So thanks to @65swb45 and Yotamasters I have a 4wd FJ40 again, which I have to say is nice progress. Oh sure I need to source the actual drive shaft bolts for the front driveshaft, but I digress.
I installed an all new brake set up on my '68, with a dual line 93-95 fj80 M/C connected to a 81-83 Toyota mini truck booster. The booster is a newly re-manufactured unit, just to make sure I didn't have any issues with it during the pending event. Yep. You guess it, it's bad. Engine started running poorly and wanting to die when I applied the brakes where the tip off. Got a vacuum gauge on it and you can watch it bleed down to nothing and it barely holds vacuum in the first place.
So I pulled it off but wasn't too worried about it since hey, I should be able to shake a tree and have a new booster fall out since Toyota build approximately a zillion of these pickups, right? Wrong - none of the parts houses have them in stock. Tried all the local places, RockAuto, eBay and Amazon (yes, getting desperate) but no luck.
Any ideas on who might, or do I need to go find a local(-ish) rebuilder and hope/plead for a fast turn around?
