I have a '78 FJ40 with a plate adapter between the bell housing and the 4 speed, I've been searching threads for a while and I think what I've read is I need a chevy clutch and throw out bearing. Is this right? it has the toyota slave cylinder and the clutch seemed to work fine. but the throwout...
I ordered these today, I've been looking for joints to make my steering shaft cheap to do a saginaw steering conversion and I found these in the surplus center catalog.
their website is www.surpluscenter.com
the parts are
1-2737
1-2738
1-2739
the top two make a complete shaft with out...
Do I rebuild them or replace them?
what kind of lifespan do they have between rebuilds? the transfer case needs to be rebuilt due to a bad driveline taking out the bearings, and the throw out bearing has gone out. while I have the transmission out should I throw it away, or replace some...
I was putting oil in the Transfer case on my '78 FJ40, and I noticed that it has a crack running down from the area just below where the pto cover plate is it runs down about 1-1/2" it doesn't seem to be in a load area, but I don't really know. is this common for them to crack there? or did...
What do you guys think about swapping in a NV3500 or 700r4 and the transfercase out of a 91 s-10, My fj40 isn't lifted, runs 31-10.5 tires and stock 4.11 gears with a stock style 350 and a single barrel carb, the last time I took it to browns camp I never even bothered with 4wd, I think the...
I have a 1978 fj40, and I'm looking at the fuel guage to see why it doesn't work, and the little wires in the back appear to have burned off, can I heat up the solder joints and jam them back in to make it work? also could somebody post a picture of the back of one to make sure I get them th the...
I am hoping to get some pictures of underhood wiring, THe Previous owner of our 78 FJ40 with a 350 chevy, did some questionable wiring, and I'm trying to sort it out with the wiring diagram, but there are a few areas I don't know about.
near the battery there is a plug with two back w/yellow...
Ok, I feel silly, but in the manual, it say's " reach up and unhook the Speedometer cable, then remove guage cluster" I can see why I need to remove the cable to tip the cluster out, but how do I get my hand behind the dash to get to it?
I look underneath, and there is a fairly sizable brace...
No not that kind,
Does anybody have some drawings or 3d models of the frame and such they would be willing to share?
I can handle Autocad, Solid works and Inventor Native, but I can import most anything. I keep thinking about a bolt in 4 wheel coil system, but don't really want to redraw the...
Does anyone know where I can get Spray Cans of the Mustard yellow for a '78 FJ40, I think it's color 532.
otherwise I'm thinking I might have some mixed and put into cans, but I believe I would have to buy a gallon or more so if anyone is interested in it I would like to share.
Will the center section out of a 78 fj40 rear fit into a minitruck rear end out of a "86 pickup 2wd. I'm just wondering for future transmission transfer case swap, to get a centered diff.
or would I be better off cutting down a 9". I can get a 9" with a spool, or a 86 toyota rear.
I'm new here, but my girlfriend and I just recently bought a '78 FJ40, it seems to be in good shape, there are just a few details I want to address,
The vehicle has a mild 350 in it, and I'm wondering if I get the stock FJ radiator gone through is it large enough to keep the 350 cool?
I have...
