Alright - I'm actively looking for a FJ60 front axle (right?).... I need a 3.70 front diff, Glen @lextechautomotive already replaced the 4.11 rear - so there is no turning back. I'm looking to swap swap the entire axle so I can add front disks while I'm at it... then I'll move onto a PS setup. Saginaw? OEM?
I have a Toyota PS pump... Gotta figure out if it will work.
my 74 has a later model 2F with two open pulleys (or 1 is a harmonic balancer?). Then, I want to add AC over the winter.... why not.
I guess somewhere in there I'm going to swap out the entire suspension as well.... I'm currently leaning 1.5" low to the drivers side sitting on the shop floor. Looking at OME or HFS - undecided as of yet... minor lift, nothing too crazy.
I still need to be able to put her in the garage every now and again while I'm wrenching at the house. Luckily, I have a full shop at work where I can do major work, but no lifts .... yet.
So, anyone inclined to point me in the right directions, share advice, show me what you've done to your own cruiser - or sit and while I ..... this is my adventure. All are welcome; help, heckle or hand me a wrench.
