Questions

[roverdan]

Hello and thanks for looking. Just bought a 1972 FJ40 3 weeks ago and have several questions.

1. Anybody know where to get key blanks. Toyota Dealer and locksmiths have none in my local and the keys appear original.

2. Truck has duel fuel tanks but no switch with only one hooked up. Bought a switch. Question is there a fuel return to hook upto the switch or leave it alone

3. Anybody know where to find a owner's manual. Already have a Haines.

4. Brighter dash lights. Is there a replacement bulb. I thought I saw some mention of this.

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm sure there will be more questions.

...1. Anybody know where to get key blanks. Toyota Dealer and locksmiths have none in my local and the keys appear original....


3. Anybody know where to find a owner's manual. Already have a Haines.

1. I should still have a box of early blanks left... lemme check

3. I should have one of those too... Are you looking for the owners manual or the factory service manual (FSM)?... Both are great to have.

2. More than likely you will need an electric fuel pump to pump from the Aux tank into the main or a fuel switch.

4. You can remove the gauge cluster and remove the little hooded things around the lamps to get more light. Try search

IIRC, see TLCA.org and one of their few tech articles on there is on brighter dash lights.

My option was to pull the cluster, get some stainless cut, and install custom gauges....speedo became optional...lol

Do you know what fuel tank it is? IIRC, Man-A-Fre is the likely source for it, might be worth checking with them to see if their is a wiring/plumbing diagram out there.

For the FSM, PM your long lost brother, cruiserdan....he's the resident guru for deals on Toyota-brand-name stuff. (or call him...American Toyota...banner ad in the forum....)
