1970 intro thread

[Anvilfire68]

My FJ40 was my grandpa's, my uncle put Chevy 327 with Holley carbs in but never completed the build. It is now mine and have brought it home. I have the English Haynes but need to Download the FSM pdf for a 2F, body and chassis. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Believe I see Dec 70 which makes it a 71 model. If it has a brake booster it's a 71. Did you pick up a 2F for it? Original engine would be an F155. 2F started 1/75. Plus not all 2Fs were the same. Biggest changes happened 8/80.They were some body changes between 71 and 75. A early body chassis FSM is what you need unless you have a mutt like 68 that the top and doors are.from later FJ40s.
