I'm the sargent on the right packin' dual carbines.......
Notice the Sargent is also either Filipino or Japanese.... if ya look closely.
Prolly not a Jap.......

Who translated during WWII? Jap-Am's IIRC, right?
They were American citizens that we decided should be fenced in in Colorado and Utah.
The 442nd Regimental Combat Team (100% Japanese-American grunts with anglo officers) served in Italy and France and Germany. There were no Japanese-American combat troops in the Pacific theater. The 442nd was tough as hell, even more so because of the point they were trying to prove. IE we are americans, just like you and we love our country.
The late Seantor Daniel Inoe from HI was a sargent in that outfit. He lost an arm and gained the Congressional Medal of Honor in the process.

lots more done, but little is pic worthy.
the cab is welded to the front tub. the body mounts are tacked in, and the firewall support is cut out and partially replaced with one from the '73 body from Paul B.
still needs a floor in the tub, then finish up the mounts for body and roll cage.

Shawn: what are your plans for MC? Brake tubing? PS?
we have the brake booster and MC from the FJ60. we do have to move the rear brake tubing from the PS to the DS. most of the tubing is there and usable, but we can get more from NAPA. the PS pump is there with the engine. we do need a 60 PS box and then make lines to match each end.
Did that gear box you got from me not work?

I forgot I had that. the bolts were 3 out of 4 lined up correct? it was a FJ62 box?
It is a 62 box. Not positive on the alignment. Don't think it would be a big deal to add some metal and make new holes!

got it. I looked it up again. and only 2 holes match up. I could redrill 2 holes, but if we find a early 60 box it will be easier. both options are open for now.
I think that chassis is an '85, if my memory is correct.

yes it is. the bolt pattern changed in May 1985. this one is early '85 (prior to May). I have the box and truck with me today at work, I'll look at it more closely. this morning we have a school PR and then training, so it won't be 'till this afternoon earliest.

the door tag from the FJ60 says build date is May '85, it barely made the cut for this bolt pattern and explains why I thought it was the other way around.
anyway, pics of floor finished.

Solid! Glad that PS Box works
