Hi everyone. I have an 83 bj40. I have most of the PS parts needed, but would like to find a PS column/shaft and a set of hard cooler lines too, if possible. It's fine if the cooler lines are in bad shape. ( I know, hard to find)

Thanks LMK.

you can shorten your existing inner shaft versus getting a correct one
shortten the shaft and reset the "rollpin"
not sure if the 2F version of the cooler line will work for a B setup.
there was a company that made a reproduction cooler line but it was for the gas version

Thank you for that info. I was aware that it can be shortened, but I have never done it before. Thought I'd try and find an original if there was a reasonably priced one out there. If not, I will probably give it a try.
Both cooler lines look the same to me as far as gasser vs B diesel as they run along the frame to a pump on the passenger side. But I've never owned an F engine.
Appreciate the help

the US PS pump is mounted on the left side of the engine
non US is mounted on the right side of the engine similar to the B setup
there was a write up and specs on how to shorten the rod in the 40 tech section, it was many years ago tho, not sure if it is in FAQ
