mini ps box question

[mallred]

After searching I found a thread that says you can use 79-85 mini ps boxes for a conversion on a FJ40, I have everything except the box, So I am in Seattle and call around looking for one, the guy at the yard says that 79-80 are one box year specific and $265 and 81 to 85 are the same and $150. This is just the first yard and will have to wait until monday for him to reopen, but I'm confused is there and difference and are these the only ones I can use ? I hope someone can clarifly. thnx Myrle

There are some minor differences in the fluid connections on early boxes, but any '79-85 4x4 push-pull box will work. That is some serious money they are asking. I see them on the pirate4x4.com micellaneous board all the time for $25-50 because people replace them all the time for high steer conversions.

Yeah, for that kind of money I would expect the thing to come in a nice velvet box. Try Nix99, Olympic 4x4 in Snohomish. There are a bunch of yards just north of Woodinville. I think I paid about $120 for an entire working mini truck PS system: box, pump, hoses, brackets etc delivered to my doorstep. Keep looking...
