Power steering - question

[Mike G.]

Hopefully this is not a FAQ on power steering mods., but after researching the tech boards, I couldn't find an answer. I am getting ready to install a mini truck p/s box on my 74 FJ40 - getting parts together for now..... I picked up an '83 turck box complete with hoses and frame mount.

Q. Can I use the mini truck frame mount, or do I need to still get a custom mount such as the one produced by Bill Dorry?

I also picked up a p/s pump from a FJ60 (#D291)- no mount included.

Q2. Can I adapt this pump to the drivers side of my 71 F engine using a Bill D. mount, air pump mount, fj60 mount??? OR - did I make a mistake. Should I abandon the Toyota pump and go for the proven saganaw pump? (I just have a thing about non-Toyota parts under the hood - I'll get over it if I have to though)

Q3. Does any one have any pics of where I will be remounting the alternator on the passenger side? There are a couple of tapped holes on top/front of the engine head - do I use these for mounting the FJ60 alt. bracket?

Still need to locate a double groove harmonic pulley, double water pump pulley, Fj60 alt. bracket. Any good sources for these parts??

Thanks for your info and suggestions.

you cannot use the truck mount. You need to purchase the aftermarket frame mount for the fj40 or purchase a new ps case from toyota and place the pu innerds inside. Cases are around 250$. Frame brackets are around 100$.

I'm trying to add a picture but am getting an error message. It is a jpeg and I am a rookie to this site.

Any pointers???

Thanks,

There is a file size limit on pics here. Go into an edit program, and decrease the size/resolution of your images until they are around 70kB. Then post. Keep the orig image, save the new image to another folder. Are you under "go advanced" and "manage attachments.?" this is the way to attach stuff. Hope this helps.

You will need a mount. OEM will not work

Buy a new rag joint

I dont think it is possible to mount OEM 60 sereis pump to F block. I am sure it is possible but PITA. I make a mount using the F smog pump bracket. JTO has a nice mount that goes off of you head bolts but you cannot use your F air cleaner. Mark at Marks Off Road has a nice pre made smog pump mount.

I dont know the details off hand but you can use a Corrolla mount and pump and stay OEMish

The Saginaw will require that you get a smaller pulley with a wider groove.

I have not used the 60 Alt mount but yes, it does mount on the 3 holes on the PS front. I usually use a late 40 2F alt mount but they might be the same thing. I never looked.

DocB,

Thanks for the help with the picture. The attached picture (I hope) is a photo of the as received Cruieser I purchased over the internet. The power stearing on Driver's side with alternator on Passenger.

Hope this helps. If you need greater detail I can e:mail you directly.

P/S brackets

I have all the brackets you need to do the mini gearbox and the saginaw pump conversion. You can get feedback on my brackets on this web site. You can ask about them or do a search for (wdorry). My brackets are built stronger and don't require removing the head bolts to mount the pump bracket. They are $95.00 each plus shipping or $170.00 plus shipping if you buy both. You can see them at the web site below.

I am working on a mount for 60 PS to a 2F.

Not sure if it will work on your F.

Right now my 40 is down (repairing oil leak from improper assembly at rebuild time). When she's up I'll be fabbing prototype bracket and can post pics...

Then you can determine if suitable for your F
