Does anyone have a radiator grill screen for a ‘73? I lost mine during the resto.

Greetings all, Just bought am A/C system from Old Air and need to source a passenger side mounted bracket for my Sanden Compressor. Searched the forum with spotty results - thought I'd ask for guidance from the community. Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

Hey everyone, i'm looking for some recommendations on a rim that would fit over disc brakes. These would also have to fit over locking hubs. This is for a 1973 FJ55. Thanks in advance!

I had to buy a new fuel tank. I bought a new OEM tank. It came a flat black color and really looks like it needs to be painted. What is the correct color for a 1973 fuel tank? Thanks!

So I have a 1973 FJ40, and I want to decode my vin. I have tried every website out there, and they all say my vin has "not enough characters" or it's "invalid". My vin is 10 characters, and is like FJ40XXXXXX. (Six numbers after "FJ40".) Where can I decode this vin, or get some information on...

Recently addicted, can't thank the fine members of this site enough for the invaluable resource that is IH8MUD. My Girlfriend and I started looking and couldn't stop till we were grinding rust off our very own. I realized I should document this adventure as we went along, I'll attach our first...

I hope this is the right subforum, if not, please let me know where to go. So I bought a 1973 FJ40. I went to my local auto license place. I paid $6000 for the old truck, which as you probably know, is fair for a beat up 73 truck. Here is the problem. The auto-license place needs proof that I...

I need a step to help my kids get in the back of my 40. It needs to be one of the ones that has the flanges facing the inside rather than the outside, and I think that means it needs to be '74 or earlier.

Mostly stock aside from a non factory roof rack. Little rust on the rockers and on the rear pan and on the lower front fenders. No rust on the gutters and none on the tailgate. Appears to be mostly there aside from the engine. Has a 3 speed transmission and transfer case and both driveshafts...
