    60 series steering box bolt hole measurements for 40 series chassis

    Fairly simple question, although the answer seems illusive! Simply want to figure out the location of the steering box on the chassis to work out bottled hole locations. Perhaps as shown in pic

    1983 leaf spring centre pin diameter

    I need to weld some new spring plates on my doffs as the centre pin holes are ovals out. Can any tell me what the pin diameter is? Stupidly I cannot measure off my springs as I got rid of them. I suspect that the hole should be 19mm diameter?

    Can I reuse tubes?

    Hello All. I am doing a glacially slow frame off resto on my 1983 40. I am currently blasting and painting the wheels (original 16" split rims). The tyres on the truck were 7.50x16. I have purchased 235/85/16 BF Goodrich KM2. My question is, can I reuse my tubes? They look to be in good condition.

    Troubled desicion - '83 barnie purchase / resto

    I have made a little progress on other bits and continue to chip away when I can find the time. I am about to blast the wheels and mount the KM2s - not a big job - but I think the new look will egg me on. Next on the list is sorting the engine chassis mounts, rear gussets and cross member...

    Progressing at turtles pace! A year since I last posted! Jeezz! Here is the new and improved turbo'd version of the 15b - finally got it running again this weekend after the clean up and turbo conversion.

    How much would you pay for a molded reproduction FJ40 floor mat?

    Here is another option: Toyota Archives - No Bull Accessories They make an excellent product - again as Tom mentioned not sure if they make a left hand drive version.

    FJ 40 colour

    This looks like an 1983/1984 truck, so my guess would be Nordic or medium blue code 857.

    I think it is more about the right tools for the job. I might just take it to a shop to get it pulled down and rebuild myself.

    Oops just realise I reposted someone else's SST from mud. Unfortunately mine was not that pretty!

    Troubled desicion - '83 barnie purchase / resto

    Now for an interest post: I stumbled across this when searching for the turbo oil and water line parts. The engine I have was fitted to the Megacruiser (Toyota). However I understand that the 15B-FT has been replaced now in the mega with the 1VD-VT. But check this out: the 100 series provides...

    Troubled desicion - '83 barnie purchase / resto

    The block is currently at a diesel mechanic getting the oil and water lines sorted for the turbo and a few other bits and pieces. He works on it when he has a spare minute. It appears he doesn't have many of those as it had been there for 2 months. I tried making some SSTs to pull the gear box...

    Troubled desicion - '83 barnie purchase / resto

    Well you'll be glad to hear that my mate came over on the weekend and we put down Belgium Saison, and wrenched! I have been too embarrassed to post due to the lack of visible progress. I work on the truck a few evenings a week and on the weekends when I get a chance. The money spending however...

    New Zealand new '70 FJ40 restore

    Colour code perhaps? Unique to NZ? Beige for example is 464

    Many of the NZ cruisers were complete knock down (CKD) units assembled at the Toyota plant in Thames. Some of the components were manufactured locally (such as the front seats and the jump seats) and therefore these are unique in the world, and one could argue rarer!
