I wanted to thank you guys and @RAGINGMATT for making this fix easy for me. I decided to save the radiator. It looked pretty good inside so using Matt's new drain valve was the way to go. I first made sure I could get the old steel tube out of the bottom before I ordered it. I followed @bikersmurf 's advice and I couldn't believe I got it out so easily. The drain valve assembly worked perfectly. Matt even had added the liquid thread sealer to it so all I had to do was screw it in and tighten it up. Just finished a cooling system flush with a working drain valve.
This FJ40 hasn't been driven in almost 20 years. Previous to the radiator issue, I had replaced all wheel cylinders and MC a few weeks ago. Stoked that its running and the brakes are feeling pretty good. Next up are some minor electrical issues. The neighbors can't believe it
