    Hole Measurements to Drill on 78 FJ40

    I’m going to be getting my seat frame, roll bar, tire carrier and emblems laid out and holes drilled tomorrow. Does anyone have measurements on those things? It’s been so long since my truck was together!

    Rear Sill Fitment Help

    I got it fixed. I’m not sure why we had it sticking out that far, but it was a simple matter of taking out some sheets cruise, cutting one well, then sliding it forward. I bolted in and everything is sitting where it needs to now. As for the quarter panels wrapping around on the channel, if I...

    Rear Sill Fitment Help

    What am I doing wrong here? The cover is sticking out quite a bit further than I think it's supposed to.

    Can anyone tell me what's going on with how my sill is fitting? The cover is sticking out quite a bit.

    You’d have to at least cut out the bottom portion of your quarter panels to get it in.

    1978 FJ40 Resto - Lord Jesus, What Have I Done?

    It's been a minute. I ordered all my panels from CCOT, my sill from @Awl_TEQ and a few misc. things from Real Steel Cruisers. First off, the sill and the panels from CCOT are such great quality. I'm so glad I spent the extra money on going with them. As most know, life gets in the way. After...

    Builds 1979 FJ40 Old School Overhaul

    When asked if it was a Ford, he said, "hell no chevy!" Here's a picture of the motor in question and speaking of never being able to experience the full output of an engine, check out the airboat he built from scratch. You could hear it coming from a mile away. The thing is incredible.

    Who has early front doors on a 76 and up FJ40?

    I have older doors on a 78 and am getting ready to build a new tub. I'm hopeful that I can use them.

    1978 FJ40 Tub Dimensions

    Thanks guys. This really helps a lot! I was looking for the measurement between the actual pillars. Unfortunately I wasn’t by my truck and didn’t really have time to get a picture and mark what I needed, so sorry if there was any confusion but you guys answered it perfectly.

    1978 FJ40 Tub Dimensions

    Hello all! I'm in the process of rebuilding my tub and unfortunately do to an awful PO, I don't have much to go off of. What little left of the original is completely rusted through and he got creative with zinc plates and pop rivets. I don't think my tub is at all where it needs to be for me to...

    I need to support my tub but I think the width at the back is off to begin with. I have pretty big gaps when I mount the doors. Does anyone know the distance between the channel the quarter panels mount to? I need to get that right before I weld in my supports.

    Yeah, my tank was drained and pulled out before I even started cutting or welding.

    FST Question

    Seconded, @Trollhole, can you explain that process in a bit more detail? I'm putting my doors on now that I'm running your soft top and having some fitment issues with the Real Steel bows at the B-Pillar. It's like it's pulled forward about 1/4 inch too far.

    It was super easy to install. It's clean. No welding necessary. A little bit of cutting or grinding but nothing crazy. It's no longer embarrassing trying to parallel park in front of large groups of people.
