Wanted H55F Transmission Support Brackets (1 Viewer)

LITP is correct.
If it helps, there are 6 different sets of side brackets for the 4X series, in 3 different groupings; and their changeover date is 10/82.
The 40/42/43/46 series is one group, the 45 series a separate group, and the 47 series the third group.

The "cradle" crossmember came in two flavors, no matter which group, again with the 10/82 changeover date:
8/80-10/82 = 51403-60010
8/82-4/86 = 51403-60011

I am unsure of the interchangeability of any parts. All this as per the Parts Manual.

The side brackets:

40/42/43/46 series
8/80-10/82 RH= 51433-60020 stamped "R-FB020"
LH = 51434-60030 stamped "L-FB030"
10/82-10/85. RH = 51433-60021
LH = 51434-60031

45 series
8/80-10/82. RH = 51433-60030
LH = 51434-60040
10/82-4/86. RH = 51433-60031
LH = 51434-60041

47 series
8/80-10/82. RH = 51433-60040
LH = 51434-60050
10/82-6/85. RH = 51433-60041
LH = 51434-60051

HTH.

Do you think it's possible that R-FB530 and L-FB540 are for the FJ45? The width is real close with the HJ47 set I have. If it is from a 45 thinking earlier. The late HJ47 set look a lot beefier. Which I find interesting still the LWB didn't get the five speed like the SWB. Since my plan is to go with split transfer in my 65 FJ45LP-B figure one of these sets will work. Maybe @nogo can provide some help if the 530 and 540 were from a SWB or LWB? Believe he said 10/82 so the inspection plate would be the clue if it was considered a 82 or 83.

my head is starting to hurt with all this info.

and I tell people Toyota kept things simple and easy with the early Landcruisers, parts and pieces easily swap between series per year.

LITP:

My unproven belief is that the R-FB530 and the L-FB540 are for the 8/80-10/82 FJ45 Series trucks--there is no break-out as to whether Troopy or Pickup. You're fortunate to have so many choices with the parts you have on hand, and your photos are very instructive. As I mentioned, there are six different sets of the "L" brackets for the 40-Series H55F installations. And understandably Toyota would upgrade any parts they felt needed beefed-up or re-shaped, but the Parts Manual's "10/82" cut-off date isn't specific to what day and what serial number within that month started the newer revised parts.

(The parts manuals from the early to mid-60s did specify actual serial numbers for starting and ending parts revisions.)

In a few instances Toyota did likewise, way into the late '80s. Here's an example for the 3FE crankshaft:

Toyota Service Bulletin dated 10-05-90

The length and diameter of the flywheel set bolt has changed. This results in changes to the crankshaft and drive plate as well.

Starting with:

Production Date October 1989

VIN JT3FJ62G*L1186060

Engine No. 3F-250226

Right you are. The difficulty with the TSBs is that us mere mortals can never be sure we read every last one, unless they were collated and printed -up in a convenient manual. The earlier parts books would reference the serial numbers for changes within the actual parts listings, but never offered any explanation as to why they changed something.

For example, way back then, there were part changes to a lot of the small machine screws when Japan finally decided to join the rest of the world and use ISO dimensions and forego the JIS that had been in place earlier. To look at huge Toyota today you'd never realize just how far they have come.

Think you will find you need to find both L brackets. H7*0 and FB5*0 are shorter. The FB0*0 are the longest and used on the BJ42 & FJ40. Can't remember which thread had the frame measurements but only one set matched that width. We know all the 40 series crossmembers are the same width with some differences. Location of L brackets and insulator thickness to adjust for that. When setting up besides having the transmission mounted with the bellhousing motor mounts would install the front driveline. Then have any lift installed and use a floor jack to lift the frame in the front and let the springs sag. At that point check for clearance between the driveline and crossmember.
