Let me know if you have a straight OEM one in serviceable condition. (Minor pitting or better).
I know I can get them new still, just throwing my line out in the water to see if I can catch a cheaper, gently loved, one.
I turned 40 last July. My wife's gift to me was a good budget to finally finish my 1974 40 series.

Fast forward a year. I am ALMOST "done". I would like to be driving it again before July 1 (my birthday). Truck is currently at a buddies resto-garage (he helped...
***As of this update. All spoken for parts are paid for and shipped.
How I do things to avoid confusion:
To "call dibs" or get in line, POST IN THIS THREAD FIRST with the # of the item(s) you want, then send me a PM. I will base first come first served interest on the order you post up in this...
Saginaw swap is raging on.
This is my first swap (first everything).
got the box bolted up and column all tidy.
Time to mount the pump. The pics I've seen show this post on the bracket (like this:)
Sorry first pic is blurry
It doesn't seem very sturdy. Where do I mount this piece/tensioner...
I took my bumper off to do the saginaw box and I feel like since I've refreshed everything else, I should put a bumper back on that has seen less combat. I'm torn between a new OEM I can pick up for ~$250 or something aftermarket (more capable).
With the exception of a few things that probably...
Need help from those with more advanced 40 series part differences knowledge.
*Search Disclaimer: I used the search before posting this. Also tried running it through google (it can work better at times than the built-in search).
I went to re-install the glass on my hardtop yesterday and ran...
I have searched and searched and I'm at a loss. Earlier this year I saw a photo of someone's truck that they had painted the silver dash trim a copper/gold color. I thought it was in the "What have I done to my cruiser this week" thread but I have scanned SO MANY pages and didn't see it. I've...
When I chopped off all the extra metal that came on my 1/2 doors I found a problem. Someone had installed a window crank (I bet it was Toyota:)), unfortunately most 1/2 doors (mine included) don't even have windows, so that just seemed silly.
What to do with those now useless window cranks...
Sold my truck 5 years ago. Found one cup holder rubber insert that had gone missing (like they do).
First $10. You pay shipping from 84102.
You know you accidentally threw yours in that overstuffed garbage can at the end of the McDonald's drive-through stuck to the bottom of yesterday's fast...
To get in line: POST IN THIS THREAD with the # of the item(s) you want. I won’t go back and forth to my PMs to figure out the order. Feel free to PM me, but post here first to get your name on anything you want. I think we can all agree it is annoying to go into a part-out post or...
Today I found out WHY the windshield hinges are different. From pictures I never clued into the difference and picked up some bad info on here that said they are interchangeable.
Maybe they are interchangeable if you don't want to put your windshield down.
Need freely moving in decent shape...
Headed right now to buy 4 of these but I need a fifth. (see attachment)
I'll be blasting them and making them white again so I just need something in serviceable condition.
Let me know what you have. I'm in SLC, UT
I have dug around for a bit now and can't seem to find any pics of the wiring from the inside.
My barn doors were welded together hastily by the previous owner that must've been near-sighed, and hungover, and didn't care about details. Then he/she plugged the hinge mounting holes on one side...
I'm finally loading my truck up to send to the plastic surgeon. I told her she is perfect the way she is, but she has self-esteem issues.
I pulled the seal off the rear hatch and found a surprise underneath that might be fixable but I'm wondering if I can find one in better shape that I can...
This is one of (if not my first) post on mud since picking up my '74 FJ40. I moderated for a bit over on FJCC until I sold my built FJC for what I had wanted all along... the 40 series. I can make a call in the a.m. and get this info but I thought I'd try to be more active in the community here...
Bought the car of my dreams. and now I'm learning a lot about it.
Thought the truck I bought was a lot cleaner than it's ending up, the PO did a pretty good job hiding the problem areas. I think everything is fixable.
I spent the weekend pulling things apart and grinding the paint/body filler...
I have lurked here a ton but finally decided to begin participating. I don't have nearly as much to offer as I see the members here posting up but here is something:
2011 Annual GHOST RAIL TRAIL? Overnighter?
I hope I haven't broken any rules or stepped on any toes by pointing to...
