Looking for a factory BJ40/42 Power Steering box

[creamycanuck]

Hi all,

I am in search of a factory power steering box for a BJ40/42.
I have a 1982 BJ42 so a 1980-1984 power steering box will fit real nice.

Please shoot me an email if you have one you can part with.

I know you can buy an adapter plate that will accept a Toyota mini truck box. Bolts to the same place as the factory, and it's still all Toyota. I believe "gnome" on this board is going down that road, he recently acquired the adapter after searching for a factory BJ box. I believe mini truck boxes are easy (ier) to find.

I have just finished researching that option as well. Sounds like it will look bone stock and not cut up my truck installing it. I will go this direction and keep searching for the stock box. One day when I do find the stock box I will do the swap.

wow!
i was looking up some parts on the online EPC and it listed the power steering box at $2800 bucks
ouch , or you can just order the bare housing and supposably put the mini truck guts into it . who knows

With the help of a single email from a fellow Cruiser head I have found a PS Box from a 1984 40.
I'll have it in hand Monday. Amazing price!

Thanks for your help.

Stock schmock....I vote saginaw. I can drive my sprung over 350 powered fj40 with my pinky finger.

Meh, I'm not looking to cut her up. I'd like to keep her as stock as possible.
The OME suspension is next...but I'll keep all the original parts for the future.
I wonder if EBI has shop time for that as well...hmmm.

we'll make time for ya

Lots more time to chop chop since the PS box was a 60 box.

Boooooo.

Just thought of an idea.
I have plenty of connections down in Costa Rica...all LHD BJs as far as the eye can see.
i assume I could bring home a PS box...junk parts=no taxes. Is there anything in particular I need to watch for?
