You might want to drive a 4bt (or 3.3T) to see what it's like. The 4bt is a solid engine, albeit loud.
You might be able to find a well running 2F near you that someone's taken out in a FJ60 for cheap. $3K for a rebuilt F doesn't seem like it's worth it when you could find a cheap 2F.

I owned a 3.4L cummins powered FJ55, the 6AT- turbo, indirect. Near stock HP and torque ratings for a 2F. Not a lot of power, but it was far from sluggish. It wouldn't rev up like a V8, but it certainly would move. I drove the truck at about 70mph, with 33s, 4.10s, and a .73% overdrive. With the...
The original flange should bolt up since they're both "4 speed" driveshafts, at least it's the case with the OP's 75.
If it was me, I would go get the whole FJ60 and swap in the drivetrain, unless you're going for a purist look. Better 4 speed, stronger and quieter (and potentially lower...
The portal 55 used to be mine.

TreerootCO did the photoshop. God willing, someday I WILL build a 55 pickup.
Good luck Gofast!
I've got a few of these, but mine are not the regular fuel cans- they are water cans. The difference is the filler neck is centered, and large.
Finding a spout might prove difficult, the lister says:
"The standard Nato fuel nozzle will not work with this can because they are to small. "

Royal did the disks front and rear and the aussie. The Aussie was the wrong one though and the axle shafts were able to slide in and out of the housing about half an inch- Aussie Locker corrected it for free years after Royal installed it. There was no discernible wear on the locker after a...
Damn people,
65 hits and not one reply? No tape measures? Comeon!
This teaching English stuff is getting old- get me some measurements so I can start planning. :D
Could someone get met some stock dimensions (or point me towards a link) for a 55?
distance from firewall to B pillar
length of front door opening
distance from firewall to seat back
door length
cab height
seat height from floor
It'll be a while before I see a 55 again, and...
No worries, I won't be around trying to spread imperialism by attemping to teach penguins English.
They pay people money to work in Antartica, vs. here where I get random pieces of sheep entrails as payment.
You remember me asking about the phrase you used, "communist made crap?"
I...
Chuck-
Awesome work, but a quick Q- why the hydroboost? I loved it on my pig; the truck stopped incredibly well after the swap, but my engine didn't make any vacuum and I had few other reliable options...
Nice work!

You might be an idiot, but he's a man without taste or refinement. And full of sh*t.
Good luck with the build, and hopefully Clemson can drive 55 again!:beer:

I've had alcans on two trucks. The last set was made for the rear end only: 2.5" lift, an inch longer at the shackle end (with a 2"? over length shackle), and about 500lbs over stock with a 35 gallon gas tank, spare on the back, roof rack which I liked to load down. Worked perfect. 10" of travel...
Ill? Radiation? What's all this then?
I thought I had dystentery again this week, but the blood subsided.
Shoot me an email. Congrats on the new parts princess.
