So, I own a small restoration shop, and Ive been working on a frame-off restoration of a 1980 HJ45 Landcruiser pickup that I own for over a year. To say the least, it has been a CHALLENGE to source parts for this vehicle.
A year ago, I went on a global search to find a new head and ended up purchasing the VERY LAST ONE from the Toyota factory. No need to say that it was not cheap. Then, it took almost 3 months to locate an oil pump....check that off the list.
Now, I'm searching for the very last item (hopefully) needed to get a rolling chassis; a FLYWHEEL. Im hoping that someone can help me out here with either a used one or a remanufactured (resurfaced) one.
SO CLOSE to completion.... UGH !!!!!
The entire body has been restored to NEW condition, and is ready to assemble. The axles have been upgraded with the higher 3.7 gears, power steering ready to install, and an AWESOME hardwood bed with stainless hardware ready for bolting down.
I have enjoyed reading the posts that IH8MUD users post, and upon completion will begin listing a TON of parts from FJ40's, 3B diesels, etc.. Thanks in advance for your assistance !!!!!!!!
