I'm building 2 sets of bi-fold doors. One has partial hardware, other has none. Planning on replicating the wheel mounts, and sourcing out some rubber wheels, or making them. What I need most is the latches. If anyone has one, two or even three laying around, I'm a buyer. And for that matter...
Looking for useable switch and domelight, including mount bracket. Pics pulled from internet for reference. Message me if you have one or both sitting on the shelf.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I have an early `66 40 that came (to me) with no hard top. I've slowly aquired 2 of the 3 main components to an early corrugated top. I've read all the posts on mud regarding, but it's still not clear to me. My 2 concerns: will the older fiberglass top line up on the windshield? And will...
Hey all. I bought this crate with a complete 1f engine (F222837)(1967?). It spun a bearing and the owner went with a sbc. Picked crank up at machine shop, was told it needs .040" bearings. Looks to all be here. I have no use for it, but couldn't let it go. Do I part this thing out or sell as a...
Hi all. I'm needing a seat base for an early driver seat for a patina restoration. Upon further review, the one I have has been welded, and poorly. I'd rather have an in tact unit. Please contact me if you have one you wish to part with in good useable condition. Picture for reference. Thanks
Hey all. Restoring a `66 FJ40, keeping this rig as was, minus necessary upgrades. Just noticed the water pump alignment is off after putting on new belt. The alt. and crank are aligned, albeit the alt. bracket is either backwards or something, as there's a nut spacer going to the water pump. It...
Hey all. I'm pondering building a second hard top for my `66 fj40, only because I currently have 2 real nice early corragated sides, and top laying around. If by some miracle I found a bi-fold set, would the standard rear cross member work, or is there one specifically built for the early sides...
Hello all. IDK if I'm missing a part, manual shows only the spacer and drive gear go on the shaft. When I install the driven gear shaft assembly into the speedo housing, while spinning it CW, the speedo gear (as can be seen by the thing turning) spins. But rotate the shaft CCW (ie. reverse), the...
Hey all. I'm replacing a leaky front output shaft seal, and fixing speedo housing leak at same time. From what I gather here, the torque spec on those big castle nuts is 94/lbs? That doesn't make sense to me only cuz one needs to set a cotter pin, which could vary the torque by quite a bit to...
Hi all. In the middle of a frame off, getting ready to set the tub hopefully soon. I installed 4 new OME medium springs, 2.5" lift on the rig early spring (I've lost the tags with model numbers) so I can land the frame. I've been staring at these shackles all summer knowing something is wrong...
Hello all. I have and wish to keep a somewhat/fairly stock `66 40, no power steering, no power brakes. drums all around. In the middle of a restore, I can appreciate the benefit of a dual circuit brake system, and need to do this while it's pulled apart. I know there's endless threads on this...
Looking for someone that has an old wiper motor. Specifically needing this brass tube that extends through the windshield frame. Didn't know it was broken until I removed it. I also, IDK HOW!!,..misplaced a terminal screw. I'd certainly pay someone if they have these 2 little pieces, just to...
I've tried for years to come up with a subwoofer in a cruiser that doesn't take up the limited space in the truck, and I think I finally found something that works for me anyway. Most of my passengers are under 5' tall (kids), so this install was perfect. If you have taller passengers, maybe not...
Hello all. I'm not a nube as I've been on this forum for, idk, 10-11 years, maybe more. I've taken so much information off this site, it's finally time I give a little back. I have nothing but time on my hands right (who doesn't), thought I would write up the story of this `67 FJ40.
