I'm sure the 2f guys will have better advise, but do the oil plug fix and don't forget the power steering box. You will have to reinforce the frame at the same time, where the box bolts up.
Thanks scrapdaddy. Got a little overwhelmed but I think you have it right. I'll be doing the hard to remove stuff right and putting everything else in with the intention of doing it right later.
I was thinking of tearing the 2F down from the 60 to see if it needs anything and resealing it. New clutch. Rebuild trans and transfer case. Axels will go in as they are and I will leave the frame and body as is (with the exception of the front clip and firewall). I need to get the radiator recored and will probably rebuild the brakes. Anything I am forgetting or you think I should do?
simple is usually right... 1973 fj55
these are good courses...these trannies are tough- if it shifts smooth, run it; definitely rebuild the Tcase, and replace the clutch. oil galley plug fix and overall check-up and re-seal...carry on. now when you say the axles, which set do you mean? ttttttttttttttthe 55s or the 60s- whoa, no moer beer



I saw a guy who notched the diff housing to fit his 60 axles on a 40 w/o outboarding once....it's just steel, right? there is enough room to pocket the housing if you're nit too greedy...this was an SOA application, but sua would be the same idea...
