    1960 straight six interesting eh ?

    Crazy how similar they are. A little history from Wiki... The Type A engine was Toyota's first production engine, being produced from 1935 through 1947. This engine was a 3,389 cc (3.4 L; 206.8 cu in) pushrod, overhead valve, 6-cylinder, three bearing engine copied from the 1929–36 Chevrolet...

    How good is your handbrake?

    Mine used to be super strong until I drove off in low with it engaged. All rebuilt but cannot get it back like it was. Either loose or too tight... sounds like adjusting it so it rubs some and drive it a bit is the next step? Hopefully wear it down a tad and then the adjuster will put it in...

    1979 FJ43 from South America, Carburetor questions?

    Choke is manual, cable operated and should come from the engine side of the carb. There should be a clamp that you can secure the cable sheath on the carb and then the cable attaches to this bushing with the screw in it to secure the cable. Take the air cleaner off the carb and move the...

    Where to buy body panels?

    Got real steel rockers recently and they seem to be correct length, measure at 34 1/4" which matches what I could compare too. Don't see any measurements posted anywhere. Anyone able to take some measurements for comparison? These are the early style BTW. I also got the mid and rear beds...

    Maybe an easy question about guages

    Seems to be in a normal spot on the gauge. First thought is are the gauge and the sensor matched? Running a late 80's engine in an early 70's truck may be part of the problem but not sure. If I were concerned I would get an aftermarket gauge and get some readings. Think it should be in the...

    Weld Through Primer

    Good info. Just putting together a bed myself and getting ready to weld on rear bed supports. I'm thinking self etching primer on the mating surfaces then clean up the spot weld holes as noted above before welding. That bed is way nicer looking than the one I got from real steel! I got an...

    Anti-inversion shackles without greasable pins?

    Can't you just swap the pins with a bolt? I've never had a problem with a greaseable shackle pin other than losing the grease fittings in the rocks. I also have greaseable spring pins on my 40 and they seem to hold up way better than solid ones. My solid pins would bend but the greaseable...

    4 wheel disc brake help

    I think this is the nature of the monte carlo setup. The rear brakes are just too strong compared to the front so they will lock when the rear unloads. I read at one time that an alternate is some 2005-14 mustang rear calipers. I have them on the shelf but have not got around to installing...
