I’m struggling to find the name for this part off the side of the trany. Can anyone shine some light on this for me? I am in need of new bushings at the end and could use any help to find some.
Thanks in advance!!!

I found that and was looking through it but couldn’t find a name for the part. Also wasn’t sure when I clicked on that bushing in that diagram online at SOR if i was getting to the proper bushing part. I might send them an email.
Thanks for your help!

I have a brand new FJ45 upholstery kit including foam. Bought years back not know what we needed and put it on the truck as a temporary cover.
They have literally only been sat on once.
New these are $795 on Spector.
I’m asking $450 plus shipping.

So what did you end up doing about your seats? Stick with the 25 frames and/or covers or go with later seats?

Sticking with the same frames and going to give the fj25 covers a try from SOR.

 

[middlecalf]

That’s what I have, the 25 covers from SOR. They’re nice. But I’m still looking for a 25 drivers seat frame so I can use that cover . Still using a 1/2 gen later drivers seat.

hey while I have you on the line.
Can you shine some wisdom on this.
My truck when I inherited it had a few gauges in the dash. (Ampere,oil pressure)
Wad that original or possibly added? I haven’t been able to find any info showing those gauges in the dash. I’ll post some pics here in a second.

 

[HUNTER3DAN]

The one below the right blinker and the other is above the ignition.

 

[middlecalf]

No, those aren’t original, but because the rig originally only had idiot lights for oil pressure (OIL) and charging voltage (CHG), folks would add an actual oil pressure gauge and either an ampere (current) or voltage gauge like yours. The dials on your gauges do look vintage, so while not original, they fit the rigs age IMO .

I see!!
Well the entire cab was overhauled and those holes are no longer there. So I was trying to decide if it’s worth putting them in.
I think at this point I’ll hold on to them without using them.

 

[middlecalf]

Do your idiot lights work?

Good point. That I’m not sure yet!! I will test those. Haha

I just found this and is freaking AWESOME. This is basically the missing twin from my truck. Especially now that you painted that color

That’s a good looking truck right there!! Haha let me know if I can provide any info.

Can anyone shine some light on my head light assembly here. The buckets I have don’t make sense to me. I believe before the bucket was installed on the inside of the bib and maybe that was a bandaid done back then?? Or is that how they are meant to be installed?
The lamp assembly doesn’t fit all the way into the bucket like I’m assuming it should??
In the older photo you can see it seems to be mounted from the inside of the bib versus the front side.

I had to refurbish my front. 1962 Maybe the pics will help you. All your lights look original.
