Got it!
Lots of options here just about any automotive cable place could get you something made with ends that are close, we also have a few guys parting out a few rigs and there is a good chance one of them have something usable.
I believe @LAMBCRUSHER converted a 60 cable to work, hopefully he'll be along shortly and get me straightened out, if not I know I've been looking for some hard to find speedo cable ends for one of my projects and I'll post the links here to a few of the companies I've found that make custom cables.
Completely out of my wheelhouse, sorry.
The 4Runner mounts work great.
I don't know how to (ping?) someone, but I think Tucker had a e- brake cable custom made, too.

I want to say California Push-Pull makes custom cables...

Thanks for the info I'm sure I can get something to work. I dropped the springs off to be rearched and cleaned up Friday. I'm putting a powerslip locker in the rear end just for the F of it. I know these are some of the weaker axles but I'm running stock tires.
Did they come with whitewall tires from the factory? I'd love to get my hands on a brochure from 1972 anyone know where I can download one?

I do not have a link but there is a site out there with some brochures, might also be some in the picture thread here?
Look at post 55 in this build thread.
I had a 72 and it came new with black walls. The ORNCH on in post 55 of this thread

Not sure people feel the 40/55 axles are "weaker", but I guess everything is relative!
I have an Aussie locker in the rear of my 40 and I did the 2-Lo mod (not to be confused w/ the J-Lo mod) to the t-case shifter. I routinely wheel in 2-Lo, not worried about snapping an axle w/ a stock 2F.

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
If i was gonna modified my Shifter it would be the J-Lo mod 
You saying you want to modify your sh1tter to be more like J-lo's sh1tter?If i was gonna modified my Sh1tter it would be the J-Lo mod

something tells me she could handle your shifter @bobm
What part of the E-Brake are you looking for? I just removed mine and I am going to put in a custom Hand brake. I am going to splice into the cable at some point but everything that is on the firewall is in a pile in the back of the pig.

I think I am ok on the e-brake cable. What I do need is the pot metal land cruiser cursive emblems that go on the fenders. Also the side marker amber lenses not sure where mine went. I have the fender mount turn signal lenses but not the smaller ones on the side.

Looks really good. What did you use on the frame?

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
Looks good! Whats the capacity on the lift??

The lift is a full rise 9k lbs. Which most diesel trucks don't even weigh that. I love it. When it's all the way down it's totally out of the way it goes just as high as a two post lift but is more stable and less likely to drop something. The only downside is trying to work on rocker panels or fuel/brake lines that run the rockers. It is an Atlas which is the Chinese copy of a Rotary product. Saved me about $6000 over the rotary and works exactly the same, no quality issues yet. Good warranty too.
The frame I used rust bullet. Same thing I used to coat my concrete floors. Don't get it on your skin because it is not coming off fast. It's awesome for floors because you don't have to prep them. Just blow off the dust and lay it down. Doesn't pull up or chip.
