Marceline - My '87 FJ60 Build Thread.

Hopefully here soon I'll be replacing the suspension with the OME heavy springs. The suspension I've had on it now is about 8 years old so it could probably use some refreshing...but alas my wallet is only so deep.

Awesome job, and thanks for sharing with us!!!

Got the pump, bracket and pulley today. Love the extra work you put on it for me. My son and I love the coat of bright blue!

@Cruiser Jimmy is seeking the bracket for the AC belt that is attached to the underside of the alt bracket. Do you think you have it? I can find a pix of it if necessary.

 

[JustinJawbreaker]

Can you shoot a pic? I want to make sure I have the right thing he's searching for. I know I have the bottom bracket that ties in with motor mount that the two roll pins tie into. I also still have the compressor up for grabs.

Its under the curved alt bracket you can see it attached underneath and circled in yellow tho it's only 2/3rds the length of my badly made circle. @Cruiser Jimmy has a better diagram type pix. Sorry this is the best I can find right now. ** Added a new pix of the alt bracket on its side and the AC bracket attached and much more visible prior to painting.

I'll have to look at the bracket I have to confirm. I'll get back to you guys.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

yes, that's the bracket I need.

Pretty sure I have it @Cruiser Jimmy. I'm down in NC. I'll have my brother take a picture and send it to me to confirm. Where are you located?

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

He's in Grand Junction, CO. Right Jim? @Cruiser Jimmy.

I have a couple squirreled away, I can hit them with the mighty vac just to make sure they're good. I'm in Cali though, may be somebody closer that has one. Just let me know.

I'm not looking. Thought you were.

Just checking in on this build, I found your truck through your IG account, amazing photos there, the green color is one of my favorite colors I've seen on a 60/62.

I also saw you're in the process of relocating to TX? Whereabouts are you headed? Good luck, beautiful 60!

I appreciate the check in. I really need to update this thread to show everything we’ve done with this rig.

We relocated to San Antonio. We’ll be here for about a year as a navigate my way through a Flight Paramedic course at the University there.
