Fj60 same as Fj62 steering column ??

[In2cruisers]

Have some issues with my steering column on my 60.. There is a 62 column for sale locally ... are they interchangable ??

 

[Gimme a 60]

To my understanding, the mechanicals are the same, however I believe the ignition switch and wiring harness is not the same.

Yes, they are interchangeable. My ‘85 Fj60 has a ‘88 FJ62 column in it and my Dad’s ‘86 Fj60 has a 62 column also.

This is correct - reuse your original ignition switch or replace with new 60 one

Aren’t the switches different?

Yes, the switches are different but they can be swapped between the columns.

The FJ60 ignition lock cylinder 8/80-9/87

&

The FJ62 Ignition lock cylinder 10/87-1990

Are different profiles slightly , but most importantly the depression pin you use the hand-held drift-pin with the key in the ACC position to release and remove both ignition lock cylinders are in different locations , and the pin-bore holes are notably different in diameter ...

not sure about the electrical key switch side of things ?


i suppose this might be what was being kid-glove'd below ?
