Nov. 1973
I was smoking crack and got my years screwed up. Not a 3 month span as I posted but a year 4 months. SInce some production of the 9/73 models could have either wings or no wings.
Turn signal were up until 12/74
non wing windows started in 9/73
Markers lights were until 12/74
Emblem was after 9/73
Hood was before 12/74
Do you mean fender emblem by the side marker light?
Anyone have a close-up of these emblems?
they are the 9/'73 and newer FJ40 emblems. same thing.

The block was tanked when it was bored .020 over and everything else has been sandblasted and painted so it is good to go.

A/C is mostly finished. All I need to do is install the new drier, and expansion valve. before I can install the box under the dash. The condencer is from a BMW of some sort. I have the part # if anyome needs it but I dont know the aplication. I had to get 2 custom lines made from the compresor to the condencer and from the condencer to the drier.

I had to remove a few brackets and modify a few others but all in all it went in very well.
Michael; I might be mistaken BUT it looks by eyeballing it that you might have enough space for a low profile high performance puller fan behind your radiator; remember the highest part of the puller fan is in the middle and it seems like you might be able to squeeze it in between the belt and pulley shaft....worth a try if you have one handy

well I dont have one handy, however there is about 2 1/2" between the radiator and the engine. I found a lowprofile Spal fan that is a 16" fan and is only 2.02" thick so I will get one ordered ASAP.

Geting closer. I got the A/C buttoned up short of installing a new drier and charging the system.

ARB lines run, compressor and solinoids installed and switched installed in dash.
Also got the seatbelts installed. The rears are 2 FJ60 center belts and the fronts are 80 series sholder belts.

I am in awe....
How do you get away with FJ40 front springs? Is this a common practice? Looking at front springs myself, just wondering...
Also, I would BET the owner won't want to sully the package with those wheels and tires, will they be for sale? I take DIBS on them, they're 16 inch, right?
But I have to wonder (as we all are), what is the ballpark expense for such a mod? C'mon, that's an acceptable question, isn't it? I might want the same done to mine, instead of buying a current plastic imitation.

...........is it still at ULC?;
So the front 80 belts are long enough?
Good to know!
Would you do me a favor and take a close up pic of where you mounted the retraction mechanism to the B pillar?
TIA!
