Builds Old Miner’s 64 SWB FJ45 (1 Viewer)

Sounds like locked up drum brakes? Put the transfercase in neutral, if it still doesn’t roll, has nothing to do with the clutch. Almost guaranteed you have locked up old crusty wheel cylinders!!!

Thanks Brian

If a shifter is in the neutral position all cars & trucks roll....
....with or without a foot on the clutch pedal...

Subscribed. Sweet truck. Curious what are you going to with the rack

Got it running and was able to slowly move the truck forward. You were right I think the rear driver side is stuck

Thanks I’m going to be keeping the rack with the truck. It’s one of my favorite parts about the truck

Put some tarp or some dark brown or green fabric on top of it and wit will look like the ones from Indiana Jones

Just got my spring green doors in today for the truck. Hinges don’t seem to want to slide into the body hinges. Are there different door hinges for doors for a 64 than other years. The door hinges seem to be different ones and not the ones that came on the doors. Check out the cool Nevada four wheel club sticker on the driver door

Looking good. Love the patina. Are you redoing the seats ? I need to do mines and I am trying to find some guidance on it

Need to swap different door hinges on, they must be off a late 70’s since the door hinges seem to be thicker than the body hinges

I need a new clutch master cylinder for my 64 any recommendations over other brands?

Love green grass 45 pics!! Early clutch master, just about any source will get you one, I always stick with aisin, shouldnt be more than 50 bux!

I’ve never had to replace one of the early tin cup master cylinders and haven’t a hard time finding a replacement on the normal sites

I rebuilt my early clutch master cyl. with a kit form Outfitters. The only issue I had was the return spring in the kit was weak. I popped my original one back in and it worked perfectly (still does a year and a half later). I think the kit was like $13.

You can swap the tin cup onto a newer plastic reservoir master.

Hey Brian do you know what years would work with the plastic clutch master cylinder on a 64

Getting the truck on the road tomorrow and was wondering what the stock weight of a swb fixed top is. I looked around and can’t find a weight for a swb just a lwb. If anyone knows let me know I need to fill that one spot on the title and a picture of the vin to get the truck titled tomorrow.

 

[middlecalf]

3670 lb according to this. Mine weighs less I’m sure because of the rust .
