Does there exist a list of Toyota parts made for non-Land Cruiser vehicle that fit the 2F motor? Specifically interested in a higher capacity alternator and a replacement power steering pump. If not, does anyone have recommendations for quality aftermarket replacements that are a direct fit for a '79 2F? Thanks!

AFAIK, direct-fit isn't happening from Toyota or anyone else. You can adapt an FJ60 alternator to work on that FJ40, and for the PS pump, either rebuild it or go with GM. You will never have '2-finger' steering with a Land Cruiser, but it shouldn't be grossly under-boosted with stock tires (or close to that size).
Rebuild the power steering pump. Having power steering is what makes your vehicle more valuable. Adding a GM unit (while great) will likely make you lose value for a 79.

Therein lies the rub....motor didn't come with the PS pump. But I can tell there was a bracket for it....
Here you go....
Hit up @65swb45 he might have what you need. His stuff is of good quality. If not, you can check on the link below on ebay.

I second giving Mark's Offroad a call. He'll know exactly what you need and will probably have it in stock.

all Jan 79+ blocks were drilled and tapped for the power steering bracket. do you have a power steering gear box?
do you have any pics?
GM CS-145 alternator. Bolts right up to this style 40 bracket.

@3_puppies , I'll post one tomorrow. I don't know how to tell the difference.
@GHalll : that's exactly what I was looking for. I just removed my alternator tonight, and I'm pretty sure that's the bracket.
Thanks again, gents!

You need a 4 AWG wire with ring terminals to go from the positive post of the alternator to the positive post of the battery. There is a plug with four wires, starting with the big wire (it has the larger of the four pins) they are:
S - connect this right to the "+" on the Alt. with a ring terminal (big wire)
F - Not needed
L - Connect to 12V key on source at the fuse panel
P - Not used
The fuse panel has blade terminals on the back of it to hook up the 12v key on source. DO NOT USE THE AMP GAUGE, it may melt or catch fire, you'll have to pull out the cluster, disconnect the amp gauge and wire the two amp gauge wires together to complete the circuit. Then you'll need to disconnect the factory external regulator. That's it! Two wires with the third being the 4AWG to the battery. Very easy set up. Hope this helps!
Edit: Some may say you need to wire in a 12v light to the 12v key on wire but you don't need it. Some threads may mention to wire up an alternator light, that's unnecessary too. If anything, wire up a digital volt gauge or buy a volt gauge that you can plug into the cig lighter if you ever have any questions as to weather the the vehicle is charging or not.

@3_puppies , here is a picture of the steering gear. Its COVERED in gunk, but maybe you can tell me if its made for power steering or not?
Here is the top view of a power steering gearbox. I'm gonna say you box is not powered.

Any updates?
So "s" goes from where to where? It just loops back to the alternator?
Yes sir, S needs a 12v source, the closest 12v source is the POS post of the alternator that the 4 AWG wire is also hooked up to from the battery POS post.
