Builds Barn find FJ55

[Blastservices]

Very cool! It’s coming along nicely!super slim chances also that a Craigslist ad locally harvests those early needed parts for your truck. Keep the progress rolling !!

Thanks @Blastservices I have not played with the paint much. I want to wait until I can pull it in and out of the garage under its own power so I can wash it properly and not make the garage a mess. Big change from where I was living in the San Joaquin Valley (Bakersfield) now I can actually use my garage in the summer, before in the heat of the valley the garage was unbearable after 11:00 in the morning. Looking forward to this summer!!

That’s called karma. And Dennis definitely has that.

That is a very kind thing to say,thank you Mr. Algazy. Although it does seem to ebb and flow at times. LOL !!

Back at it after some health issues. Looking for worm shaft seal for steering box for my 1968 FJ55. Part # 90311-18021. Or a substitute or a cross reference guide. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Well, I thought I found it, but I was wrong. I'll keep looking.

Looking around, they do make that seal, just over seas. We might need the dimensions of it and check a bearing house for it.

Did you ask Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters ?

Good to see you back!! No pun intended my friend.

Thought of you this weekend when story about the Tehachapi railroad came up.

 

[thorslc1977]

I have not checked with Cruiser outfitters. I did not see steering box repair parts, SOR lists one but not available. It is for 68 -72 FJ55's only. I will measure and take pics but the one I have is pretty hammered. Amayama for overseas?

 

[thorslc1977]

Discontinued at Amayama. Cruiser Outfitters doesn't have one either.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Can you post up the dimensions, ID and OD, maybe we can find it at a bearing house.

 

[thorslc1977]

I will post pics with measurements tomorrow or Thursday depending on work hours. Thanks for the help.

 

[Blastservices]

Basic OD of shaft and ID of housing should serve you well at a bearings and drives jobber. I have one here in town that seems to be able to supply me with anything I’ve ever needed.

 

[thorslc1977]

Inside diameter of bore in housing 31.64 mm Outside diameter of shaft 18.25 mm. Thanks for any help.

This seal finder has several seals that seem very close to what you need, but I'm no expert on lip design, etc. Punch in your seal and look around.

Get with Motion Industries down here in Bakersfield they could probably source something

 

[thorslc1977]

Thanks @scrapdaddy! Their cross reference of Toyota part # 90311-18021 yields SKF seal # 7005. Checking now if my supplier can get it.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Very good!

@bhsdriller, Motion Industries is looking for one closer than the one located in Indiana. I will get that coming if they don't find something closer in a couple of hours.
