When I looked at it, to me it looked there were two leafs added to each pack, both in upper and lower in the stack.

I forgot to ask when it was done. He's meeting me today to pick up his plates I'll try to remember to ask then.

He said sometime in the mid 90's.
Folebecks shopped the work out to Johns Spring shop.

Does anybody know if the 75 FJ40 thirds will work with the 84 FJ60?

On the way there
Yes they will but I would not use them as the pinions in 75 were coarse spline and thus weaker than later gearsets.
The best swap for 4.11 gearing is 1978. After that 88-90. Good luck.

I had my first "Autolocker" moment this morning. 
It was still better than driving a car the size of a toaster to work with all the SUV's.

What happened?
Difficult turning in the front end, or did it unload on you?

I turned onto McCarren from Longley. Longley had been sanded, McCarren hadn't. As I made the turn I just touched the gas and the rear end locked up, the back end started to overtake the front end and I was all the way over in the S bound lane, then I was heading for the road that goes around Rattle Snake. I scared the s*** out of some guy that was waiting at the bus stop there. I was just doing the Tokyo slide thing and cranking the wheel back and forth. I finally gave it a little brake which resulted in the locker opening up and me getting a little control over the truck. Lesson learned.
In other news I just ordered a FT2800 for the truck. I was really impressed with yours when we installed it.

That is what you get for hot rodding a rig of that caliber!
Serves you right.
Where'd you order from? How much did you pick it up for?
What antenna did you get? Did you get the brifs done on the 40? what's your PIN number on your credit card?

Where are you going to mount the 2800 Dan? I love that radio and it fits great in the 60.

Ham city, $127, SBB25-NMO, no, 123456.
The rig has a single din radio with a CB mounted in the second din slot, the plan is to ditch the CB or relocate it and put the 2800 in the din slot. I might need to add a cooling fan for the heat sink.

That is a better deal than I got on mine!
Ya know...after all the research I did on that radio, Im very pleased with it...Its got all the whirley birds and watchamacalitz. Plus it came in my favorite color.
Yeah right...You guyz suggested it, so I got it...end of story.

If you don't want to mess with a fan behind the dash, you could mount it above the rear view mirror. I like the radio up there, it is easy to glance up and check it out plus running the cable for the antenna is easy to run along the top of the windows. I'll get a pic if you want, I copied the idea from pismojim.

Hey D,
How did you end up mounting that? When I saw it (and paid attention) it was a "temporary" install at that time. I was REALLY paying attention at that time, cuz that was the "BUSTED" run to Deer Valley, and that 2M saved my ass. That was when I became a convert.
Im still not too crazy about where mine is. The display gets dusty as its facing up.
Its mounted on the side of the center console where behind the e brake. I was thinking about making a bracket that comes off the front of the center console.
If you wouldnt mind, Id love to see the pics of the final install on yours.

X2 I have an NMO mount already drilled in the roof so it would be a short run to the rear view mirror.

There was a box of spring bushings on my desk when I got to work today.
That's good stuff!! I love days like that.....and I love my day today. I just took the truck over to a little spot on base and loaded her down with scrap steel and all sorts of stuff. My collection goes from scrap tubing and flat steel to a hydraulic motor off one of these big military rigs. I didn't want the whole motor, I just wanted the shifter off of it, but I had not tools to remove it. GOOD DAY FO SHO!!!
Sorry for the delay, I almost forgot about some pics of the radio. Here you go,
