Ebay, my friend, they come up regularly and you could get lucky on price. Or if you have the liquidity, buy yourself a truck that has them, snag them, then resell.
I bought a parts truck a few months ago with a friend and we scored a perfect, complete tool kit and a bottle jack that looks like it's never been used.

AFAIK you cant buy the older style bottle jacks, can prolly buy the brown late fj40-60-62 kind. I just picked a sweet used old yellow bottle jack for $20 including shiping.
not sure if you can get the case for any of the 40's anymore, maybe again the late 40, 60+ plastic or rubber kit not the canvas kind. Liquid off road had some repo's Rick D made but I think they are all gone.
most the tools can still be had, I have new hamers, new grease guns(on the way and insanely spendy) scrwe drivers, monkey wrench.
i would guess it would cost $200+ to put together a new late model kit.
the PO of my mustard 82 has his stolen and the insurcance company bought all new stuff, it wasn't cheap.
this is a early 60's kit in metal box, unused tools
this is a mid to late 60's kit
for a early 70's cruiser this is what you would need
this is from my 82 fj40, all new stuff, same a fj60
the older tools are a higher quailtiy then the new stuff......

So, do you carry those in your cruisers, John? Or are they just on display in the living room?
suprisingly only the bottom kit is mine, the metal box kit is a freinds(who want me to have it) the others are just pics. My 82 fj40 thru my 2000uzf all have the kits from when new. I don't have an early kit for my 45LV and thats really the only one I am looking for. I have most the tools to make one however..........just not the bag and the points set
