Can anyone help me identify this transmission and fuel tank setup?

All set. Thanks!

Four speed with a one piece transfer case. Like a 74 era. The brace on the back of the transfer case is for a v-8 conversion

Installed and ran for like 6 months.

That should make it an H42, right?

Yes it's a H2 if it was from a US imported FJ40 and not a H41 from an other market. On the right side of the transfer case will be a stamped date and serial code. First will be a number most likely a 4 or 5. Next a letter that will tell what month. Rest are numbers that tell the number built that month.

The gas tank looks like a Downey or Conn-Fer auxiliary tank.

It goes behind the rear axle IIRC

AFAIK, only ConFerr and Aero ever bothered to add the three vent ports to get EPA approval for their tanks. And since Aero ran bolts through the tank into the bed of the truck, this would be a ConFerr.

No side cover on my h42 , 77 and 79

maybe this is an h41 or an early h42

Side cover from 9/73-4/76 US spec.
