76 Brake and Caliper options

[BEN QUINN]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of getting this 76 FJ40 back on the road but I'm missing the calipers and rotors. I've been searching the tech pages and searching the site in general but not finding much on better calipers and vented rotors for a 76 with the smaller Knuckles and warn hubs.

I know i can upgrade to the larger knuckles but I don't have the money for the swap and on top of that I already have 4x4 labs hy-steer set up on the smaller knuckles.

Are there other options for calipers and rotors or do i just need to track down 1976 specific calipers and rotors?
If I'm stuck with using original calipers and rotors, Does anyone have some part #'s ? My local auto parts store is having trouble finding the correct calipers and rotors.

Thanks for the help!

The search bar is a little difficult for front brake but I just put this set up on mine. I also have the smaller knuckles. all purchased from rock auto.

Rock auto will also have some more options if you do not want to go with those particular brands. The rotors are vented and the calipers are quad bore.

It looks like the original rotor is 43512-60011

Caliper right - 47730-60021

Caliper Left - 47750-60021

Should get you started

76-80 fj40 rotors , and 90 -95 4runner caliper should fit

I used those same parts on a big knuckle conversion on our 72. Everything bolted up, but the big 4Runner calipers required clearancing for the wagon wheels the truck came with.

When I did the caliper upgrade I also grabbed the master cylinder and booster from a ‘92 4Runner that was in a local yard. The booster just barely cleared the angled firewall brace.

I cant recall which caliper I bought from Rock auto for my 77 a couple of years ago, but they were very reasonable in cost and came loaded with pads. No issues for 2 years and 3k miles.
