    79 FJ40 TRANSMISSION / TRANS CASE SHIFTER BOOTS AFTER BODY MODS FOR SBC

    What are some shifter boot ideas after modifying body/trans cover for small block chevy on a 1979 FJ40. Downey, back in the day and Advance recommends moving drivetrain forward for correct engine placement. This puts the shifter boots at the bend between firewall and trans cover, under the...

    79 FJ40 Quarter Dimensions

    The sill is just tacked in until I can find root cause of what is going on. I will use your dims and let you know where the qtrs land. When the sill sits even or flush with the qtrs, the sill and floor line up good but have way too big of opening vertically. I will let you know where my qtrs...

    79 FJ40 Quarter Dimensions

    Thanks for the dims. I will use this to check mine. I will have to do something like you did once I get everything test fitted correctly.

    79 FJ40 Quarter Dimensions

    Hey, thanks for looking into. This one has me stumped. Here are the pics I have. If you need more detail, I can certainly get. The pictures show where the sill needs to be to get a 40 1/4" vertical opening. If the sill goes back to line up with the bottom of the qtrs, I have a big gap when I...

    79 FJ40 Quarter Dimensions

    Can someone please get me these dimensions marked on the picture? Need the top starting point to be the end of the bend down to the flange. Preferably on an original tub. Mine is a 79. Want to confirm that the guy put them in correctly. When the rear sill is even with the bottom of the...

    '79 FJ40 Top to tub gap.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have all the weather stripping in place because I am test fitting before paint.

    '79 FJ40 Top to tub gap.

    Yes, you are correct. The door header/bows are temped in. I will make sure they are aligned and bolted down.

    '79 FJ40 Top to tub gap.

    The door gaps to tub are good. The mounts seemed good as the body sat nice on the frame when bolted down. I could snap some dims from the cowl to somewhere like the post base at b pillar but I would not know if the dims would be good. Definitely something to double check.

    '79 FJ40 Top to tub gap.

    Been test fitting 5/79 body parts before paint and having trouble with the gap between top and tub. The top is resting on the windshield frame as it should, but the top does not sit all the way on the tub along the sides. Also gaps at the bow to doors not even. Windshield is down as far as...

    79 FJ40 rear door opening

    Mine are like yours. Mine is 5/79. Is your opening 40 1/4” top to bottom from the striker surfaces?

    79 FJ40 rear door opening

    I am in the test fitting stage of a 79 FJ40 and the rear door opening seems too large. The rear sill has been replaced by another person and it may not be correct. I just need the vertical measurement of the opening. Measuring from the striker surfaces will work just fine. Thanks
