Bib Needed in Cincinnati & Question

[Chase77]

All,
Im tryin to locate a bib in or around Cincinnati to use this weekend in order to make some headway on my project. Any leads or bibs for sale please let me know. The question I have though is : Are all bibs interchangeable with my 77 fj40? I know the earlier bibs hinge to the frame at different angles and I would need a later style hinge but how bout post 79 bibs? Do they use the same hinge angle as 77 and how hard are they to get ahold of?

Thanks for any help on this,

Chase

79+ bibs the headlights are wider and use a square bezel

78-69? should be the same

pre69 had the marker lights below the headlights

my 7/69 has the marker lights in it. I'd go with 70 - 78 to be safe.

Bibs interchange

The bibs will fit but the head light buckets are different on the 79+ along with the bezel. You older style headlights will not work the adjusers are different. Good luck finding one in Cinci. I am in Cleveland and FJ40s just do not exist in our area. There is one guy near Columbus H&H farms that has some parts.

I contacted him when I first got my cruiser about some misc s*** and was less than helpful in giving me an honest deal. Maybe he was having an off day but seemed like a royal dick.

Chase,

Hit me off-list. I have a few bibs in my parts collection. Maybe one of them will be good enough for your uses. None are mint but there's at least one decent extra...

I drive into the Kenwood area daily and can meet you there with the parts if that works for you...
