Builds 1967 FJ45 LPBlue - Tilda Bogue Service Station

Oh yes. Thats not an issue. The later ones were all bolts

OK good. What size / length did you use? I was going to just find a fine-pitch metric grade 8 bolt that was just long enough for washers and a nut.

M10 1.25 bolts. Not sure the exact length.

Got to inspect and put about 50 miles on LP Blue today. What an awesome ride in an awesome part of Michigan

Since this truck has a ball and claw front axle I had to source a 68+ housing and some brakes.

I had a parts pig here I cut the axle out of and a FJ62 axle I bought for the brakes.

This is lot of work and why the super cool pre 68 trucks are so labor intensive to make drivable.

I have the axle ready for assembly. I did not have any 3.70 so Georg is sending them with all the brake stuff and 4 speed stuff.

Yesterday I picked up the Dobinsons……

It’s all coming together

Do you know what year that axle housing is from?

Do you know what year that axle housing is from?

Not sure. Why? It just needs to be 68 and up. To add the larger birfields from a 60 series you just have to grind a bit.

 

[wngrog]

Do you know the year of that axle housing? Trying to ID same.

1974 housing with 1984 FJ60 knuckles and birfields

 

[Beachcomber Bernie]

Aight. I may have forgotten something but tomorrow it’s going to get real.

Stay tuned.
