And.... power steering pump leaking. I put 4 of them on mine and each was leaking within a month or 2.

Did you buy the OEM Toyota? My 80 had the same problem so I bit the bullet and spent the extra money on the Toyota pump.

I learned to keep fluid with me at all times.

You can get the reconditioned Toyota ones, that's about all they make for the 40/60 series.

A new Toyo one is hard as hell to find.

And aftermarket ones rarely fit.

I got my 40 from Oregon for about 3.5k.

Gotta love the west coast

Let's put it this way, the seller is asking the price of a mint, unrestored, spotless, low mileage late 80s 62 for an average, possibly ratted out 60 with obvious needs.

85 86 87 60's are more valueable than 62's

It's perceived value.

They're more likely to rust, the carb engine can be a PITA if not maintained, and their general age and application usually means they've been through the wringer a lot more than 62's.

The 40's have style and the timeless "Land Cruiser" look going for them, the 60's need an assload of work to be deemed more valuable than a newer, cleaner, more reliable, less rusty, and overall sharper truck.

They are a nightmare to restore, too.

tell me about it I sunk 8K into my 60 after a watercrossing that was a little deeper than expected but got brand new 2f engin (old one had 230,000K ran great except oil leaks and p/s pump as mentioned earlier) paint and body work and OME suspension. I cant wait to get it back its supposed be be done this weekend but thats about the 3rd time they told me that. Then when it gets back i have to installed the carpet, panels and seats. I'll post pics when its back!
