Hi Guys! I'm in the process of updating and redoing the v8 conversion on my 1973 fj40. After losing 1st gear in two Toyota 3speed I found a sm465 mated to a fj40 transfer case for a reasonable price and picked up a new set of motor and trans/t case mounts from a nice guy that goes buy the name Downey. PO had not taken the time or cost to do many of the little thing correctly in my option or yours from what I have read here so I fixing those things!
I hope you guys done mind an old rooky asking question along the way during this journey!
So here is my latest question, The parking brake drum that came off the new to me t case was had not been use when it was in what ever rig it was in as it did not have any shoes or other parts inside when I took it off the case but its not in bad shape.
The drum I removed from the T case that was on my fj40 is also not in bad shape but does have a speedy sleeve installed.
Now to the question when I look at the two drum they are different. I'm thinking that it a model year issue.
I don't know the year of the new to me t case and I believe that the one from my rig is a 1973 vintage.
The question is, is one a better option then the other and are they interchangeable? the one on the right is from the new to me t case and the left one is off my 73.
Thanks for your help.
