Power Steering for 78 FJ40

kbconti · #1 (**permalink**) 08-10-2006, 07:04 PM

I have a 1978 FJ40 with no power steering and was wondering if they have a conversion kit or if I can take a late model power steering out of another vehicle and adapt it for my use. Any help would be helpful thanks.Ken

Try the discussion boards here: COOLCRUISERS.COM - Toyota Land Cruiser Parts & Restoration
The manual to power steering conversion seems to be fairly common.

Good luck,

Randy

I have a 1979 fj40. I frequent cool cruisers and IH8MUD.com - "The Truth is in the Rocks" whenever I have any questions. I know there is a gm saginaw conversion as well as a toyota pickup conversion. Mine has factory pwr steering so I can't offer an opinion.

I did a Astro Van conversion a few years back with the help af a very good friend. I like it better than the Sagniaw conversion.
