I ask is I did get my 78 to pass CA emissions, but it was a bit of a struggle and had to do a lot of...
