Toyota's own service and repair manual for the 1971 Land Cruiser is keyed to this model year and trim, which is what makes its clearances, torque figures and step order dependable on a vehicle of this age — the numbers are the ones Toyota set for this year's build, not values approximated from a later revision of the same nameplate.

For a Base 1971 Land Cruiser with no federal paper trail behind it, this manual is the record — each adjustment and repair carried out to the specification Toyota published for the year rather than to an educated guess.
