Freds40 builds a 60

[D'Animal]

LOL!

I am always listening to my engine, tranny, axles, everything on my rig.

It's slowly moved it's way up on my priority list. I can't remember the last trail truck I had a radio in.

I know that feeling. I'll never go without tunes on the trail again.

I'm waiting for the loud "POP" from underside.

What about the sweet duel media player in the 40?

I was wondering if that would be brought up..................................













All wood center console (plywood and 2 x 4s) with 2 crapped out 6s, a head unit with a tape desk, a second head unit with a cd player, a toggle switch to select between the 2, and a stubby rubber dildo antenna. An all inclusive sound system.

I just finished my console/sub box this week and it's nice to have some low end again. Music is one of my joys of driving so it was hard not having some tunes to listen to.

 

[freds40]

I've been driving my tow rig lately since it has music and the 60 doesn't just yet. Needless to say I need to get after that problem.

 

[freds40]

Nothing yet. Still need to collect a bunch more cans so I have some coin to build it.

Just buttoned this up a few minutes ago.

Took it for a spin around the block and it's working awesome. I used RayN's write up https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/251286-homebrew-saginaw-ps-pump-installation.html and it helped me see some ideas I hadn't before. I also opened up the restrictor for a bit more flow.

Glad to finally have a leak free pump that I know will hold up for quite a while.

 

[D'Animal]

Did you make me one as well?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Did you get this pump out of a volvo as well? Did the pulley come off the donor vehicle?

 

[freds40]

It's a square body Volvo Saginaw pump. I had 2 GM pumps, a buddy had 2 Mopar pumps and they all were narrow belt pulleys. I have the pulley spaced out a bit to line up but I will hopefully rebuild the pulley in the future.

I also was able to use the factory FJ60 pressure hose on this setup.

 

[D'Animal]

I take that as a "NO".















LOL!

 

[freds40]

Nope, not yet. I wanted to make sure mine fit before I made another. As it is, I have a little modding to do. It's super simple so I will make you a set when I get back in the garage.

Do you have a pump yet?

 

[D'Animal]

I found out 11teen minutes ago that you used a Volvo pump and not a GM pump. I have a GM pump.

Nope, not yet. Do you have a pump yet?

 

[freds40]

The pumps are the same. The pulleys are different. If your pulley is the wide GM version, we should be able to make it work.

Ah, good info to know.

I'm jelous of your power steering pump. I don't know what the previous owner of my fj60 meant when he said he had the power steering worked on, because it leaks like crazy and every once in a while makes a whiney noise.

 

[LCOwner]

Hmmmm. I may need to make a trip to PaP this weekend. Are you going to be at your parent's any day this weekend?

 

[brokenparts]

well done sir!
